The Pine Forest Antiques Show originated in the earliest days of the Tri-Lakes Women's Club. The club began selling small handmade items and holding home tours to raise funds for community support. These early efforts have grown into one of the club's major fundraisers.</div>

It was such an incredible treat to spend the entire week last week in New Orleans with the one and only Annie Sloan! She is the real deal, the creator of Chalk Paint® Words cannot express how inspiring she is and what a truly genuine person she is. I came home with pages and pages of notes full of new ideas, dreams, and ideas that I can't wait to get to work on and share with all of you!</div>

Annie challenged us to really focus in on our design style and really define who we are and why. With that said, we will be changing things up a bit around here, starting with our weekly link party. My head is literally spinning with new ideas, now the challenge becomes getting them out my head and into the store and onto the computer screen! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Don't you love this Union Jack color combination <a href="http://shadesofblueinteriors.blogspot.com/2013/02/union-jack-3-ways.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Shades Of Blue Interiors</a> painted with Chalk Paint®? I know I sure do! Inspired by Miss Mustard Seed's ottoman, a combination of Country Grey, Old white and Provence. Soft, subtle and magnificent! You won't want to miss the other dresser painted with the same colors reversed. Perhaps another take on Quiet Riot?</span></div>

Or should I say pulls the faux grain sack over our eyes? Those stripes are painted on, really. A lovely work of art, custom blended colors of French Linen and Pure White. Just a little Old White is added for some depth. The beautiful velvet gray damask on the back takes your breath away! French elegance recreated at it's finest. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Chalk Paint® is so easy to use! Once you do begin using this product you'll kick yourself for not trying it out sooner. It is the easiest way to change or update your furniture. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Whether you have an existing piece of furniture at home, inherited</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> an antique or found a curb-side "I'm Free" item that you've been wanting to paint but have been hesitant...it's time!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">No need for priming, sanding or stripping of your existing finish. Save some time and money and start painting, you'll get the coverage needed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The drying time of Chalk Paint® is quick. It's not necessary to have your furniture sitting for a days while the different layers and applications dry. The fast dry time allows for quick turn-around and you can be done the same day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Chalk Paint® costs $36.95 per quart. Being able to paint with no extra charges or time on stripping agents, primer or sanding is priceless. The paint covers more and uses less than traditional paints. We have many customers that paint multiple pieces start to finish and back in place in one afternoon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The average cost of Chalk Paint® is $10 in product per piece of furniture. What a great value! Chalk Paint® is extremely versatile and allows you the freedom to be creative and expressive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Using the proper tools of the trade is so important when painting with Chalk Paint®. It doesn't matter whether you are an expert with Chalk Paint® or just beginning. Knowing what and how to apply each product needed for your project is key!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you're preparing to paint a piece of furniture with Chalk Paint® for the first time and you're not quite sure how it works, here's a great tutorial about <i><a href="http://shadesofamberinc.blogspot.com/p/how-to-use-chalk-paint.html" target="_blank"><b>How To Use Chalk Paint®</b></a>.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">By far, we get the most questions about the waxing process. There is nothing difficult about it, it is just different than what most people are used to. Our tutorial above goes through the process, step by step in how to apply the paint and wax correctly. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I love our wax brushes made specifically for soft wax. The highest quality brushes in the industry by far, made from the finest Shanghai white bristle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It looks similar to your ordinary cheesecloth but it's not.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Rymplecloth is a purified, unbleached cloth made of 100% cotton woven fabric with a unique crimped and twisted weave. These natural yarns are more absorbent than traditional cheesecloth. This kind of absorbency allows for a smooth and even finish for waxed furniture. The unique crimped design provides more surface area for trapping, collecting and removing excess wax. The texture of the cloth ensures little waste of the product. Rymplecloth can also be used to buff the waxed finish. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Once we started using Rymplecloth, it made such a difference in the wax finish! Such a simple thing - whenever our customers have a wax issue and switch to this - the problem is always solved. We even have customers in the store buy it for other reasons as well - mixed media art, decorating, silverware, etc. Someone even made a gorgeous rose wreath out it, we love it!! </span></div>

Susan with <a href="http://suzyq-vintagous.blogspot.ca/2013/01/john-denver-anyone-pallet-art.html" target="_blank"><b>Simply Vintageous...by Suzan</b></a> added a quick dry brush of Pure White to a pallet and left some wood showing for a nice rustic look. Then applied words to <i>another</i> John Denver song with her trusty Sharpie. Suzan really loves John Denver! It's just lovely. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Eden Springs Natural Products are so amazing and popular we've had a hard time keeping them stocked on the shelf! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For Colorado's cold, dry climate during the winter months I highly recommend the <b>Lotion Bars</b>. Designed to keep your skin moist and soft during the harsh months. It is best used just after a shower while skin is still damp, but can be applied any time your skin feels dry. It is made only with real, high quality oils and beeswax. There is no alcohol or synthetic ingredients which may irritate your skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For those that remember the days of always having some sort of salve around the house, we carry a <b>Healing Salve</b>. A unique product that no home should be found without. It is specially designed with herbs and essential oils that have been used for centuries to heal, relieve pain, fight infection, draw out toxicity (such as those from bites and stings), ease itching, reduce rashes, an more. It's a product with a thousand uses. Every home should have some! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">With Valentines approaching quickly, now's a good time to heal and soften your lips for extra kisses. <b>Chapstick </b>made from natural, luxuriant oils to keep your lips soft year round. Keep one in your car, purse, pocket and bedside stand. We never leave home without one! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you've been sticking to your New Years Resolutions and visiting the gym you may have experienced a few sore muscles. You have to try the <b>Sore Muscle Rub</b>! This rub is crafted from a variety of herbs and essential oils which relax light muscles, relieve pain, and stimulate blood flow for regeneration of damaged muscle cells. You have to give it a try!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Do you prefer a bar of soap over pumping a liquid out of a plastic bottle? Each <b>Natural Soap </b>is made with high quality oils for a luxuriant feel with nice lather. No synthetic ingredients are ever used. Herbs are used for color and essential oils for fragrance. You'll enjoy the all-natural clean the soaps provide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I can hardly stand it, so many exciting new products and workshops this year! We have already completed two amazing Chalk Paint® workshops with Annie Sloan paint.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Everyone was inspired, so much so that one class participant left the workshop and painted an entire desk that afternoon! Seeing inspiration of others and their determination brings us so much joy and makes it all worth it. </span></div>
