  1. I use the Shiny line of Folk Art all the time. It's great but the one you really have to try is their glitter/sparkle paint. Two coats and perfection without all the shiny bits of hand applied glitter in your hair, your carpets, for months, lol.

  2. We're lucky. We inherited many Barclays winter pieces. The paint is worn on a lot of them but that is part of their charm and our family history.
