Feeling thankful…

We have a the latest issue of this wonderful magazine, in stock.  If you love beautiful French design and photography, you will love this publication!  A great gift for you or a friend, $14.95.

The dollar store sunglasses served two purposes. One, to just be silly and secondly, to cover a black eye.  I was out, walking in the rain last Monday night, when I did a “face plant”.  Taking baby aspirin has amplified the bruising and has spread significantly, this past week.  Half of my face is now an unflattering shade of yellow. Then there’s purple…deep blue…

Vanity aside, it could have been so much worse.  Nothing was broken and I feel fine.  I just wanted to give you a “heads up”, should we run into each other at the shop!

Last Friday…

Three local businesses hosted a client appreciation event/workshop for 20 and it was a great success!  The hosts brought food and wine and we did the rest!

A happy ending…

Carol Kinsel is a lovely woman, who for years has assisted seniors find new homes, when living alone is no longer an option.  Now, in her free time, she’s painting furniture, with Fusion Mineral Paint, of course!

It all started when she inherited her mother’s French Provençal chest of drawers.  She didn’t want to get rid of it, because of of its sentimental value and because it’s a well-made piece of furniture.

Having never painted furniture before, she scheduled a private class, painting one of the drawer fronts.  Now she’s on a roll!

Carol painted this piece in Fusion’s Putty color and it turned out beautifully!

But why stop there?!

She’s on a roll!  She says that with each project, her confidence is growing.  What will she paint next?
