the day the world didn’t end
My mother in law sent me an e-mail telling me that I didn’t need to bother getting ready for Lucketts, since the world was predicted to end today. (She was just joking, by the way.) Well, it didn’t and I’m glad for it. It was an amazing day. I’m incredibly tired, so I’m just going […]
all set & a winner
I finished up all of the little things for Lucketts today and I think I have done all I possibly could. Here are some final pictures before I hit the hay… I’ll be selling loose lavender by the scoop. My silver baby cup makes a perfect measuring device. I have lots of beautiful dried lavender […]
ready for a hurricane
Today was moving day. We took our 17′ truck down to Lucketts and unloaded everything into my pavilion and tents. It was fun seeing all of my pieces coming out of the truck. I realized I forgot to show you one of my favorites pieces…this amazing china cabinet (made in Sweden) with a bowed front. It […]

A Special Lucketts Giveaway
We are in the thick of getting prepared for the Lucketts Antique Market. I took a break to open a lovely package I received from Jami of Freckled Laundry, though. She makes the sweetest stuff. She sent me some of her clay tags and a lavender sachet from Maria of Dreamy Whites. Love! Anyway, back to […]
Frenchy Chair Makeover
When I spot French chairs that have never been rescued from their 1970’s splattered wood and harvest gold or burnt orange velvety upholstery, I get giddy. Most people won’t give them a second look and most people don’t see the potential. Seeing potential in furniture is one of the things I do best. When I […]
One Week
The Lucketts Fair is in one week. I can’t wait and I hope time slows down both at the same time. I still have a lot to do, but I really love the stuff I am bringing. I’m also excited about some plans I have and people I’m going to meet. Some plans… I’m baking mini-cupcakes […]
