What's new in the shop and online...

We have a lot going on these last few days and moving in to May.  May is shaping up to be quite a month, with a Design House, wedding reception, a new baby, and Heather's own big baby --- our Annual Lucketts Spring Market!

With everything going on, we still had some time to bring some new items in to the shop and order for the online store.

Here are our new finds for the week...

Even busier...

Yesterday, we gave you a sneak peek of what Amy has planned for the May 3, 4 & 5 Design House - her very own advice booth!

May is going to be a crazy month and we're all going to be busy, busy, busy. 

We'll be squeezing in Amy's advice booth along with a wedding reception, the Spring Market, a new baby, and a new puppy.

Piece of cake, right?

Busy busy busy…

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Lucketts has a big big month coming up, so I thought I would fill you in on some of the highlights…

Who's Who...Meet Ann of Wild Thyme

Meet our favorite vintage clothing dealer, Ann of Wild Thyme!  Ann is known for her beautiful clothing, accessories & hats.  Here is a little bit more about Ann.

Wild Thyme is my retirement business, something I began after completing a career in teaching and youth services, but my interest in vintage clothing and antique textiles, like me, has been around a long time.

I began wearing vintage when I was in college in the 1960’s – Victorian petticoats, 1930’s men’s suit vests. I loved combining styles and eras to find my own look. In the late 70’s I lived in Amsterdam for a short while and spent many happy hours in flea markets there and in Paris. I came home with my suitcases full of old lace and vintage bits and pieces…over 30 years later I am still doing the same thing!

April Design House Sneak Peek!

We are so excited for this weekend!

It's been a month in the making and now we have a sneak peek for you.  Our April 5, 6 & 7 Design House is on the way!

New decorating themes, new furniture, new garden-inspired accessories, we have it all!

Here is a quick sneak peek of what we have this month...

Pucker Power - Red Onion Pickles

Anything pickled rules! 

These red onions are super yummy. They are great in salads, on hamburgers, smoked trout, and take the Cowbell's ham & cheddar biscuit sandwich up to a divine taste level sensation. 

Get ready...get set...Spring Market!!!

The Spring Market countdown has begun!  We are officially a month and a half away from the May 18 & 19 fair!

Heather has been diligently working on the Spring Market for months now - permits, road signs, t-shirts, wrist bands, logistics, port-a-potties, and the list goes on and on.

While we can all appreciate all of the hard work behind the scenes, I can't pass up the pretty pictures part!  Here is a little bit about a few vendors we are super-excited to have this year.

April 5, 6 & 7 Design House - getting it to all come together

We took a few pictures of the Design House process for the next April event (April 5, 6 & 7) throughout the month for you.

There is always so much going on all month to get ready for the three day event.  The house sort of looks like a tornado hit up until the very end....boxes everywhere, trying out new colors and layouts for the rooms, "smalls" tucked everywhere.
