Today and This Week etc.

 The weather is insanely hot and I am moving the store form one location to another.

The paint finally arrived as I mentioned , dealing with the shipping issues and Canada customs made me almost crazy.  But each and everyone of you had been wonderful about the delay, so by Saturday I should have all the orders packed weighed and ready for shipping and you will be getting a call to get your payment information.

No to mention the debit machine was not working, I had problems with the new hook up I left Bell (thank god , if anyone has dealt with them you know what I mean) to a new provider and the terminal I have was not compatible with the new phone line.  But the service I got was amazing and the Cutie that came to fix the problem today was great. So we are up and running , with that part anyway.

The new store will be organized in the next week , and if you are in the area please drop by, always glad to see a new face and bring some work gear , I am sure we can find something for you to do.

Oh did I tell you I also had to put my dog down he was 14 and an amazing friend. 😦

What a week!!!!!

Oh and I have  a couple of kitchen designs to present!!

Remember the new location 357 Main Street in Bath, Ontario, just 20 minutes west of Kingston and 20 minutes east of Beautiful Prince Edward County and Bath is on the water too, we have a  couple of great parks, wonderful ice cream shop. Lesly and Jason and their two beautiful children THE MAIN STREET CREAMERY.

All this has made me tired and off to bed early to night.

Until next time stay cool , enjoy and remember before and after pictues of your Annie Sloan projects , they are an inspiraton to all.

It’s Here!

Finally the chalk paint arrived. Long overdue, delays in customs etc. etc. my apologies to all.

We are putting all the orders together and hopefully will have them all out by the end of the week.

The bugs have been ironed out and hopefully will not have to endure this delay again, I am hoping to have all the colours stocked at all times. If you are planning to do a pick-up please e-mail us ahead of time so we can put your order aside, I would not want any one to make a trip and be dissapointed  that your colour is not in stock.

I am travelling in August to be certified and once that is done will be teaching classes.

I am also in the process of moving and should be at the new location soon. The new address is 357 Main Street Bath, Ontario , just west of Kingston and easy access from the Highway if you are travelling. The new  phone number is 613-881-0165 if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call. If you are ordering paint, our online site should be ready soon. But if you know the colours just send us an e-mail and we can process the orders.

Don’t forget to take before and after pictures, they are inspirtion to all of us painting and nice way to connect with others who have mutual interests.

Til next time

Hemp Fabric Correction

Hi Everyone

I made a mistake and posted the wrong fabric, this is it here…

Hemp Twill

Content: 55% Hemp 45% Cotton  Width: 58 inches  Weight:10.50z Colours: Natural, Blue, Black, taupe, Olive and Army Green.

Hemp Fabric

 

Hemp is one of my favourite fabrics to use. I have been using it since 1999  in various home decor projects, slip covers, draperies, just to name a few.

Hemp is one of the most eco-friendly fabrics. Hemp requires no pesticides to grow it is a renewable resource that can be culivated in as little as 100 days and is a very versatile fabric.

Hemp is a very strong fabric and is eight times that of cotton fiber. Hemp has long been long used in sails and rope for the British and American Navies.

It is also hypo-allergenic and non-irritating to the skin. Hemp has the look of linen and can also have the feel of linen ( depending on the blends). Hemp like linen will soften with age after each washing.

I am pleased to offer  two of my favorite  Hemp fabrics, both available by the metre. Both suitable for draperies, slipcovers ( great for the shabby chic look ) and upholstery.

Herringbone

Content: 55% hemp 45% cotton   Weight: 12.0 oz  Width: 59 inches   Colour: Natural

Hemp Linen

Content: 50% hemp 50% line Weight: 4.7 oz Width: 58 inches Colour:  variety such as natual, olive and many others.

If you have any questions or would like to order the product please email elizabeth@themelonpatch.com. Samples are available, just send us a quick note with your mailing address.
