Fabulous Craft Sale

I just received notification that In-Home Arts will cease to operate as of November 30, 2007. Although I specialized in One Stroke painting and am active in Dewberry Designs, I believe I was fortunate to be a part of In Home Arts. In-Home Arts is only 2 1/2 years old and I am sorry to learn the company was not able to 'take off' so to speak.

With this sad news, I have very GOOD news!!!! Effective this Friday, 10/19, all In-Home Art merchandise is 50% off. To view all our products, go to http://www.nancyjsmith.inhomearts.com/. There will be no rain checks or back orders. Once the inventory is gone, it will no longer be available for purchase. The company will take orders through 11/30/07.

We have jewelry, paint supplies, yarn supplies, paper crafting material, paint transfers and much, much more. Don't miss this fabulous opportunity!

To order:
Please go to my website (http://www.nancyjsmith.inhomearts.com/) . You can pay by credit card, etc and your order will be mailed directly to you.

By the way - the prices online now reflect the 50% price.

If you have any questions about the merchandise, please email me at thepaintedvine@comcast.net

Thank you so much for your order,
Nancy

Christmas Teacup Nightlight

October 1 is here - only 85 days until Christmas. That is hard to believe.

As you know, I have now been retired for 4 weeks and I am attempting to get a schedule. At this point I seem to have gotten more housework and painting done when working full time! Can anyone relate to this? I made a promise to myself that beginning today - Oct 1 - I will NOT turn on the TV and I will paint seasonal projects.

One project from my In-Home Art collection is this very cute nightlight with Holly Leaves and Berries. Would this not look precious in your kitchen, or the guest powder room? This nightlight is of high quality and is about 3 or 4 inches tall and 3 or 4 inches wide.

I can hold a class in my studio and everyone paint one, or you can purchase from me for $15.00 plus shipping. Email me for details.

A New Chapter

Dear Friends and Fellow Painters,

I will be retiring within a few weeks from a company that I had worked for 34 years. I will begin a new and exciting chapter in my life. One Stroke Painting will play a major part in this new chapter.


Beginning in September, my One Stroke goals for YOU include:

*Updating my website weekly - well, maybe biweekly!
*Offering advance skill level projects.
*Keeping you all informed of the latest One Stroke merchandise.

I am very excited about the future. So stay tuned for many, many changes at The Painted Vine.

Happy Painting!
Nancy
