This year, I had the great opportunity to go to the Lucketts Spring Market for the very first time.
I had visited the Lucketts store last year, but have never attended the Spring Market.
Even though, I was only able to spend a few short hours there on Sunday, I so enjoyed it….
…..and plan on going back next year!!
The true highlight of this fair was meeting fellow bloggers and Miriam of Hometalk.
This is the “admission booth” …. the cutest.
I believe the person shown at the left of the picture in the long skirt, is the coordinator of the Spring Market.
The entrance was flanked by two large birdhouses!!..
We arrived soon after the gates opened and there was already a large crowd…
Found the Hometalk booth…there is Donna of Funky Junk Interiors doing a stenciled sign tutorial…
Donna was demonstrating using her power drill…I was paying close attention!!…
Donna doing more demos…..
Miriam of Hometalk and me…so glad I finally got to meet her!!
And here is Amy of Atta Girl Says (also my antique booth partner) and I with Donna…
…..Donna is the type of person who you feel like you have known her for years..
……….Donna is an incredibly “fun” person!!
Can you see Marian of Miss Mustard Seed at the left of the picture?
Her booth was next to Hometalk’s..
A “bloggers group photo”..
From left to right: Me..Paula (Virginia Sweet Pea), Miriam (Hometalk), Jocie (The Better Half),
Liz (Naptime Decorator), and Allison, the Hometalk Lucketts trip winner (The Golden Sycamore)
Donna and Karen (The Graphics Fairy)…looks like Karen had her eyes slightly closed…
…..that is unfortunate as she has the most incredible blue eyes!!
This sign is very special to me…you will see why in a future post 🙂
I had a wonderful chat with Marian’s (Miss Mustard Seed) mom…she is such a heartwarming and supportive person…
I gained much inspiration from Marian’s booth…and was able to purchase a couple of treasures from her…
My hubby stated that I did more socializing than shopping…a good thing for him!!!
So many things to see in so little time…
Wish I had enough room to bring that cute blue wagon home!…
I always enjoy my hubby coming along…he is a trooper…
…..and a good thing to have someone making a few trips back and forth to the car!
Now…other than “socializing”…where do you think I spent most of my time?
In the Lucketts Design House!!!…On my first trip there, it was closed…
…..and I am so happy that I was able to go through the house on this visit!!…It was awesome…
Stay tuned!…Design House post coming soon!!!
And I just want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of Oklahoma…
…..my heart is breaking with every news detail of their horrific tragedies…

WOW…what a day you had!!! I just can’t believe how many terrific markets and shows go on down there in the South! The Midwest REALLY needs to get on the ball!!! We are SO lacking around here!!! I would have loved to stroll and hit the different booths and demonstrations…that’s my kind of day! I see TONS of things I would have wanted to bring home with me. Plus, it counts exercise, right? 😉
I’m really looking forward to seeing your photos of the design house. Hey…your husband has really nice legs! 🙂
Have a great afternoon, Shirley!!! Glad you had fun!!!

What a fun day for you! I’m sure it’s especially rewarding when you are able to meet fellow bloggers ~ that I would love.
My heart breaks for the people in OK. Can you imagine the immense loss? Children, homes, cars, pets ~ horrific!

Shirley,
Looks like you had an awesome time! I would have loved to have gone but live way too far away. Glad to get to stroll along with you in your post, great pics.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of Lucketts. My husband & I are going for sure next year and I’m so looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to your next post about the Design House.
What a fun post and fun time, again that is another trip I would have loved to have been able to make if it wasn’t for this MS. I don’t want to whine I am a very lucky woman but I get disappointed with all these cool events. Thanks for blogging about it, Shirley!! Can’t wait for the next one.

Lucketts looks like a fun place! I know you enjoyed meeting everyone and buying a few treasures from Miss Mustard Seed! Hometalk’s booth looks interesting too! Thanks for taking us along with your pictures!
Great pics and I’m going with you next year.
Oh man! Wish I could have been there. Can’t wait to see the design house. Just the porch alone looks interesting. xxoo

Oh what fun. I see several things that would have tempted me, especially the great big birdhouse. It rocks and would be such a fun thing for the back yard in Maine. You do get around to see some pretty wonderful things.

It sounds like a wonderful day, Shirley! How fun that you got to meet so many bloggers. All the booths look like they had some eye-catching and interesting things. I’ll bet there were lots of display ideas, too.
Shirley, I’ve seen pictures that you and others have posted from Luckett’s. It sure looks fun! I can’t wait to see the design house pictures.

What a great recap, Shirley! I laughed when I read you spent so much time socializing! You should have told me to quit talking! haha
Thanks for your amazing post, it was fun seeing the market through your eyes!
I was there but missed you and some of who you have pictured! But it was a fun day and just so much goodness to see! I missed quite a lot of it though…so nice to see everyone’s pictures. 🙂
