Hi Everyone, sorry it has been a long time since my last post. I spent ten days in the UK, I went to Oxford and met Annie Sloan herself, she has a wonderful shop full of exciting things, if you get the chance pop in, its full of ideas and interesting things to buy. I  collected my Annie Sloan paint order on the way back from Claire in Normandy, another fab place if your ever near Mont Dol.  It was so nice to put a face to all the names. 

Now I have all the colours in stock along with the wax dark and clear, some of Annie's books in French and English. I also have a number of tester pots available for those small paint jobs that don't require a litre tin.

Hear as promised some more stock, better late than never.

a nice pair of Louis Blue bedside cabinets SOLD

A nice old pine cupboard two doors one top and one bottom with a drawer in the middle. SOLD

A very nice Comtoise clock in full working order, it has been cleaned and set up. 350.00 Euros.

A very sweet Bench made from reclaimed polish Pine, SOLD
 
A nice solid table for those Christmas guests could seat about eight people 165.00 Euros

A beautiful painted Henri Deux Buffet painted in Paris Grey and distressed SOLD

A very warm weekend to all, until next time, Regards Sue
