Nooky Gossip 73: Join An Evening of Fun and Giggles!

I am super excited to announce our first “An Evening With…” event for 2022! And I am over the moon to announce our first evening is with the epic FAFF Designs!

Join us for 'An Evening With….Connie Clarke from FAFF Designs' at Shabby Nook’s new retail store on High Street Burton Upon Trent on Friday 21st January 2022, for an evening of fun, laughter, and watching Connie demonstrating.

Starting at 6.30pm you will be greeted with a glass of Prosecco and some nibbles, then sit back and watch the master of colour at work!

Connie, who is a Dixie Belle Ambassador, will be demonstrating her fabulous skills and creating furniture pieces with the use of Dixie Belle Paint and accessories as part of our Dixie Belle Week in January 2022.

Connie is also a great entertainer with her bold and fun personality! You will have a chance to ask questions about her rise to fame in the paint world, how she juggles her business and homelife, and get some insider secrets as to how she has built her successful business.

There will be a chance to mooch, natter and shop with 10% off any purchases made that evening. If you would like to join us for this fun social event we would love to have you! We are located next to a micro pub, a pizza place and an Italian restaurant so you can make a whole night of it. If you aren't local I can recommend some local places to stay over night too!

Tickets cost just £30pp and are selling fast!

What a cracker of a Christmas present this would be for someone (or yourself!) Or come with friends and get rid of those January blues!

This week Katie Banyard is in the spotlight with this bright and beautiful nest of tables! With the weather outside looking a bit grey these are just what you need to bring some colour back into your life! They are such a gorgeous idea for your own home OR to make someone a stunning crafty Christmas gift that they will cherish for years to come!

Katie updated the nest of tables using Fusion Mineral Paint in Little Star, Renfrew Blue and Midnight Blue with a CUREiously Pinktrim. She created her own decoupage by using up some wallpaper she already had. This is a great tip to help tie a home décor theme together! To use the wallpaper as decoupage Katie first cut out the images she wanted, soaked them in water, peeled off the backing paper and stuck them to the tables before sealing. We recommend using a decoupage medium like Fusion's Decoupage and Transfer Gel. Thanks for sharing this amazing transformation with us Katie!
