Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint

On Christmas morning I was notified that I won a basketful of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, waxes & a brush {a very cute brush I might add!} from French Hen Farm via Di Lucca Designs. Thank you! Thank you!

I entered the contest knowing very little about this paint. I thought it was simply "chalkboard paint" in different colors. The paint is that, BUT after researching it and getting a friend's input, this paint is so much more. Where in the world was this paint in May of 2010? I was painting away and the latex stuff just peeled off. I tucked my paint brush away I was done with painting furniture.

Then I found Miss Mustard Seed, just a month or so ago. This particular post about Annie Sloan Chalk paint sold me and I have yet to open the can! If she can paint 5 pieces of furniture with this miracle paint, in two days--- I can at least paint one piece today! *NOTE: I PAINTED A PIECE TODAY & LOVE IT! Of course it's a petite little table and it's almost dry and I'm chompin' at the bit to sand it! :)

We went out to eat with our 3 kids Saturday night to a not-so-kid-friendly place. The restaurant, Amici's, was yummy, but recent press sent this wee little place into a zoo and the waitress had to serve all the tables by herself. "Whew", for us & "whew" for her!

Miss Vivi decided to go say" hello" to a patron and lo & behold, I knew her. She owns the shop Alley Cat Chic and mentioned to me she now carries the paint! Well, how convenient for us, we are close to Kettering, Ohio.

I might add that Annie Sloan has finished more of her website and all the new info is great. They have a page of all the stockists, and lots of areas in the U.S. are represented.

Have a happy week!
