Antiquing Tour: Lucketts and Leesburg
About this Event
Whether you go antiquing often but are looking to change it up and meet new people, are curious but carless in DC, or are somewhere in the middle, this is for you.
We’ll take a private bus from DC to Lucketts, where we’ll stop at four antique malls. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to wander around and find your next favorite piece of vintage art, an antique trinket or two, and unique furniture.
After shopping, we’ll head to downtown Leesburg, where we’ll enjoy a locally catered lunch and you’ll have time to explore even more shops and spots before the bus takes us back home.
Note: This day is especially for you if you’re interested in repurposing your vintage finds into something new and/or crafty.
Learn how to turn antique glassware into a candle, fabric and old doilies into beautiful garlands, or find a creative use for something else! Meadow Creative Retreats founder Mia is also a local artist who repurposes vintage in her stained glass art (@strangergoodsdc), business, and home. She’ll give everyone tips on what to look for and a gift bag with some basics for transforming your treasures.
