Artsy Road Trip and Other Stuff // Sat Chat 5/3/24

Hi friends! I must preface this video by redacting a fact that I got wrong in the video, the tariff on UK imports is 10%, not 41%. I just wanted to make sure I lead with this so everyone doesn’t panic buy up all the Derwent products (although Blick has had them 50% off list lately if you needed some. OK, now let’s get into Sat Chat!

I mentioned the Phoenix Professional watercolors were back in stock. I plan to post a video using them this week. Hopefully, I will have a discount code to share with you as they said they would honor their introductory price back in February when they sold out, but with the 145% tarrif, who knows?

I thought I’d share some fun photos from our artsy road trip this week! I had a fun day with my friends and fellow YouTubers @CautionArtistatPlay   @karenclarkcreations   @ClarkFineArt. We met up for lunch and then went to my family’s business. It is a hardware store called Lakeview Lumber in China, Maine. My sister has an art & craft department there that they will be closing. If you are in the area and want to get vintage supplies at 50% off (yes, I realize how sketchy this sounds) you can call them at 207-968-2498 and ask for Bry, and she can open up the basement craft shop so you can shop Tuesday – Saturday (except for lunch 11 am- noon.)

Happy crafting!
