I shared when I posted FFF this week that I made a couple of big purchases on Thursday, so I thought I would show them off. Here’s one… See that big hardware counter with all of the metal...
Remember Wuslu? Well, they are now Decor Steals! They sell one daily steal a day just like they did with WUSLU, but they have also added a new feature where they give second chances on deals that are...
Oh goodness. This has been an exciting week. I got the digital copy of my book last night, which was amazing. Looking through it made me giggle. I was a little teary eyed. I think the full-out crying...

I wrote an entire post and then I posted it and the content vanished. Argh!! So, take two. This weekend has been pretty low key and uneventful. I have some Christmas freelance projects due this week,...
…and what have you done with my husband? That was my thought when my husband called me at 7:30 am this morning. (He is preaching this Sunday, so he went to the church super early to practice.) ...
I received some amazing e-mails a couple of days ago in response to my “Overwhelmed” post. Women wanted to share their stories with me and while all of the stories are different, the idea...

I’ve tried to write a post about Lucketts and I keep staring at a blank page or I write something and then delete it. It was a very overwhelming weekend and I don’t even know how to write...
I’m still recovering from Lucketts. (Well, I guess I need to give myself a break. It just ended yesterday and I still need to de-Lucketts my house! Events have a way of taking over.) My parents...
I’m not sure what it was about Lucketts this year, but I am more tired than I have ever been after a fair. My voice has been raspy and squeaky for three days, my foot that I broke when I was a ...
Well, here it is…Lucketts Eve. I am about as nervous and excited as a kid before Christmas. I’ve been preparing and shopping for weeks and I’m now just over 12 hours away from the e...
Come on…what else could I name the yellow in my milk paint line? Yep. It’s “Mustard Seed” yellow. It’s sort of a warm honey, muted mustard color. I started out with a st...
Well, I am totally whipped. I have actually resorted to giving myself pep talks over the last couple of days. “Ok, Marian. Just paint this dresser. That’s all you need to do right now, th...
The “I’M SAD I CAN’T COME TO LUCKETTS THIS WEEKEND” Giveaway I am busy preparing for the Lucketts Antique Market and I know it’s driving some of you crazy that you can&#...

I’m in the phase of getting ready for Lucketts where I spend most of my day in the basement painting, stripping (furniture), sanding, waxing, distressing…you get the idea. I get to the en...
For those who don’t know, my business started as a decorative painting/mural business. About a year into it, I realized I didn’t want to paint stuff on everything. Sometimes I just wanted...
If you follow me on FaceBook, you might’ve seen two of the latest furniture pieces I was working on for the Lucketts Market. I’m ramping up to get as much done as I can, so I have lots of...
I wish getting ready for a fair just involved putting on a cute sundress and taking some cash out for ice cream, but I’m not talking about simply going to a fair. I’m talking about being ...
Man, I have been swamped!! I had no idea my big announcement would cause my inbox to be flooded! It’s all good, though, and very exciting. I was getting very stressed out at the scale of everyt...
