The Rock Star of Paint -- Annie Sloan -- has landed!

Don't miss out on meeting and learning from the Rock Star of Chalk Paint, Annie Sloan, British fine arts trained decorator and inventor of Chalk Paint!


There are still places and time to sign up for the Saturday March 24 workshop in Oak Brook, Il! This is a terrific girlfriend outing -- junking to and from the event -- then learning how to apply paint to get the results you want from all your trashy finds! Or beautiful furniture too!

Me? I'm headed out of town to join up with Annie and other retailers around North America for our annual convention. We will be learning about room fragrances and fabrics from the Annie Sloan line scheduled to arrive later this year. Then I will have a whole day of advanced training with Annie herself....yep, that's me -- happy to be playing in the paint...

Then once I get back, I turn around and leave in a couple days for Oak Brook, where I will lead one of the break out sessions at the workshop.Wow!

Meantime, no shipping during dates I am gone -- March 9-18 and March 22-25! Sorry, but there is a supply available 12 hours daily at the Brass Armadillo in Des Moines. Whew! What a schedule. Plus look at what my signage will look like at the new shop once it is approved by the landlords! Like it?



More soon -- from the road to New Orleans! First stop, Memphis Tennessee! Hello, Graceland!
