March Craft Night

goodies, and our original LUCKY DAY topper atop a coconut cake

What a great night! Thank you to all of our crafters for being a part of our very first Lucky Day Craft-Nite. We hope you will join us again. We had so many incredible toppers leave here last Tuesday evening, we were sad to see them go!! 


This was such a fun and simple project, and a great way to re purpose vintage figurines. Occupied Japan porcelain or ceramic figurines can be found by the dozen at yard sales and flea markets. From time to time we will buy one if it's endearing enough, and after time they began to accumulate on our shelves. Until Haylie came up with this craft, we didn't know what to do with them. Now they have a new, fun purpose. A birthday cake, a baby shower, holidays- these toppers make an excellent gift for a special occasion and even better- they can be reused as a token of tradition if you slip a piece of wax paper underneathe to protect it from the frosting of a cake.


We tried getting pictures of all 11 toppers, but it seems we missed a few- if you have pics, please share with us @ luckydayemporium@gmail.com

This Cool Weaving Thing...

I purchased this two-piece set yesterday without knowing exactly what it was... As a former student of textile design and weaving 101, I did know two things: that it was some sort of a shuttle with it's track and I was pretty certain that it was meant for weaving something rather small (since it's track is about 6 inches long). With this info & a little help from Google, I was rather pleased to discover that this here was a shuttle & track used to weave clothing labels! It is marked R. G. Pratt Worcester, Massachusetts and it retails here at Lucky Day for $20. I can't wait for this little guy to make someone-else's day!! 

Be sure to stop in and check out the rest of our latest finds! There are SO many more.

Steamer Trunk China Closet

A grand idea for big city/ small apt. living (if I was still living in my tiny Brooklyn aptartment, I would have just the place for this)! This old steamer trunk traveled all the way from Maine to Florida this Fall, to be presented at Lucky Day Emporium. The interior paper-lining boasts a beautiful blue and gold fleur de lis pattern. The trunk has all 4 original drawers and a one wooden hanger. Handles and locks are all intact.

Giddy For Spring...

I know it seems early to be thinking of Spring, but if you are a Floridian then you may know that Spring happens a little sooner for us than it does for the rest of the country. So, I think it's best that we are prepared for the green days lurking around the corner! Over the next several weeks, Lucky Day Emporium will slowly but surely be welcoming SPRING 2011. 


Go here to read about the flower frog project that Haylie, Lucky Day shop-girl, has contributed to Design*Sponge's DIY section this month... as you can see above- a variety of flower frogs can be found here @ Lucky Day to fill the empty spaces on your walls!
