Product delivery update .

4th May 2026 ... Most of the colours are in stock now :) A fresh box of treasures that includes Speckled Egg Distress Paint is on the way over due early May, any others need to wait for Ranger to make more. A bulk buy of all 71 colours is available by invoice only - for a limited time, only while the retired stocks are available - Contact me of you have questions or need a hand. Thanks so much!

These 5 colours are not available at all. So sad because I love Cracked Pistachio (thank goodness we have Salvaged Patina). Only time will tell if Ranger are making more. There is always hope! - Cracked Pistachio, Fired Brick, Mowed Lawn, Prize Ribbon, Villainous Potion.

I've made a gazzilion little round swatches now, as close to the colours as I can (thanks to the new Ranger labels and my knowledge of colours) - and all the colours for Distress Paints are pickable using a button instead of sending me a message!

And then (soon) I'll do all the other Distress treasures - which means, all of our Dyan, Dina and Tim "any 1 colour" products will have buttons to choose your needs. 

revived colours made available again thanks to Tim and Ranger

The new buttons will help make it easier to see what is in stock and if all goes to plan, clicking on the name will match the colour of the spot. I've put off doing this for a while because the Distress range is so big - but today I had a brainwave about how to make the job easier - spots! lol 

Need to talk? I'm here to help :)
