installing a flagpole
About a year ago, we lost our flagpole in a storm…it may have even been during Hurricane Sandy. The flagpole bracket was plastic and a strong wind finally snapped it off. With everything else going on, it wasn’t a priority to put up a new flagpole bracket, but finally, when it was 18 degrees […]
Show Business | Tagging & Setting Up
Today I’m continuing the series on “show business”, aka being a vendor at an antique show/fair/market. If you missed part one, you can check it out HERE. In part two, we’re going to talk about tagging (branding) and planning the space. If you haven’t noticed, I’m a little in love with my tag. There’s something […]
Show Business | Part 1
As I’ve mentioned how I’m getting ready for the Luckett’s Spring Market, I’ve received several e-mails asking various questions about my process, so I thought I would share the answers with “the group” in the way of a series. I think we’re overdo for some information-heavy posts, anyway! So, here we go… If you’re happily […]

As soon as I unwrapped the first piece, I realized what they were – disposable, absorbent pads. Also know as “wee pads.” As I was opening everything, I couldn’t help […]
fun finds & help wanted
I don’t know about you, but the whole “sping forward” thing messes me up for a week each year. This morning I could hardly keep my eyes open as I made lunches for the boys. Jeff took them to school and I crawled back in bed. By the time I dozed, did my workout, showered […]
Antique Textile Junkie
I remember the first time I browsed through an antique store, I left with two things. One was an aqua mason jar with a zinc lid and the other was a delicate cream child’s bonnet, obviously old and handmade. I was drawn to the yellowed patina on the fabric, the dreams that may have been […]
the biggest piece of ironstone ever
My mom and I went out shopping on Friday in the hopes of finding cool things to sell in the online shop and at Lucketts in May. It was a little slow at first, but we ended up finding some really great things. Of course, we were hunting for ironstone among other things and found […]
