Lucketts Recap 2017 | part 2

If you missed part 1 of the Lucketts 2017 recap, you can check it out HERE. Friday was VIP day, but it was a little different this year. The VIP tickets were essentially for early admission from 8:30 – noon. At noon, the gates opened to general admission, so we were expecting a morning rush […]
Lucketts Recap 2017 | Part 1

The story of Lucketts 2017 is a big one! There’s all of the stuff, the great customers, the new venue for the market, our gracious hosts, and my amazing team who helped me pull it all together. When I last posted, I shared pictures of our set up in the Show Barn at the fairgrounds Thursday, the […]
Lucketts Guide 2017

I’m getting this guide in at the last minute! It’s just been that kind of day! Since it’s late and I’m pooped, here are the details… LOCATION Just a reminder that the Lucketts Spring Market isn’t at Lucketts any longer! It’s at the Clark County Fairgrounds in Berryville, VA.

finished “French twins”

Now is the time when everything I started gets finished. Well, it’s also the time I buy new things that need to be finished, because it’s my biggest event of the year and I have to give it everything I’ve got, but that’s another post. One thing I finished this week was the sibling to […]
