My space at The Old Lucketts Store is a big part of my business, so I have to share what it looks like every now and then, especially since it’s constantly changing. Here’s how it looked last Thursday…

It’s going to sound like a cliché, but I think the highlight of my trip to the Country Living Fair was the people I met.
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
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

I am dying over the blue lamps. Total love.
Marian, I was there today and you will need to restock girl. That room was pretty much cleared out! (again).
Am I seeing the tag right on the buffet…$195?? I wish I lived close by that would be gone!! Love it! You do such a wonderful job with your space, it always looks great!

Like the fan!
OH how I wish I could shop there 🙂
I am curious to know how much you're selling the fan for? And the galvanized bucket with the lavender in it…thanks! 🙂
Love all the (probably sold) painted pieces, but really love the pumpkins!
Your good! Love your space. Maybe someday I can get out east and see it in real life. Fun metallic pumpkins btw.
I thought of you sooo much this weekend! I went to a flea market called 1st Monday in Canton Tx, you would have gone crazy! So much of "your stuff" there. Yep it would have been a kid in a candy store. You should venture down this way sometime and bring a BIG trailer!
Wonderful treasures. I have a fan like that out of my grandmas old wood shop … maybe I will paint the wire part white. It looks great!
As an antique dealer I love love love when you show pictures of your booth. Congratulations on the sales! And of course I cannot wait to see what you paint to put in!

your space is inspiring and so lovely! i must say, you also have the best light in there!!
🙂
I'm curious… did your deer mount ever sell? I don't see him in there.
Oh my goodness, that buffet, if only i could get there, it would be sooo gone. And the vintage fan, what can i say. Your booth always looks amazing.

I really like the wooden open shelves on the castors. What was it used for?
I'm coming back the first week of November and hopefully we can have a coffee hour.

Thanks for sharing. So good to hear you are doing well. You deserve the success. Looks amazing as always! Well done on the sales! I'm really missing painting – I broke my arm quite badly when I was on holidays in the US (in Bar Harbor). still 3 more weeks with my cast on…

I'm in love with typewriter and blue lamps. LOVE!
Everything looks so nice…I want all of it. I really wish I lived closer to that store. Hoping my daughter goes to college in PA so I can be that much closer and perhaps shop there soon.
Congrats on your successes. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Those blue lamps caught my eye too!
I'll take 8 chairs please. And that little red wagon holding the flatware….ohhhhh.
Great pictures! They are always so inspirational to me. I have one question though, in the 4th picture there is a picture on the very left hand side, black and white and all typography. Did you make that yourself? I love the idea and would like to see a full image of it sometime.
Un très beau panel que l'ensemble de ces photos…
gros bisous
You still have that gorgeous pastry rack, I wish you were closer, I want it so badly!
Oh I am dreaming of selling out of a space like this.
Oh those chairs…Thanks for inspiring. My booth here in the Vancouver area needs your touch…Thanks for showing us your wonderful booth.
Lovely as usual…I see a 'friend' standing by the window. Is this another dress form, or is your 'friend' just spending some time watching over your space?
Great place to shop. Wish I was closer.
Just found your thru Savvy City Farmer's link, from Parisienne Farmgirl! LOVE your shop – it looks adorable. The perfect blue on the buffet, is it grey/blue? and the blue pumpkins are sooooo fun!

Oh your such a inspiration! I love reading your posts and I so wish it was closer to me 🙂
I loved thos Turquoise Pumpkins…and the blue buffet will look perfect for my house:)
Thanks for sharing! It always just makes me feel so good inside and so inspired when you share pictures of your space at Luckets. 5 pieces!!! Congratulations! Guess you will be busy this week!
Absolutely beautiful!! And congratulations on your success! Is there a tutorial on the "punkins"?…BTW, found a business partner…working out the details…looking to open our own "second chances kinda place"….hmmmm…maybe you wanna visit Indiana for the opening (10 or so months away, but MARK your calendar!!!) Anywho, I found three beautiful pieces this weekend…can't wait to CREATE!! God is Good!
Oh that's SO great!!! You keep making me think I should make the leap to finding a retail space..oh the MANY things to learn!
I love your booth..But then again..I love all of your work..Have a great week..

I love it all, The dresser is AMAZING! I love the staging with the red wagon… you're very inspiring!
Hi
Is that a console/sofa table that the fan is sitting on in the above photos? if so, do you have the dimensions and price, or should i call Lucketts to check.Love your stuff!
Thanks, susie

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! I want it all. I love the rug, the chairs, the table and the whole lot. I'll take it all! I wish I lived near you so I could stalk your section of the store and clean you out!
Hey There… Question… Where did you get that table in the first 3 pics? I have a little booth in St. Joseph, MO… I think it was mine??? Of course you've fixed it up! If not… I had one soooo similar! Let me know, I'd love to hear!
