Here are some of the recent finds that are coming with me to the Lucketts Antique Market…

 

 

…horse show ribbons from 1957 & 1960…

 

 

 

 

…this petite paper cutter (it’s about 6″ square)…

 

 

 

 

..this apparently came out of an old church…

 

 

 

 

…a hanging scale…

 

 

…and a bunch of film holders.  I’m excited about the idea I have for these.  (I hope it works!)

In addition to pricing things for the antique market, I did some major cleaning in my house, bought a couple of dressers, and cleaned out some of the basement.  I’ve been wanting to tackle that basement for a while and I’m finally almost back to my full energy, so I got a good start on it.  There were piles of boxes and spilled Styrofoam peanuts everywhere, furniture that needed to go to the thrift store, photo props and samples that have been hanging around too long…you get the idea.  It’s looking much better down there and I made room to start a good pile for Lucketts.

Speaking of Lucketts, I’m heading there tomorrow to drop off my latest milk paint dresser.  I’m also going to do some more shopping on the way down and perhaps the way back as well…

Lucketts Fall Market 2026 Preview & Details

Bringing a few paintings to potentially sell at the Lucketts Spring Market was a test to see how my art would do there.  Of course, after years of being a vendor at Lucketts, both at the markets and in the store, I had a good grasp of what would do

Beekman Arms Inn | Rhinebeck, NY

Mom and I left Thursday morning to drive a little over five hours to Rhinebeck, NY, for the Country Living Fair.  Our plan was to meander our way up, stopping at antique malls along the way.  That plan didn’t materialize because I didn’t have much time before the trip to
