Miss Mustard Seed is in the House...

...Shades Of Amber House!

We are absolutely thrilled Marian came to visit and teach us how it's done.


 Marian gives expert advise during her Milk Paint Workshop .


Have you ever wondered if Marian mixes her paint by hand or uses a mixer?


The burning question is answered, By Hand!

She typically does not let it sit, she gets right to the task at hand and starts painting!


Marian shows us how she takes off the loose paint.





Up close, the aged look we want. 



She is so well prepared & organized with great visuals of the pieces she has completed. 


Once class was over Marian signed her books and visited with those that attended class.

If you are in the area, please stop by for a book signing this evening from 
5-7pm.  We'd love to see you and Marian would too!  

Looking forward to another full day tomorrow of Marian's talents.

  2. Amber & Brad, thank you for a wonderful day today! I have been a huge fan of Marian's blog for years (aren't we all), so it was really exciting to be able to attend her workshops and see her in person. She is truly delightful and such an inspiration. I was supposed to come home and put up the Christmas tree this afternoon, but instead I got busy trying out some of my new milk paint! Thanks again - we are lucky to have you here in little ol' Monument :)
