Reserve your booth today!!

After a very successful weekend at Miss Lucille's Vendor Preview we are happy to announce that booth spaces are filling up quickly!  If you were not able to attend the preview we are going to take this opportunity to show you what you missed:




The front of Miss Lucille's is currently a normal warehouse but in just a few short weeks it will be transformed into a vintage front porch.  Miss Lucille's will a warm and welcoming entrance with a wooden overhanging roof.  This is a blue print of what we envision! 



Right when you walk in the door you will find our vintage buggy as a warm and welcoming focal point!









Miss Lucille's will occupy 35,000 sq feet of vendor booth space and we want YOU to be apart of it!!  This is a view of the space we will be building out in the next few weeks.






Depending on how much "stuff" you have you can get a 10X10 booth OR a 10X20 booth, you just let us know and we will build it for you!  Here are a few booths that have already been built.



Wondering how you can fill your booth or how to display it??  Well, during the the Vendor Preview we had a few example booths of what we are looking for.  



Example booths for a:

Left: 10X10    
                             
Right: 10X20



Here is a closer look at what you could find in a booth:




A unique way to use space, you find here a chest filled with mason jars and other dishes.  To use vertical space we stacked some crates that are holding other items for sale.  Lastly, take note of the antique trumpet that was made into a light! 





This is a great display of how to stack and showcase multiple items without getting a cluttered look.  


 






Wondering if clothing is accepted?  We do accept vintage clothing that is displayed in a unique way much like this dress here!  





As you can see there are many options for what your booth could showcase!!  We want you to have fun and be creative with your items and be very successful!! 

If you are interested in having a booth, please contact us at:

We want to ensure you get the booth space you desire so call and reserve your place today; spaces are going quickly!!

Interests from Pinterest #1: Trash to Treasure

    What was once considered "Trash" is being made into "Treasure"! Today we picked four pieces that some people might consider old, broken, tarnished or trash. By making some simple changes and thinking outside of the box these pieces are back and better than ever! 


    Inspired by crafty Pinterest photos and innovative ideas, this weeks "Interest from Pinterest" shows you how to reuse and recycle some of that "junk" around the house. After all...




Interesting from Pinterest #1: Trash to Treasure

  1. Large Vintage Chippy Yellow Galvanized Tub: 


         We love this idea!  Taking an old metal galvanized tub and putting it to use.  You can paint it any color you wish to match other furniture or wall colors.  This tub can be used for magazines, toilet paper, kids shoes or even as a cooler at a barbecue.  However you choose to use it, this tub is not for the trash but is a true treasure!

   2.  Window Shutter Mail Holder:
            
           Want to organize all that paper??  We have a solution: take any old window shutter, paint it the color of your choice, hang it on a wall and bam!,  you have yourself a mail, card or letter holder!!

   3.  Roller Skate Wall Decoration:
    
           Have an old pair of roller skates sitting around?  Don't let them sit around any longer!!  Try using them as a all decoration in a play room or kids room!

4.  Cheese Grater Pencil Holder:

          Need a place to store pencils, pens or markers?  Here is an easy fix!!  Find an old cheese grater and upscale it to a pencil holder!

Let there be light!


The studs are up, the lights are hung, and the sheet board is being installed as we speak!!!  By the end of this week Miss Lucille's will have its first wall!!  Here are some pictures of this exciting news:


These are the studs that will separate Miss Lucille’s from the rest of the warehouse enclosing 37,000sq feet of space for vendors and customers to enjoy.







A few weeks ago we posted a before picture of the lights, which may not look any different than this one; but to us these lights are a huge stride in the right direction! Our handy warehouse men have been hard at work taking down the old lights to hang these beauties and now we can say, “Let there be light!”






Just like that, Miss Lucille's went from an empty space to half a wall and full of light!  We can only imagine what Miss Lucille's will look like when all said and done.  However, we are still about 7 weeks away from that point; so in the meantime stay tuned for more pictures as we continue to take you for a virtual tour! 

On another note, we have sent out the Vendor Preview letters;  if you did not receive the preview invite in the mail...don't fret!  Here is your virtual invitation:


We hope to see you there!!! 

If you would like to have a booth and be apart of Miss Lucille's please e-mail us at info@misslucillesmarketplace.com or call 931.896.1700.

Let the journey begin!!

After three, what seem to be short weeks of work, Miss Lucille's is making progress!  There has been a lot of  researching, deliberating,  and decision making taking place.  If you thought it was easy to start a business..think again!!  We want to make sure every detail is thought of.  We want to make sure all bases are covered.  Most of all, we want to be sure YOU are getting the very best!  From hours to the store layout, advertising to networking, and vendors to items we want to ensure that our Miss Lucille's family is excited for our grand opening!!  


UPDATE!
The materials are in and construction on Miss Lucille's will begin (we hope) on Monday!!!  We couldn't be more thrilled!  Once construction is underway "Miss Lucille's girls" will be hard a work finding people to fill the booth spaces!  If you are interested please do not hesitate to contact us!!
