"Creativity blooms in the warmth of summer - in long light-filled days, gathered moments, and the joy of making"
Summer Projects
It's almost summer, the temperature is getting warmer and we are loving the outdoor time and the later sunsets. Do you have some areas you would like to spruce up outside? Did you know that Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is outdoor friendly? It's perfect for adding color to your garden and outdoor spaces.
We are adding two workshops using Annie Sloan paint that will be perfect for you to gain knowledge on using paint to add interest to your garden and patios!
The first is Chalk Paint 101 which covers all the basics, plus some advanced techniques using Annie's paint.
Next we have a class using the Iron Orchid Designs stamps to transform a plain terracotta pot into a faux "Flow Blue" designed beauty.
You can follow the links below to sign up!
Check out our calendar below for two local garden tours that benefit local charities and can provide inspiration for your own garden renovations.
Speaking of garden outdoor spaces, we have some absolutely gorgeous pots to elevate your design. From beautiful moss aged planters to chinoiserie style pots, you will find the perfect piece that matches your style.
And don't forget on this eve of our 250th anniversary, to check out our Patriotic collection.
Hope to see you soon!
XO,
Nancy
