Luckett's Finds

I wanted to share with you, the treasures I found at Luckett's Spring Market last weekend...

Oh me...I was in heaven with this Rachel Ashwell fabric...

 

...now, what to make with it, hmmm?

And these vintage sewing notions, I just couldn't resist...

 

This apron is going to look so cute in our new kitchen (there were so many to chose from but I was really good and only got one)...

 

And this deer...I actually got at a local antique shop the 2nd time I saw it!  The girls and I really wanted it the first time, but didn't 'need' it, so I talked myself out of it, tee hee.  But when it was still there when I went back 2 weeks later, I knew it was meant to be ;)

I also met Miss Mustard Seed and she told me about Luckett's Fair on August 28th & 29th.  Even though that's my birthday weekend and I'm supposed to be going to gamble in West Virginia...I think I may have to change my plans ;)

I've never actually sold my creations at a craft show before, but I think it'd be fun!  Is anyone planning on going, or better yet, participating?  Or have you done a show before and have any tips for a newbie?

Big hugs,

Jamie :)

What great finds! I've never sold at a craft show before, so unfortunately I don't have any tips for you. With all the cute goodies you have, I'm sure you'll do well no matter what. Enjoy your Sunday! Theresa

Jamie- I LOVE that fabric and the apron is precious! Wonderful finds, my dear! I cannot wait to hear where you are moving. Did I miss it or are you keeping us in suspense? Is is somewhere in the state?? Did you find your dream home? Please share.:) Lori

You always find such great stuff. Wish I could go shopping with you.
And yes, you should absolutely sell your stuff at the craft show. You'll be a big hit.

I love your finds! Awesome stuff! I have done a bizzillion craft shows & I have actually thought about writing a book about it! lol It is so neat to meet new vendors & network with them! Bring sunblock & lots water! Perhaps a tent or beach umbrella as well. Oh...don't forget to bring change! I always bring $50 worth in small bills, that amount has always worked well with me for all of the shows I have done. Good luck & remember to bring snacks & introduce yourself to your neighbor (hint: she can watch your booth when you have to go potty...and vice versa) Good luck love!
