RUMOR HAS IT!
London’s Daily Mail
has reported that three mini pots of feminine color Annie Sloan paint was
delivered to the residence of Prince William and Duchess Kate! This has fueled
speculation that Antoinette, Emile and Henrietta may be chosen for a the new
Royal’s nursery – all wonderful Chalk Paint® colors! Annie Sloan has said that her shop
would not make a comment about the rumor – but it is lovely publicity! We have
plenty in stock in case all of a sudden demand rises even higher for these
great colors!
Colors - Fit for a Princess!
Antoinette -- a soft pink
Henrietta -- a tangy lilac
Emile -- a wonderful lavender

Timely Tips
Using Glazes – Glazes are not included in Annie Sloan
product lines. But many customers want to darken Graphite to a deeper black.
This can be achieved by creating a glaze-like substance of the dark wax, by
adding mineral spirits til it is a gel consistency. If you use this after a
clear wax coat, you will find it goes on easier and has more work time for the
wipe off to get a consistent appearance. If you choose to use one of the Wood
Icing glazes instead, do not wax. But do put down a slip coat of Artisan
Enhancements Clear Topcoat Sealer before using the glaze for a more consistent
look!
