Some things just take time to bloom...

So this PRETTY PRETTY took some time to come around to her full glory!!

This dresser is part of my first "expensive" furniture set that I bought once I had started working fulltime.  It was a blonde wood set that I figured would last me a long time... .it has been about 30years!!... The "before" picture was probably taken two phones ago.. lol... at that time I had painted it in my absolute fav colour #AnnieSloanChalkPaint #duckeggblue.  I also was on Pinterest looking at all kinds of inspirations to 'finish the piece"... i did not even clear wax yet....

About a year later, I added the #chicmouldings.com beautiful roses... painted those white first.. then months later.. blue... then I painted the top drawer old white.... .. still no wax yet...  more pinterest searches...

then last week I went to get some more chalk paint at B/A Vintage Stockist in Whitby and saw the beautiful #PrimaMarketingTransfers in the shop... I knew right then and there that this was the icing on the cake....

so TADA...
finally completed... 3 years later... classics take time...
clear waxed and some dark wax as well to give it the old world feel...

I just love it....

Yes ANNIE SLOAN herself was asking about one of my pieces!!!!
Shocked!
Excited!
Disbelief!
all went thru my mind....

just when I thought I was going to give up on my creativity... along came Annie....
so many other angels along the way as well...

thank you God, I heard you.... I will continue to share my God-given Gifts...

so Blessed,

It has been an interesting year...
Just when I thought I had no ideas left a new bubble pops up & new creations come up!!

***I had some great news last month.  My Princess Bookcase (white/pink) was chosen by the ANNIE SLOAN herself to be highlighted on the Annie Sloan Canada FB page!.. and Yes Annie herself wrote me and asked for details... I was beyond thrilled....

Also, I have a couple of new shops that are carrying my unique handpainted giftware:

1. The Purple Door, Craft and Christmas Store in Kirkfield, ON
2. Kawartha Pizza & Bakery, Victoria Square, Glenarm Road (between Beaverton & Fenelon Falls)
3. Diana's Gift Store, Mary St, Fenelon Falls

& another one to be announced soon....

Here are a few of the items I have been working on.... 

Enjoy,
diane

Introducing ... Josie's Joys Again!!

Well, it has been awhile!!..

I was busy loving the water and outdoor weather this past summer at my new home. It has been awhile since I painted and finally brought out my paints this past year.  

I am going to be moving more into the furniture painting area next year, 2017.  I am excited about it and after finishing pieces in my own home and I ready to take on items to sell again!!.

You can also FOLLOW ME on FACEBOOK at:
Josie's Joys HandPainted Giftware

​
Please also support fellow artists with THE ARTISANS MARKET LOGO (as seen above) when buying painted furniture online.  TAM is a group of painters that take pride in their craft and offer up pieces that are a fair price in the market place.  It takes more to painting furniture then just slapping on a can of chalk paint.  

Here is the TAM site that I sell my pieces on:
The Artisan Markets 

Keep on Dreamin Big!!
cheers
