Can’t believe the Lucketts Spring Market is this weekend!  I originally had reserved the 10′ rental truck but after seeing it, decided it was too small.  So, we upped it to the larger truck and brought it home last night.  My husband and neighbor’s son loaded it up and it was completely full.  We made the right decision of truck size!  This morning we struck out for Lucketts and when we arrived, it was raining.  My husband took one look at the little space marked out for me and the giant truck and thought I was nuts to have brought so many items!  Well, we piled it all on the tarp, put the tent up, secured it with rope and hopefully it will hold overnight!  The grounds are already starting to look amazing with all of the dealers setting up their beautiful spaces.

I’m off again in the morning to hopefully sort my tarp mountain all out.  I am also bringing out the many smalls that have accumulated in our foyer, like this beautiful vintage chandelier and burlap pillows.  This is such a learning curve.  I realize that I should have just unloaded it all tomorrow and kept the truck out there in the parking lot until Sunday and paid the few days rent on it.  Now, I am super nervous that if the big pieces don’t sell, we will have to rent a truck again and go pick it all up.

So, lesson one learned!  I’m sure there are many, many more to come.  Like, oh, my tent doesn’t have walls to prop things up against – duh!
