Merry, Merry Inspiration...

Two weeks ago I did a short post on my visit to Lucketts and then promptly forgot to show the rest of the photos!  For those of you who dislike retail shopping, this may be just the thing for you. I have exchanged "old stuff" with a close friend for years and it is one of the highlights of the gift giving season for me.




These came home with me.

  A little junking, thrifting and holiday inspiration, just in time for the weekend!

Sleigh Ride!

On Friday, Mr. A&A announced he was taking the day off and I didn't have anything pressing, so down the road we headed, a bit into the country to scour around one of our favorite places. The Old Lucketts Store. The OLS has been around about 15 years and is in a big green building located in what used to be an old post office. About 5 years ago the owner Suzanne purchased the nearby white house and turned it into the Design House, which is open the first weekend of every month. This past weekend was their Holiday Open House event.

I have so many things from furniture to accessories to Christmas ornaments that I have purchased over the years, some from that very first year, from the many vender's who occupy space here. This includes the Beekeeper's Cottage that sits in an old yellow house between these two buildings. If you are ever in the area, make a point to stop in the tiny town of Lucketts, especially if you love junking or thrifting, I can almost guarantee you will find something unique or interesting at a great price!

Later this week I'll show you what I purchased and a few more pictures of their amazing wares and holiday displays!
