Look what is new and fresh at Knack! I love that these stools are small in size so you can use them on top of furniture or on the floor.....and the painted numbers......oh, be still my little pitter patted heart!
These little lovelies are in the booth at Antiques on Augusta.

I am loving the new white wall in the studio. It hurts my eyes so good when the sun hits it.

It has been  good to get back into the studio today and get my hands dirty. I have been putting things back in their places, loading my car up with goodies I brought from home for photo shoots, defrosting my fridge that got left open {oopsie!}, and repairing my saweet studio couch that got damaged during photo shoot moving. 
I love the studio couch so much, and it will never leave the studio because of its broken little leg that got it here in the first place....but I will repair it...and repair it....until it cannot be repaired anymore.....and then I'll cut the legs off and use books or something else to prop it up on.
couch love.

I love you to the moon and back.

  I have been waiting for this day, and it is finally here! I now have the green light to let you all in on a few of the Knack book details! Woo hoo!
First of all, I am very happy to announce that the Knack book will be published by Chronicle Books! It is not only a huge dream come true to even be writing a book in the first place, but the fact that my favorite publisher will be handling it all is just thrilling for me. I am so honored to be working with Chronicle, and have learned so much through this fantastic process.
Second, the book will be about furniture...{surprise, surprise!}....lots and lots of furniture with plenty of beautiful photographs. Chronicle produces beautiful books, and I am super excited that a Knack book will be added to that list very soon.
Thirdly, the Knack book will release in Spring 2013!! The manuscript is complete, the photos will be complete in a couple weeks, and very soon I will start seeing layout and design for the book! It has been a lot of hard work.... overwhelming at times...as all huge projects can be......but it is all coming together beautifully, and I am so thankful!
 Thank you to each and every one of you for your support of Knack, and for the time you take every week to leave encouragement and love for me! Thank you, thank you! .......and get ready for the goodness, because I have been working really hard to create something very special. 
I will be posting a few behind the scenes photos in a little bit.....and from here on out! Woot!

Barb

Some of you might remember that I had to say goodbye to my furry pal "lizzie"  in September. I miss her, and I miss having a dog in the house. 
My 13 year old daughter "B" is a huge animal lover, and she has just applied to volunteer at our local humane society. It is a beautiful, no kill shelter that we are really proud of. 
So....... we have found ourselves "needing" to pop by there more often these days.....and whenever we are  there, I always stop in to see all the babies......and this one almost came home with me.....but I am not sure I am ready yet.
.....i may go back and get her .....jury is still out.....
.....my husband says that the humane society is the most dangerous place for my daughter "B" and I to be....and he is totally right....we may end up bringing them all home :)

Saw these erasers at Target the other day, and I had to laugh. 
If I was writing my book manuscript on paper, I would have totally purchased them :) I think it would be fun to write something nutty.....just so I would have to erase it with my nifty "argh" eraser!
