Hello, Princess! Jill and I enjoyed Liza and her friend, as they created their own, totally unique yard art, this evening. I have more flower making kits, so stand by for more dates! Monica has shown me some new chemical-free tricks, I’ve incorporated into my laundry and housekeeping arsenal. I just know that there’s some connection, between the things we use to clean our homes, laundry and bodies, that is causing the sickness we see around us. Stop by Saturday at 11 a.m., to learn more if you can. Yes, there’s still room to join Saturday’s Paint Your Own Piece…

Hello good people!, Well, we wished for sunshine and warm weather and lookey here! We got it! Still, I’ll still take hot and sunny, over grey and drippy! What are your Mother’s Day plans? Do your kids roll out the red carpet for you? Rub your shoulders, refill your glass? Bring you appetizers, prepare dinner and wash the dishes? No? Nothing happening here, either. To be fair, they live thousands of miles away. I’ll report next week on who sent a card and who didn’t! Now, where was I? Upcoming Classes… We have a very busy class calendar this week…

Hello good people! Lots of good things are happening in the shop! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if everyone had a paint brush in their hand, we’d have world peace! Do you think I’ve possibly over simplified the situation? Well, anyway, here’s a quick recap… Friend and accomplished artist, Jean Lamoure, had her hands full, Friday night, for the Paint & Sip class. Thirteen (yes, that’s 13) women had a very good time, re-creating Jean’s masterpiece. We’re hoping we can talk her into another class, before long! I got a chance to visit her home studio…

The crowds are cheering! I can barely hear myself think! After repeated requests, we’ve expanded our General Finishes line, to now include their top Milk Paint colors! It’s not really a Milk Paint, but an acrylic paint. Apparently, the product has been around for years; well before the resurgence of real Milk Paint. The pros: You achieve a beautiful, smooth, hard finish, without (almost) brush strokes. The only negative is that it takes longer to dry, than our Amy Howard One Step chalk base paint, which we’ll continue to stock. Hours, vs. minutes. Next time you have a painting project,…

What are you doing this Saturday? Spending at least part of it with us, I hope! I’ve had so much fun, fluffing our nest! I hope you’ll be able to stop by and celebrate with us! After 4 years, it was time. Time to paint (walls, that is), add some much needed new lighting, (thank you Mr. Wonderful!!), and do things that had been on our “to-do” list for a long time. We hit the re-start button and it feels good. This is one of four drop leaf tables in the shop, right now. I think we are the drop…

Hello friend! Can we talk? I’m working from home today. Updating the blog, planning a new class, ordering product. The usual. I need to step away from the shop, from time to time, just to focus on the task at hand. Know what I mean? I know the shop is in good hands. Tregae and dear Jill have everything under control. You will be well cared for. If we’ve gotten to know one another at all, you know how much the shop means to me. You know how I want it to be a wonderful experience for you. Here’s where…
