A bag of rags to some is like gold to us! Too funny! I would love to be entered in the give-away Ele. Okay...haven't visited in a while so I am off to read back post. xoxo
Hi, Sweetie! This looks like a great book that I'd love to read and try out!! We have an AS distributor in our town now! Guess you guys are extra busy on the farm right now. We are loving the time with our lil guys! LOVE the look of your blog! Miss you.
Two of my favorite towels are ones that vendors wrapped up my purchases in so that I could safely take them home! I was more than pleasantly surprised when I got home and unwrapped my things.
Beautiful book and someone will be very lucky on this give away!
Hi Ele, thanks so much for coming by and issuing the invitation. I'd love to win this great book. I haven't had a chance to try ASCP, someday I'll have to take the plunge. Love creating a French look, thanks so much for the chance!

It's Giveaway Time!
Leave me a comment on my facebook, or directly on my blog. Say, "hi," or "thanks," or anything you like, and I will put your name in (1 per person) for a random drawing, for the book, Creating the French Look, by Annie Sloan.
[Image]
Annie Sloan's chalk paints come in fab colors, and she will show you examples of transformed pieces of furniture. I love this book. It covers many French styles, and really clears up any confusion you might have between them. This giveaway will end on May 4th.
My son recently brought home a 'bag of rags" to be used on the farm, from an auction. The bag was $1.00. In the bag were several of the linen towels just like the one that was used to upholster the chair on Annie's book cover. The towels are now MINE:)
Good Luck!
Ele
