Annie Sloanin' Our Yard Sale Finds!

Another blog post - no way!  I don't think I have typed this much since I was finishing up my thesis back in 2003 - just kidding! After Gary kicked our butts at the gym this morning, Krysten and I headed home to set up for our Annie Sloan paintin' party!

Kathy and Becky (sisters) came on over with their "treasures."

I continued working on my treasure too!

After a brief explanation of procedure, we got to work applying our first coat of paint.

Then we dined on delicious chicken salad (Anderson's Garden Center's recipe) croissants , chips, and trail mix.  We may or may not have had brownies a little while after finishing our lunch - they were made with coconut oil, and we HAD to keep our endurance and energy up - we worked hard!  Then we got back to work - look what our treasures looked like after just four hours of work (as well as waiting for paint to dry and eating, of course):

Kathy and Becky,  thank you so much for coming to our first Annie Sloan Paint Party!  We hope that you learned a little bit about how to work with the Annie Sloan paint.  We can't wait to see what else you refinish using this very friendly paint!
