Oh Baby! booth has moved!

As I mentioned in a previous update, Busy Bee Antiques has moved out of ARTifacts to begin an all new venture – starting their own new store here in Downtown Clarksville, Fleur De Leis!  They hope to open by River’s & Spires – so stay tuned for more info about that. 

In the meantime – Oh Baby! has moved up to the front of the shop and now she is directly across from me!  The booth looks completely different – and like it is all new stuff.  It is so cool how that happens!  Here are a few quick photos for you to see what a different a small move can make!

Some of the pieces Oh Baby features include loads of vintage frames painted with Caromal Colour’s paints- made to last!  Many upcycled furniture pieces that once were at a second hand store ready or ready for the dump.  Kathy has completely revived them with a new coat of paint and her amazing amazing paint technique. She has all kinds of new signs that are fun too – and always has her Angel’s of Reclaim made up from pieces of vintage hardware, door hinges, jewelry bits, vintage fibers and more – these angels are wonderful gift ideas and each one is completely different from the last!

New Caromal Colors Classes

Hi all! I know many of you have heard about the classes we are offering in our studio space now, and many of you are asking when we will be offering more. Well, I am working on all kinds of ideas - so let me know what you want to learn and we will see about making it happen.

So far, we have only scheduled classes for Caromal Colors - but that is good because many of you have asked for this class. I have been, and let me tell you - I am so excited about getting to work on some projects! I can't wait! So here is what is scheduled so far for September. And please contact us early - because these classes have really started filling up fast. I might be able to get her to add more if the response we get is high!

Both of these classes are up in ARTifact's studio B space.

HAVE SOME WINE AND STENCIL A SIGN
September 10, 6:30-8:00 P.M.
Cost: $20.00
Limit of 5 participants

Two workshops in one! Make this sign your own by choosing type of signboard, color of paint, and stencil saying. You get to choose from “Live Simply…Laugh Often” or “Carpe Diem…Seize the wine” stencils for your project. This stenciled sign incorporates many of the Caromal Colours products in the preparation and you will see how simple they are to use. So those who have been waiting to see the paints, sign up because this is going to be a great workshop. I will provide the wine and all materials needed for the project. Come paint and create.


DISTRESSED FOR SUCCESS
September 20, 2:00-3:30 P.M.
Cost: $15.00
Limit of 7 participants

Discover how easy it is to use the Caromal Colours paints and distressing products. There is no sanding or priming required before painting your project, just a clean surface. We have 10 basic colors and they can be painted and left as is or they can be distressed, toned, and aged. So many looks and so beautiful!! We have great fun at the workshops comparing our painting techniques and color samples. No prior painting experience needed. Come and paint your own samples to take home and admire.

So much to tell you all!

There is so much going on right now I am hardly having time to blog - but let me get a few quick announcements out there so you don't miss out on anything!

First - Photoshop Element classes - Level One is tomorrow starting at 11am. We have room for 1 more student. Don't you want that seat? Call me ASAP! 931.249.0454 to reserve it!


Second, is the new schedule of classes from Kathy Owen for Caromal Colours. I have now attended both of these classes, and you all should take time to check these out. I am going to save thousands by painting my cabinets instead of replacing them - and I love what I am planning so much more then ANY of those cabinets out there. And you can paint ANYTHING with this product - not just cabinets.

Finally, we have added a new idea to ARTifacts, that has opened up a new opportunity to 12 new local artists to share their wares with you. I will share photos in the coming days, but you have got to come see for yourself the exciting new additions to ARTifacts!


Cheers!
