Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan, Our First Class Sign Ups

Hello Everyone!

The time has come to announce our first few

Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan

classes!

Because you may not know the history behind

Grandiflora

carrying this awesome product,

we though we'd let you in on the behind the scenes story:

Grandiflora has had

Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan

on it's shelves since last September 2011.

What you probably didn't know is that we rented this space out to a

mini stockist named Chris K.

As the year went by this awesome paint product simply

went outta control bonkers

here at the shop!

What a shocker to all of us who were overwhelmed by the response we saw.

Chris has since decided to hand the baton over to us as stockists for this awesome paint.

We are happy to announce that as of

September 1st, 2012

Grandiflora is now the actual stockist in Lynden for

Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan!

Whoo - hoo!

A HUGE thank-you to Chris for finding and sourcing this great product for us.

We are so blessed to have it on our shelves.

If you are not familiar with this paint,

YOU SHOULD BE!

We love it!!!

SO,

that being said...

we have sent our very own

Kim

(our treasured shop manager)

to the

Train the Trainer

course in Spokane, WA

Kim is now certified as an official

Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan, Instructor!

Yay Kim!

Congrats to you!!



We think you will all agree that Kim was the perfect choice for this position.

Some of you may have met Kim at the shop before, & know how on top of things she is.

 Now she will use her gifts and talents to also teach classes on the paint techniques.

So without further ado, here's our first class date! 

Tuesday October 16th at 9:15 AM

Kim will be holding this first class on a single technique

called: two color distressed.

It is the most popular technique used by Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan customers.

Each student will learn the basics of surface prep and care for their painted surface,

 along with this ever popular technique.

The class includes light refreshments,
 a generous coupon towards the purchase of a sample paint pot, and of course the technique itself.

Each class holds 6 students.

Class Fee is $35.00
(Not suitable for children, class fees are not refundable or transferable.)

Class update: our October 16th class is now full.

However,

 please feel free to attend our demo day

(below)

to find out more!

Kim will also be demonstrating the Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan at various times through out the day on

Thursday October 18th

where you can see the paint in motion, and get a glimpse of our future class schedule.

(Demonstrations are free of charge, however classes are recommended for in-depth questions.)

Grandiflora will be open special hours that day from 11AM to 8PM

in conjunction with the

Lynden Craft and Antique Show

at the

Northwest Washington Fairgrounds

...............

Would you like to see a little sampling of our practice class???
We had a lot of fun the other night being Kim's guinea pigs
(we prefer guinea pigs to lab rats!)
LOL!

 What a fun night it was!
We think you'll agree that this is the most fun you can have with paint!
Get on in here soon to see just what this paint can do for you!
...............

In closing we would like to say how happy we are to have this lovely product under our roof.

Not only is it a wonderful product to sell, it is unbelievably fantastic to work with.

We all stand firmly behind the product and have used it ourselves in our own homes.

Who wouldn't like being able to paint just about anything with a self priming paint in a lovely color?!

Here's to

Annie Sloan

&

her fabulous

Chalk Paint!

Cheers!!
