This Saturday and Sunday, tiny Lucketts, Va., seven miles north of Leesburg on Route 15, will be the site of a giant antiques flea market. For the third time in as many years, more than 100 dealers will fan out through the 1870 community center, beneath yellow and white striped tents pitched in surrounding fields, and inside the village's three antiques shops, to sell what organizers Suzanne Eblen and Amy O'Keefe describe as "bountiful cool stuff at great prices."
Eblen, the owner of the Old Lucketts Store, and O'Keefe, its staff designer, have gathered vendors from as far as Columbia, S.C., and Pittsburgh, including several from the Eastern Shore. If what we recently spotted in their sprawling green and pink emporium is a barometer of what to expect at the Spring Antique Market, look for affordable shabby chic galore: a painted double Victorian bed was $145; a whitewashed cottage armoire was $298; large garden urns started at $98. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission: $5. For information and directions: 703-779-0268 or www.luckettstore.com.
