ironstone, a tool tote, bottles & tags
After all of the craziness of Lucketts, I decided to take the week off. I knew I probably would, so I cleared the calendar. Sometimes I think I’ll want a break and then I don’t. I feel the momentum and I am raring to go. This time I thought I would want a break and […]
Lucketts 2016 Recap | part 3
Saturday was the early day of the Lucketts Market, kicking things off at 8:00, so it meant another early morning after a full day Friday. I also didn’t sleep very well the night before. My mind was swimming with the events of the day and the tasks for the next. Sometimes it’s just hard to […]
Lucketts 2016 Recap | part 2
Before I continue with the story of Lucketts 2016, let me rewind to one year ago, VIP Day 2015. We had tons of help lined up, cameras at the ready to capture the frenzy that usually happened when the gates opened. The anticipation was building as we neared 10:00. The gates were opened and customers […]
Lucketts 2016 Recap | part 1
My alarm went off at 5:15 am on Friday morning. I don’t usually do 5:15 am (or anything before 8:30, if I can help it.) It was like Christmas morning, though. Your body feels energized instead of groggy. Exciting things await, so let’s get to it. I showered and put on the linen shirt dress […]

I’m going to give a full recap of Lucketts once my brain solidifies once again. It’s total mush at the moment. When I was driving home from the market on Friday, I was trying to articulate to my mom how “out of it” I felt after such a full day. I almost didn’t recognize the […]
what’s left at Lucketts
It’s so sad, but the Lucketts Spring Market has been canceled for Sunday. There was heavy rain Friday night and it rained off an on all day on Saturday. The parking fields are covered with mud and standing water, so there is nowhere for customers to park. Just an FYI for those who were planning […]
shopping guide & T’was the Night Before Lucketts
This is it! The official guide to shopping the Miss Mustard Seed booth at the Lucketts Spring Market in 2016. I wish I had more pictures to share of how everything is laid out, but that just didn’t happen this year. The weather was beautiful today and I could almost hear my booth calling me […]
10 lbs of flour in a 5 lb sack
When I arrived at Lucketts this morning, all of the 20′ truck had been unloaded and the smaller truck was half empty. As I surveyed the tent and the jumble of furniture that was placed generally according to my map, I realized space planning on this scale is not my forte. 20′ x 40′ sounded huge […]
