Shop Update!

Hi Friends,

Just a quick note that The Color Shop will be closed June 6 through June 19 while I head back to Atlanta for Annie Sloan training and business.

If you need paint, supplies, or anything else before I leave, I'll be at the shop until 5 PM today.

I'm looking forward to bringing back new ideas, inspiration, and plenty of creative energy to share with all of you.

If you need paint or supplies while I'm away, Lucy will be at the shop on Saturday, June 13. If you have questions during that time, feel free to email me and I'll do my best to respond as quickly as I can.

Thank you for supporting this little creative business. I appreciate you all and look forward to seeing you when I'm back Saturday June 20th.

Happy creating,

Molly

Hi Friends,

The new IOD release landed last week and the shop has basically been one giant creative rabbit hole ever since. New moulds, stamps, transfers, and paint inlays everywhere. Lots of “I’m just looking” turning into full project plans.

I’ve included the IOD YouTube link here (https://ctrk.klclick1.com/l/01KREZ4GFSRD1ABZ8YD5Z61VSW_4) so you can see the full release and get inspired.

We also still have space in this Saturday’s Getting Started with Annie Sloan workshop. If you’ve been wanting to finally learn Chalk Paint basics and start creating, come join us. It’s beginner friendly, relaxed, and always a fun group.

Also, yes, we are still at Lloyd Center for now and the mall remains fully open while I work on landing The Color Shop a new home ASAP. I promise I’ll keep all of you updated along the way.

Wish me luck. And thank you so much to everyone who has been sending sweet space leads and cheering us on. I really appreciate it more than you know.

See you soon,
Molly
