Lynden Craft & Antique Show - Spring, 2012

March brought another FIRST for me!  I was a part of the Lynden Craft and Antique Show on March 15-17, 2012.  My Fleur-De-Lis Design booth showcased furniture and accessories  - most all painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint products, and also allowed customers to purchase all of the Annie Sloan products.
Fleur-De-Lis Design/Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Booth

Our paint "demo" area


Some of the gorgeous colors in Annie's palette!


Lots of great furniture and accessories done with ASCP!


Even the flooring was painted and stenciled in ASCP,
then finished in Annie's Lacquer - it held up great!


Could not have done this without "veteran show booth lady" Kim! 
Thanks, again, Kim!


Here I am painting a custom piece requested at the Show.
A beverage cart ... ordered in Napoleonic Blue....
It was a busy three days - educating people about the awesomeness of this product, and answering so many questions.  Hope you enjoyed these photos of our booth in case you could not be there....  and a big THANKS to all of you who made it out to say hi and see the ASCP products!  Also, my thanks to all of my family and friends who offered to help set up and take down the booth, as well as working it with me....   I could not have done it alone!

I am scheduling now for my March (just a couple) and April workshops. There were 4 pages of email signups for interest in my workshops at the show, and I have a limit of 4 people per class, so if you are interested, you might want to sign up as soon as possible - they will fill up fast, I am sure!    :)

Workshops Past and Future Ones Scheduled!

January was a great month for me ...  my ASCP workshop schedule started!  My first workshop was a "trial run" with family members, to get my timing and content down.  I am sharing a few photos from that workshop!

Chelsie with her handpainted color chart
and her neatly patterned hand wipe rag!
Everyone goes home with their own color chart
so you can pick which colors you just have to have!
Chris talking about the Annie Sloan products

Karla and Chelsie working on their sample boards

(looks like I only got photos of Karla and Chelsie ... ooops!)


We had a great time and learned a lot, too and at the end, we did a little project to take home.  The 2 1/2 hours quickly became 3 hours, so this workshop is now a 3 hour class!

Dolores, Chelsie, Chris, Karla and Cassie...  the perfect first class!

I had more classes in January, and took a few photos in those, as well, but I need to remember to stop what we are doing and snap a few more.  My other classes were a lot of fun, too - it's great meeting new people, seeing old friends, and watching everyone get excited about painting anything that doesn't move!

February classes are now available for any of you who want to join in the fun and learn more about Annie's great paint and products!  Here is a schedule of our classes, and notes how to sign up.

All of these workshops will be held at 501 Judson Alley in Lynden, WA.  My studio is located at the rear of the 501 Judson Alley building, and there is lots of parking there.  These workshops are hands-on ..... so, as Annie says... "leave your best cashmere and tiara at home!"   :)
