WHAT'S NEW

 

Burgundy, a scrumptious cranberry red, has arrived in both quart and sample sizes. This is the latest color of Chalk Paint (R) Decorative Paint by Annie Sloan. A great autumn type color arrives just in time to go with fall decor.

Lemon scent Scrubby soap! We have carried orange and now we have lemon too! Great for cleaning brushes as it is infused through a plastic sponge that helps scrub off crusty paint. Great degreaser to also use at your kitchen sink.

Christmas cards, labels and mini bags are here! Humorous or heartfelt, the Shannon Martin line does it again. We have lots of stocking stuffers, too,in small sizes of lip balm and body butter.

Tip of the Month

Suddenly I am into layering colors. I also like the hint of an underlying wood. Check out one of my September blogs on layering colors with a sponge, then sanding to give a blended look. Sorry this is short this month, but I accidentally destroyed my computer and am waiting on a new one.
