Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and an Online Auction for a Friend


Hello!
This last month I have been working on photographing Miss Mustard Seed's beautiful Milk Paint colors......
I have fallen in love with the colors.....


One of my favorite colors is French Enamel.....
I had an old French zinc pitcher that I decided to paint using the French Enamel color.....
French Enamel is very close to the same color as my mirror I have in my entryway.....


My mirror has the original paint color so I haven't ever been able to tell anyone a paint color as I often get asked what color of paint was used on this particular mirror....
I now have a paint color I can recommend......



I wanted to put a room together using as many of the Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint colors as I could....
One of my favorite things about decorating with white is adding pops of color to a room, and Miss Mustard Seed has such beautiful colors that will help liven up any room...


In this room I used six pieces that I had painted using the Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint.

The door is painted Grain Sack....
The zinc pitcher is painted French Enamel...
The crate is painted Linen.


I LOVE the packaging!  


In the above image the pitcher is painted French Enamel, the door is painted Grain Sack, and the jar is painted Ironstone....


My friend Aimee who has a shop called the Antique Gardener let me borrow her beautiful kitchen scale for a few product shots..... 
I will share more pictures of  Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in the future.....

Becky Hanson, a good friend of ours, had a rare spinal tumor removed and was recently diagnosed with having a grade 4 glioblastoma tumor...... Becky and her husband Dave are both well respected horse trainers in our community.....
Mike and Barbi Boyle have put together a silent auction that is being held at the High Roller Classic in Vegas this week.  
The auction will be open until Friday night during the dinner on September 13th.
The auction is also available online....
You don't have to be in Vegas at the horse show to bid on the items....


I donated a 20" x 40" canvas of an image I shot on the ranch....
I printed the image using Richard Photo Lab....


All proceeds will go directly to the Hanson family to help with all the expenses they have incurred over the past three months.
You can read more about Becky's story on a page that was set up for Becky on facebook....
Becky has been such an inspiration to me and so many others, and is really one of the most courageous women I know.....
Keep fighting Becky!


Thank you for taking the time to stop by!
Take Care,
