YESTERDAY AFTERNOON I TOOK A RIDE TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOPPES. http://www.countingsheepantiques.com/ 
THE STORE OWNER IS SALLY BARKER AND SHE ROCKS!!! IF ANY OF YOU OUT THERE ARE INTERESTED IN ANNIE SLOAN CHALK PAINT™ IN THE MASSACHUSETTS AREA SHE'S THE ONE TO SEE. THE PIONEER AND FIRST RETAILER IN MASS, SHE'S AN EXPERT:) 
THE COUNTING SHEEP IS FULL OF EVERYTHING FROM PRIM DECOR TO FRESHLY PAINTED FURNITURE...COOL ACCESSORIES TOO..OH AND SHE SELLS THE ASCP™ AND ALL THE EXTRA'S. (BRUSHES..WAXES) SHE ALSO OFFERS CLASSES.
WHILE I WENT TO PICK UP MY FLORENCE I WAS DISTRACTED BY ONE OF THE BOOTHS IN HER SHOP!!!
I TEND TO GRAVITATE TOWARDS PAINTED FURNITURE:) 
NOW I HAVE TO SAY I'M NOT EASILY IMPRESSED..I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 10 FRIGGIN YEARS AND I KINDA FEEL LIKE I'VE SEEN AND DONE IT ALL...UNTIL I CAME ACROSS THIS..


THIS IS ABOUT 5 FT IN HEIGHT AND DRENCHING IN CHARACTER. LOOK CLOSE AT THE TOP RIGHT PORTION OF THE MIRROR!!!! SHEER GENIUS!!!! THESE 2 WOMEN HAVE DIVINE TASTE AND THEIR PIECES ARE VERY WELL DONE!!! TWO THUMBS UP. CHECK OUT THEIR BLOG http://www.oldchicboutique.com 


I PICKED UP A PIECE FOR A BEDROOM FIT FOR ELOISE THERE TOO..I WILL SHOW PICS OF THAT PROJECT WHEN WE GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FINISH LINE. 


BUT HERE IS A LITTLE TASTE OF FLORENCE..THE NEWEST COLOR TO JOIN THE ASCP™ FAMILY.




OK SO THIS IS FLO OVER PURE WHITE WITH THE DARK WAX...SAY THAT 3 TIMES FAST!!! IT'S GORG AND WILL BE IN THE SHOP ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER SENSATIONAL PIECES:) 
THIS WAS A LONG ONE FOR ME IN SHORT CHECK OUT THE CHICS AT COUNTING SHEEP AND HEAD OVER TO OUR SHABBY CORNER
XOXO

    Hi Stephanie,
    Sally from Counting Sheep Antiques told me that you had seen our furniture in her shop and mentioned it in your blog. Thank you so much for your very flattering review of our work! We're pretty new to the business (and blog land) and to have someone with your experience give us "two thumbs up" is a great compliment! Hopefully we'll meet up at Sally's sometime or if we're ever in your area we will definitely stop in and say hello.
    Thank you so much again and have a great weekend,
    Cheryl
