Hey sweetness!, I’m early this week, but I have important news to share! First of all, let me whine for a bit! It’s only Monday, as I begin this post. I’ve spent at least three hours, trying to get two software programs to talk nice to each other. That means waiting for “customer support”. I am not a technical type of person and this makes my hair catch on fire. Smokes coming out of my ears, too! I’m a hot mess! I need a day off. Oh wait, this was my day off! I did go on a lovely kayak ride…

Good evening, darlings!, While we were walking Micah, the shop manager, tonight, I told Mr. Wonderful that I was going to write a blog post, when we got home.

I’m the lucky one, for sure!) For starters, let’s talk about Fusion Mineral Paint. Nothing new, right? Well, I am hoping to inspire you with the work of two novice furniture…

Yes, I told you that we are teaching the Embellished Terra Cotta Pot class this Saturday, when we are actually hosting the French Flower Pot class! Thank you Jill, for letting me know!

Hello again! Has another week already passed? Whoa, Nellie! Let’s slow this train down! You hear me!? Last Saturday, we hosted our Paint Your Own Piece class. What a lovely, fun group of women! We’ve been round and round about wearing, or not wearing masks, at the shop. We’re back to sporting masks, in an effort to make everyone feel safe…including our very own shop sisters. Tregae and Jill were looking quite beautiful, in their masks, last Saturday! Coming up this Saturday, is our Embellished Pot Class. We have four spots left and I’d love to have you join us. This…
