We could probably all agree on one thing.
From time to time, this stuff brings us together.
I’ve professed my love for chalk paint in more than one place, so when I realized I could meet Patty, my stockist/paint-talkin’-buddy-for-life, & Annie Sloan on the Annie Sloan American Tour this year, I was all in!
The Tour starts in Dallas on March 16, but I’ll be heading to Boston on April 2 to hang with Patty and her sis, Karen, and of course, Annie.
I cannot wait to play around with this paint that I’ve already gone crazy over–and learn some new techniques from Annie herself.
If you’re in the area, or want to make the trip over, I hope you’ll come on and join us! I would love to have you guys alongside me doing something we all love!
For more info on the tour, click the banner above. I hope I see some of y’all there!
And yes, I’ll keep saying “y’all” while I’m in Boston.
I am so excited for the tour, I’ll be at the one in San Fran, wish you could fly out to be there, would love to give you a big hug!! Can’t wait to hear your report on the workshop! xoxo

That’s great! I wish I could be there, too–we’ve got to hang out a little in between running at Haven!

Hi Shaunna!!!
I’ve been following your blog for the past year (Kate’s too!!! Love you girls!) and I am a new stockist for Annie Sloan chalk paint on Long Island. I was trained by Patty a few weeks back and when she told me you were going to be at the tour…that kinda sealed the deal for me to go…haha!!! Cannot wait to meet you!!! You are just fabulous!!
Amanda
Thank you, Amanda! I’m SO excited to be there!! Can’t wait to meet you!

No way! I’m about 40 min. from Boston 🙂 I would love to meet up. Don’t know anything about the ASCP tour other than, her paint. I’ll look into it, maybe I can go . Email me your plan if you want and maybe we can hook up!
Awesome, Jessica!!! That’s SO exciting–I’ll email you when I figure out flights, etc.

I’m in the Boston area and would love to go…saving up my pennies, I’d love to hang with you guys! And you can totally say y’all up here just add ‘wicked’!!
Hey Shaunna,
I might see you there and even get to assit you! As you might know, I am a stockist and was trained by the fabulous Patty in NJ. I have volunteered to help with the Boston Workshop. I am helping to organize the Leesburg, Va. workshop on the 31 of March, so it is going to be a whirlwind week for sure. Hope to see you there!!!!

So excited to meet you and see my friends Patty and Karen again.
See you in Boston…Janet xox

I tweeted you, but I’ll say it again here: “Mike’s Pastry” on Hanover street. My kids’ favorite part was riding the subway. The Aquarium is WAY overpriced (but still cool). And if you go through the Hartford area, bring your friends over. We’re redoing our kitchen, and you can help me 🙂 (and I’m an excellent cook, I swear it. )
I moved up here to Yankee country 6 years ago, and I still say “y’all”. I know another lady who moved up here from SC 20 years ago, and she does, too. You may leave the South, but it NEVER leaves you!
You’ll love Boston. I enjoy it every time I go. Reminds me a lot of DC, it’s a HUGE busy town, but at seems so small at the same time. Love it there.
I second the “Mike’s pastry” thing. I hear their lobster tail pastries are “to die for”.
Lucky you! I love the beantown 🙂 And I’m also 45mins away…wish I was going. Hope you enjoy your visit.
Just signed up! You inspired me. I hope to meet you while your in beantown and you can certainly say y’all here 🙂 So excited!
Awesome, Danielle! Can’t wait to meet you!
🙂

Oh my gosh – so excited!! I’m in the Boston area and want to come meet you (Jessica too!) and play with Annie Sloan paint!! How fun!
Very cool, Lisa! Look forward to meeting you!!
🙂
shaunna
Great to hear you’ll be there! I’m making the trip from Canada. Very excited!
Can’t wait to meet you, Katrina! Have a safe trip!
🙂

Fun! But could you pretty pretty please become a stockist? My dealings with a local stockist just left me ticked off. And I need a quart of white. And some more Provence. And maybe that Paris grey too.
Hi, Shaunna!!!
I am a big fan of yours! In fact, your house is an inspiration for what I want to do in my house!
I think I first saw you on Nate Berkus show, then looked at your page, and the rest is history!
I am so excited you are going to Boston! I live in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, so I can’t go!
BUT I have been to a workshop and learned how to paint with different techniques (I also watched your tutorials) at The Passionate House, which is the distributor for ASCP close to my city. I am hooked, thanks to you!!!! I first read about ASCP on your blog, you made a comparison in cost between regular paint and ASCP. Anyway, THANK YOU!!! Have loads of fun in Boston!!! Claudine
I need a serious kick in the butt to get back on the refinishing wagon. My son was diagnosed with leukemia the day after Thanksgiving (black Friday has a whole new meaning now), and my painting aspirations have taken a much needed backseat. But I’m ready to be creative again and this might be the kick I need. We are in southern NH, but I make the trip into Boston every Friday for Jack’s treatments, so perhaps I can get my husband to stay home on that Monday so I can have a day of joy to myself. It can be my birthday present to myself. And I would be over the MOON to meet you as I love, LOVE your blog!!
Debbie, wow….I’m certainly going to be praying for you guys–definitely come if you can! Would LOVE to meet you!

I’m in!!
I am just learning about Annie Sloan paint and want to use it on a cabinet in my laundry room. Since there are no stockists near me, I will be ordering it online. Could you steer me towards a fabulous gray color?
Hi Shauna,
I will be headed to the workshop with Jami of Freckled Laundry who is gonna be my houseguest for the visit to Boston~I live about 15 minutes outside of town. Just finding your blog~looking forward to meeting you April 2nd!
Hey Amy!
Looking forward to meeting you, too!
