This post is going to be a mix....not a mix of colors but a mix of "stuff"

It has been a very exciting week.....5 new Mini-Stockists throughout Southern California came on board so we now have 7. They are all ready, willing and able to supply you with our beautiful Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Products as well as teach you many techniques and applications through inspiring workshops.

I welcome all these talented and  vivacious women....what a team we have working together to give you the best customer service and representation for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

I am leaving tomorrow for the N.W.  on Monday morning to participate in  The Retreat Vintage Market on Camano Island.  It is going to be so much fun demoing the paint along  with The Bella Bungalow, Kellyanne and Kim from Arlington.  All I can say is, "look out Pacific N.W.,
you have never experienced paint flying like you will on June 25th.  Our booth is right across from The Barn House Boys....can't wait til we surprise them a little "paint magic".

I will return here on the 4th of July and then a month of Workshops begin....be sure to check my website, that is being updated while I am away, for a workshop nearest you.

On July 27th the first of four California's Paint 'n' Wine Annie Sloan Workshops will be kicked off in Sonoma, Ca. at the beautiful Sonoma Antiques and European Furniture.

Just a fraction of what this beautiful shop sells

could it be Antibes?

how about Duck Egg Blue?

Join Vicki and myself, Northern  and Southern California Stockists for a very special event, and learn 3 furniture techniques using the LATEST and GREATEST in paints plus  Play With Product in the afternoon on your own small project piece you have brought from home.
The cost of the workshop is $175.00
Call and reserve your spot today, space is limited.

I could go on about more planned events including the UK Flea Market trip and the Caribbean Cruise planned for September and January, but I'm going to feature them later and sign off for tonight paying tribute to Father's Day tomorrow.

My Dad has been gone for 39 years and I miss him every day of my life. He gave me my sense of humor, my love for music and the appreciation of simple things in life, like the skipping of rocks on the water, to the beauty of the dandelion as he whistled on it's stem between his thumbs to the quiet of the morning, which I still call my "morning watch".

Until I return from the N.W., let the paint fly and your eyes open.
