25.01.2022 Seriously proud of my mosaic student Karen on completing her Magnum Opus. Never again is she allowed to say she is not creative! Call, email or DM if you are interested in mosaic classes. #mosaicclass #mosaicart #mosaic #art

25.01.2022 Latest commission piece: a pair of bedside tables painted with Annie Sloan Paloma over Louis Blue, distressed and finished with clear wax.

24.01.2022 Here's a little bit of fun from myself and a bunch of other lovely Annie Sloan stockists. (That's me with the pony) Featuring: Adriana & Pedro (ASI Australia); Helen (Gitanjali); Ray & Rose (Gaysha); Amy (Ivy &Art); Michelle (French Willow); Hayley & Darren (Chapter Two Interiors); and Michelle (Mint Revamped).

23.01.2022 Spot the cat: Catweazle likes to find secret little hidey places during isolation. #isolation #burmesecat #hidingcat #cat

20.01.2022 My customer, the lovely Juliann from @Juboostudio has been making these personalised name puzzles. They are painted and waxed with Annie Sloan products, so are completely child-safe. Annie Sloan Chalk Paints and Soft Wax not only give divine vibrant colours and a beautiful finish, but are non-toxic and certified Toy Safe. These little beauties not only look great but will help a young child learn to spell their name.

20.01.2022 Some random Sunday silliness from the home of The Cheshire Cat: Our Labradoodles sometimes literally lose their heads when chasing rabbits! #labradoodle #funnydogs #rurallife

18.01.2022 This is why I NEVER post videos on social media. Trying out Pearlescent Glaze ambushed by a naughty cat #anniesloan #anniesloanchalkpaint #pearlescent #fauxfinish #annoyingcat #burmesecat

18.01.2022 A little something from Annie Sloan HQ

18.01.2022 Happy (belated) birthday to The Cheshire Cat! One week ago today (May 1) was our 2nd birthday. But so very different to the way we thought it would be. No bubbles and celebrating - instead shop closed and the world in fear and isolation. It has been a very strange and trying year. Personally, managing chronic health issues and a very unwell child. Globally, environment crisis, bushfires and now COVID-19. Business-wise, still no decent website and online shop and a never-endi...ng To Do list. Yet it has been wonderful year in so many ways. Meeting many, many lovely people; being immersed in creativity; being inspired by incredibly talented folk; being able to support and encourage creativity in others, being part of the beautiful, supportive, clever tribe that is Annie Sloan. Isolation has given us time to think about where we are and where we are going, and what our business will look like when all this is over. So Happy Birthday to us, and wishing you all a lovely weekend. xx Sorry for the rambling post: birthdays make me reflective . #anniesloanchalkpaint #anniesloan #birthday

17.01.2022 Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and safe Easter. Take time to relax, reflect and renew. (Handmade eggs by The Cheshire Cat team, using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, Pearlescent Glaze and Royal Design Studio Stencil Creme) #easter #handmade #anniesloanchalkpaint #anniesloan #royaldesignstudio #rurallife

17.01.2022 Some more Vendula London gorgeousness! Bags and wallets in store - Vendula Beauty Lounge, Sweetie Caravan and Sewing Shop (complete with tiny rolls of fabric in the window). Could they possibly get any more divine? Available in store or message us. #vendulalondon #vendula #bagsaddict #bagsforsale #bagsandwallets #accessories

17.01.2022 Look what we've got! (insert happy little dance) Happy 30th Anniversary to Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! The 30th is traditionally the pearl anniversary. So to cele...brate here is a new divinely, lustrously pearly finish. It gives a durable finish similar to wax and lacquer and can be tinted with small amounts of Chalk Paint, particularly lighter tones. Available now! #pearlescent #anniesloanchalkpaint #anniesloan #chalkpaint #upcycledfurniture #fauxfinish

16.01.2022 A little message to all you clever creatives and lovers of all thing gorgeous - The Cheshire Cat will be open for business for as long as we are allowed. In tim...es of stress I just want to hide away in my studio and make stuff, so I feel pretty blessed to be able to do that. Creativy satisfies the soul. It is important to see the opportunities during this grim and crazy time. Extra time at home means extra time to finish all your unfinished projects and start some new ones. Our online shop is still a work in progress, but please get in touch if there is anything you want. We will be delivering around the Mornington Peninsula area and can post anywhere else. In the meantime, keep calm, be kind, be creative, keep your loved ones close and ration your toilet paper

16.01.2022 I believe in celebrating the small things in life. There's nothing wrong with aiming low and lowering your expectations; you are less likely to be disappointed. 12 months ago I barely even knew what Insta was. To every single one of my Followers, (in fact anyone who has ever bothered to look at my posts) thank you from the bottom of my heart Happy Saturday. #aimlow #celebratethesmallthings

15.01.2022 Just a little something from myself and other lovely Annie Sloan stockists. Enjoy. #anniesloanchalkpaint #anniesloan #chalkpaint #chalkpaintstockist

13.01.2022 Here's what to do with your empty Annie Sloan Chalk Paint tins! Haven't posted for a while. This COVID-19 lockdown has given me a serious case of CBB ('Can't Be Bothered'). Kids home schooling, no socialising, no visiting interesting places, it just seems to have gone on forever and it's getting a bit wearying. Anyhoo, we're fortunate to live in a beautiful place with awesome pets and spring is on its way. So I'll get my lazy butt into gear and get creating again...maybe afte...r a cuppa... Hope you are all keeping well and sane.

12.01.2022 BEST DAY EVER! The baby goats arrived. They're only about 2 hours old, but SO cute! I know, I know, there's baby animals being born all the time, but these are my first!

12.01.2022 Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to the rescue! Last-minute Book Week costume. Who knew Antibes Green was the perfect colour for Mike Wasowski (Monsters Inc)?

12.01.2022 All lives matter. (Artwork by Holly Dai) #blacklivesmatter #alllivesmatter

12.01.2022 Was planning a grand announced, but time is not on my side... drumroll...The Cheshire Cat is now stocking Iron Orchid Design transfers, moulds and stamps!! We are still selling from the studio and won't be reopening the shop for a while as the Packing House is only open on Saturday and Sunday. #ironorchiddesigns #decortransfers

11.01.2022 Friends come in all shapes and sizes. Baby Tilly Goat (2 months old) is quite taken with young Phantom (1 month old).

11.01.2022 When you have work to do but your friend messages you to ask if you'd like to go out for a drive... what would you say? #morningtonpeninsula #savewesternport #countrylife #horseandcarriage

09.01.2022 Here's a bit of Annie Sloan gorgeousness to brighten your Sunday. How lovely is this earthy ochre colour Arles!

08.01.2022 Just when we thought things couldn't get cuter around here - went out this morning to find this little baby!

07.01.2022 Only 1 sleep to go!! Can't wait to see everyone's smiling eyes (not faces 'cos you'll be wearing masks). We're open TOMORROW at The Tyabb Packing House. We have outgrown our tiny shop, so all the giftware, homewares and furniture are at our NEW stall in the main house, with a small selection of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. All the other fabulousness - Chalk Paint, stencils, brushes, books and Iron Orchid Designs loveliness is available from our studio, 4 min away from The Packing House.

07.01.2022 Just a few pretty Vintage & Co gifts, because Christmas is not far away. The 12 Days of Christmas calendar is particularly fabulous. Available at our wee still (#22) at the Tyabb Packing House. Open this weekend.

06.01.2022 It's finally arrived! Will settle down with a cuppa and read... #anniesloanchalkpaint #anniesloan #thecolourist #creativelifehappylife #creativehome

06.01.2022 I am finally starting to emerge from my COVID-malaise, so thought I'd provide a little update. We are in the process of rethinking how we do things and have closed the wee shoppe in The Village and taken over a little stall in the 'Big House' at The Tyabb Packing House Antique Centre, which *hopefully* will reopen soon. We will have the giftware, furniture and a small range of Annie Sloan products here, and the rest of the creative gorgeousness will be available from our Home Studio, where we will be offering workshops as soon as allowed.

06.01.2022 Look what the lovely, talented Karine from Obtainium Antiques has done with Annie Sloan Athenian Black and IOD Fronds transfer! So elegant! #anniesloanchalkpaint #chalkpaint #ironorchiddesigns

05.01.2022 Just a random pic of my goatie gals chillin' in the Spring sunshine. (And wondering when they're going to be shorn!)

05.01.2022 Social Isolation guidelines from Downunder #aussiehumour #covid19 #socialisolation

04.01.2022 Feeling blessed. This is what Social Isolation looks like at Cheshire Cat Manor. Sunshine, autumn leaves and pony bums make me happy. Hope you are all keeping safe and well #rurallife #morningtonpeninsula #countrylife #minipony #autumn

04.01.2022 Looks like the Fey Folk have given my work-in-progress Faery Garden their approval! These magical toadstools just appeared. Still much work to be done, but I'm feeling more inspired now. #faery #fairygarden #toadstool #magicgarden #morningtonpeninsula #rurallife

03.01.2022 COVID-19 has changed the way we share our space with each other and has forced us to be confined in ways we never imagined. It is important to remember to just be nice to each other. We are all in this together. Keep safe everyone My dog CuSith ('Coo-Shee') and Catweazle have worked it out.

03.01.2022 Vendula-la-lovely! We've finally unpacked all this gorgeousness. Some of the new styles: Winter Cafe, Cake Boutique, Picadilly Theatre, Vintage Scrapbook and more. Plus there's more to come. Watch this space...

02.01.2022 Still setting up the new temporary home of The Cheshire Cat. Can't bring everything here, but got all the Annie Sloan stuff, stencils and things. #anniesloanchalkpaint #homestudio

02.01.2022 We were blessed with a visit from this furry bundle recently! Munching away happily by the roadside at the top of our street. Never dreamed we'd have a real live koala so close to home! It didn't stay around long, though and had moved on the next day. (Sorry it's not a better photo.)

02.01.2022 I don't think I introduced the little fella on the right. This is Phantom and he is 3 weeks old tomorrow. We are in baby pony heaven with these two! And they are BFFs. We were worried he wouldn't arrive as he was due the same time as his half-sister Will-'O-Wisp (left), but was born 5 weeks after her. Swipe left to see pix of him at about 2 hours old.

02.01.2022 A very rare Tyabbian Two-headed cat was spotted at our house this afternoon. #catsofinstagram #burmesecat #catfriends

01.01.2022 Sadly due to circumstances beyond our control, our physical shop is now closed. (The Tyabb Packing House where we are located has had to close its gates.) However we are relocating all our lovely Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, stencils and creative gorgeousness to our home studio located in Tyabb, 5 minutes from the shop. We are offering pick up by arrangement, free local delivery and reduced shipping. Still working on the online shop...but you can call - 0477 446 246; email [email protected] or message us in the meantime. Please everyone keep safe, don't lose heart and take this opportunity to do something positive; do the things you never get around to doing. Me, I will be painting and creating in my studio, playing with my animals and spending extra time with my family. I know it's a great chance to do some cleaning and clearing, but where's the fun in that! Keep your loved ones close and your hand sanitiser closer .
