Love for Luckett's

A couple of weeks ago, I had a couple hours to spare, so I decided to drive to the top of my county (about 30 miles) to Old Luckett's Store in Leesburg. Miss Mustard Seed is how I found out about this wonderful place since she sells some of her fabulous furniture there. The trip was easy - just a straight shot up Hwy. 15 til you hit the village of Lucketts. What a pretty drive through rolling hills of wineries, stables, and farms. I cannot believe all of this is just outside Washington D.C. and the northern Virginia hassle hussle of traffic and millions of people!

When I pulled into the parking lot, I knew I was in for the time of my life. There were great little finds EVERYWHERE- in the parking lot, on the porch, everywhere you looked there was STUFF. I didn't have nearly enough time to see everything. Plus there are a few other stores nearby that I want to check out. Just have to find another time when I have no children with me because every single nook and cranny is filled with breakables and other lovely things. Hmmm... Vacation Bible School IS next week, you know... now that's an idea!

Recognize this feed sack chair from Miss Mustard Seed?

Speaking of old feed sacks... they are SO popular right now. I saw them made into all kinds of things - chairs, pillows, curtains, and even footstools.

Another beauty from Mrs. Mustard Seed. I found out that even though her photos look great on her blog and on other blogs, they don't do them justice at all. The Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Clear Wax really does give the pieces such richness and depth. Too bad I only had my cell phone's camera with me, though, because I've destroyed this beauty with such a terrible photo!

I stood in this room just staring at the beautiful ceiling treatment. It was so pretty in person- just layers of fabric used like bunting - reminded me of a bustled wedding gown. So neat and the furniture in there was beautiful, too.

I had about 3 minutes to look in Beekeeper's Cottage, the shop next door to Luckett's, and thought this room was so pretty with its ivories, pinks, and blues. Look at the mosaic wall in the back, too.

Have you been lucky enough to visit Luckett's yet? Or is there another shop like this in your hometown? Please do tell!
