If you’ve read my blog recently, you’ve been hearing a lot about Lucketts. Lucketts is a tiny town in Northern Virginia, right near the Maryland border. There is little of interest there, except to people like us. Lucketts is an antique hot spot and it’s one of my very favorite. The Old Lucketts Store will keep you occupied for a few hours if you take the time to meander through all of the rooms and nooks in the old three story building. If you hit it on the right weekend, you can also sop up the inspiration that is oozing from the walls, ceiling and floor in their Design House. Not only can you bask in the vintage glory, but you can buy the things you love.
I want those brushes! The texture on them is just gorgeous.
Can you think of 100 uses for that industrial metal shelf? Oooo…I could!
….and what have we here? Does that sheet music wreath look familar? It was made by yours truly and I am so honored to have my work in the design house. Actually Amy, one of the designers, purchased a lot of my pieces, including the hand painted butcher sign, the mirrored side table and all but one of my chalkboards. (The “zinc” chalkboard frame is currently featured at Mod Podge Rocks, which is another honor!)
Did you notice my sheet music eggs in the bottom corner of the picture as well?
So, if you’re not doing anything this weekend, head over to the Lucketts Design House. Bring your friends, bring a truck, bring you wallet, and leave your hubby at home with his favorite meal and a football game (to butter him up.)
I still have not looked at all of the links posted to FFF two weeks ago, so we won’t meet again tonight. Hang onto those projects for next week!
I’m sharing these amazing vignettes over at Color Outside the Lines.

I too love the industrial shelf… it's fantastic!!
MMM, add a sheet music wreath to my must have bedroom decor… Maybe a mirror top nightstand too. Can't wait 'til you all come!!!
BTW – I just spray painted a bunch of those same butterflies for the outside of our playhouse n garden shed… Now I'll have to go take one down and play with glass glitter in my room…
Thanks AGAIN for all the inspiration!!!
That is just wonderful! Congratulations, Marian, on all your success. You have certainly worked hard for it!
If you look up Chinese calligraphy brush on ebay, you will find loads of those brushes for not too bad prices. I've purchased a few over the years and love adding them to vignettes.
Congratulations, Marian! Oh how I wish I was close enough to go to Lucketts!

That sheet music wreath was my favorite part, so I was ELATED to see YOU made it!:) Please don't get upset when I make a copy of it. LOL! 🙂 I don't know if you know about my weekly link up post called Vignette Fridays! I'd love it if you'd link this up. I find it greatly inspiring and the photographs are stunning! Thanks for sharing! See you next week on Vignette Friday's , I hope! 🙂 Artie
Looks like your talent is being recognized by those who can know!
I am so sorry there is no FFF I had saved up a post especially to link it up here. Ah well, I've got another one up my sleeve for next week, but don't you bail on us then too 🙂
It looks like a fabulous place to spend an entire day! I would love that….maybe on my next trip to visit Cape Cod family….smiles.
Love everything you do! Have you ever posted or are you going to post a tutorial for that music sheet wreath? I'm thinking that would be a great gift for my son's orhestra teacher!
OMGosh, love it. I want to make some of those eggs. The song sheet wreath is gorgeous. I have made a couple of these, but never used music sheets. Looks great.
Beautiful stuff gets my mind working 🙂 am following now 🙂
love your wreath. It's wonderful. and thanks for showing all so much wonderfulness.
I absolutely LOVE the wreath and it inspired me to go out and give it a go… although I couldn't find any music sheets, I think it still turned out really well! Thankyou! if you want to have a look check it out at http://stumblefotos.blogspot.com/
Congratulations on your big success at Lucketts! I used to sell my handmade childrens clothing at local markets – it was a ton of work (as you know) but always worth it when it was a really 'good' day. I love your stuff – I wish I could have 'shopped by' 🙂

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to comment on this post earlier, we went out of town and I wasn't near a computer part of the time – missing the later entries to the Vignette Fridays posting! Thank you so much for posting this. I'm so happy you did, it's beautiful and inspiring, and that's what Vignette Friday's is all about! 🙂 I hope to see you again next week! Artie
Hi!What a beautiful site you have. I can see that you are working hard for this blog.
–House and land
I'm behind on my blog reading – call me a slacker (just not to my face).
I love the industrial shelf, and the chest of drawers, and the picture, and the topiary, and the chair and… *deep breath* and… and…
P.S. LOVE your stuff…
