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!

I don’t know if you remember, but I was in your store right before Christmas to buy a vintage camera for my step-dad and I wanted to tell you that he loved it! It was the brownie Hawkeye. I made an index card to go with it that I tea stained and burned the edges.
Thank you so much for your help while we were in the store! We will be back soon! J
