I survived my third Lucketts Spring Antique Market this past weekend, and what a wet, but wonderful time it was. This year, my pal Emily who consigns with me, was there to help, sell, and keep me company. Here we are pictured in front of our booth. (Pardon the picture- I think I asked the wrong dude to take it for me…).
Emily has been a long time-client, recent friend, and more recent consignee. This market was her first, but at the end of it, she was already planning for next year, and repeating, “I can’t wait!”. It was so great to have her by my side, or be huddled under an umbrella with her! Here are some pictures from our set-up before the customer rush was allowed through the gate Saturday morning.
Saturday was beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for better weather until about 4 pm when it started raining. It didn’t stop raining until Sunday afternoon, but that didn’t stop the customers. They still came out, even in the rain!
Another highlight for me, was meeting fellow bloggers and some of those who actually take the time to read this little ol’ blog. I was so excited to meet Marian, aka Miss Mustard Seed, and see her work in person. Her work is amazing, as I am sure you all know, but she is just as warm and adorable as you could imagine! Here is a picture that her dad took for me of us. That’s me on the left, and Marian on the right. She was so funny- she thought the weather was bad for her hair, but it looked so adorable in her do-rag with a little curl sticking out in the back. My hair usually is pretty flat and straight, so the humidity actually gives it more life! It was so awesome to meet one of the most creative and inspirational furniture bloggers out there!
I didn’t get a chance to take pictures around the show, and I wish I had. There were some amazing sights to be seen, and it was jam-packed full of awesome vendors. I did manage to get a little shopping in, and will have to show you my purchases later.
Thanks to all of those who came out, rain or shine, to do a little shopping, spend time with friends, and enjoy the Lucketts Spring Antique Market. And thanks for making Primitive & Proper’s third year there our greatest success yet! I am sending you all big virtual heartfelt hugs! Oh, and also, thanks to my parents for watching my kids, and my husband for putting up with me and being the manual labor of the operation. 🙂
