two full weeks until Lucketts…
I was looking at the calendar today and it had me sweating! I only have two full weeks to finish getting ready for Lucketts!!! Ah!! And, Kriste, my trusty sidekick, has gone on maternity leave. Slacker. So, the pressure is on and it’s time to put the pedal to the metal. Since it is fast […]
Farmhouse White Buffet
Last week was a push week when it came to getting pieces of furniture from the to-do pile to the done pile. And we made a lot of progress! One of the pieces that we finished (as a team effort) was this buffet, painted in Farmhouse White… I didn’t get a proper before picture of […]
cleaning out my closet…
Even though we’re not sure where and when we might be moving, we’re making a point to purge things we no longer use, love, or need. It’s the perfect time of year to do that sort of thing, anyway, but we’re taking it to a new level. I cleaned out my closet a few weeks […]
the cast iron rabbit
I don’t carry a lot of wholesale items in my booth each year at the Lucketts Spring Market, but I do bring a few. It’s nice to have multiples of some items and to have “fillers” that can supplement the antiques. A couple of weeks ago, I was placing an order for garden scissors and […]
Friday art date
I’ve shared about my friend, Katie, who is an amazing artist with formal training. Well, we had an idea to sketch/paint together once a week on Friday afternoons. Life has gotten in the way a few times, because we’re both busy, but each time we have gotten together, it has been so amazing. Last time, we […]
the green bookshelf
When I was out shopping a couple of weeks ago, this piece caught my eye the minute I walked past it. I leaned over to my mom, who is a great shopping companion, but doesn’t always like the things I’m drawn to, and said, “I’m buying it.” She whole-heartedly agreed that I should. It’s just […]
…and the two become one
Remember these two pieces? Well, it took a bit of time to develop (three times lifting that hutch up onto the base and lots of looking and discussing to be precise), but these two pieces finally came together to make one awesome, bead board hutch. And wow-wee…some matches were just meant to be. The piece was a […]
the gray shoe cart
The days are ticking away and the Lucketts Spring Market is getting closer and closer. Even though I am in pretty good shape, I do need to squeeze in shopping trips when I can. So, Saturday, after my son’s soccer game, my mom and I hit an antique store to see if we could find anything. It […]
