…stifel & capra

March 6, 2013 by christen | 3 Comments

I’m happy to announce today that I will be selling a few pieces at Stifel & Capra in Falls Church. Dear Teresa & her sweet, spice-making DH Bob have welcomed me into their eclectic, vintage, artsy, hip shop. Yes, it’s the big, white house-shop on the corner of Broad St.

I did my very first showing at her Holiday Market about 2 years ago. And my dear friend, Liz, bought my first painted piece at the show!

Of course it was a family affair.

I know quite a few of you have asked where to get started selling. An indoor/outdoor, holiday or summer craft show is a great way to test the waters.

Come on in and see the shop! Along with lots of treasure, you will find Cece Caldwell Paint available. Colors are a bit different than Annie Sloan, but there is a huge range. It’s also a completely green product, eco-friendly & non-toxic. I’m excited to try them out in the near future and posting. I already picked up some Memphis Blue to experiment with.

P.S. I will still be selling pieces from my website, my Etsy shop, Luckett’s Spring Market & Chartreuse Market Days.…and refinishing custom pieces from my home of course.

P. P. S. Happy Snow Day!

    Will be interested in your take on the CeCe paints. I have used ASCP extensively and much more prefer Aniie Sloan! I will say I like the CeCe wax, it’s much easier to work with!

    Good for you and Stifel and Capra! I’m not close enough to shop there but if we ever take our “trip” we talk about. 🙂 I will be interested in your take on the CeCe products, waxes too. I really like the paint. I especially like the way it drys. Cinco Bayou Moss with old white over it is a beautiful “combination”…turns a mossy gray. Let us know!

    Have a great day!

    Just finished my first CeCe project last night and I’m not sure yet. I used Smokey Mountain and Annies Clear wax, the finish is growing on me but it is uneven after 2 coats. I love Annies and I love CeCe’s colors but I think I need to play some more.
