FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY | Breida's favorites and link party
Today’s FFF is brought to you by Breida with a B (or I before E except in Breida, as I call her!) You’re in good hands while I go take a bath and go to bed! So. Our friend Marian is a little busy this week. Seriously. Do you know anyone else that is as […]
guide to shopping my space at Lucketts 2014
If this is your first time shopping my space at the Lucketts Antique Market, this post is for you! If you’re a regular, this will just give you some updates or maybe get you geared up for the event. I’ve been asked a lot of questions about what to expect from the fair and my […]
what's in the truck
We loaded the truck this evening and, unlike previous years, it didn’t rain! It has rained most years when we pack the truck, which isn’t a huge deal, but it’s a pain to try to keep everything dry. It was very soupy (humid) and threatened to rain, but waited until everything was in the truck. Whew! […]
More French Chairs
We’re on the final stretch to Lucketts. The truck gets loaded today and we’ll set up our space tomorrow.

the French twins
I told you there were lots of furniture makeovers on the way! Here’s another one… Remember this pair of French chairs? I found them on Craig’s List for a good price and they were in really nice condition. A reader asked why I don’t just leave them alone. It’s true, I could probably sell them […]
Boxwood Dresser
For those who have been asking for furniture makeovers, well, you’re getting them now! And I have about 12 more pieces in the basement that still need to be hauled up for their chance at a picture. This piece is actually a sort-of-custom dresser that’s already spoken for. I received an e-mail a few weeks […]
the "young at heart" Lucketts giveaway
The Lucketts Spring Market is just one week away! I teeter between bring-it-on and give-me-just-another-week! I’ve already started stalking the weather report and my pile of finished furniture and packed boxes is rapidly growing. This week is about finishing the pieces (mostly upholstery) that I’ve been procrastinating on and doing some easy last-minute things […]
