I have been using a big bowl to water my plants in front of the studio....and it works fine......but when I saw this hippo watering can at Target, I knew that it would make watering the studio plants a fantastic experience! I'm totally laughing just thinking about it!
Head over to your local Target and get yourself some hippo magic.....for the magical price of 1.00.
Would I steer you wrong?

Well....I must apologize for the late post today! Although the thought did cross my mind as I was writing this post...."hmmmm....maybe I should start a new trend in blogging....and post at the end of every day".....and that could be my great excuse for today's late post?! No? {wink!}
.....these gorgeous chairs are part of a dining room table and chairs custom job that I am working on right now for a local designer and her client. {will tell you more about them later!} I am hoping to have all of the chairs and the table finished by the end of the week so I can photograph them for you all and show you on Monday! I love the colors that were picked for this job and will reveal those as well!
...hope today has been a goody!

My sister never ceases to amaze me with her beautiful projects.....and this latest one has got to be a favorite of mine!
Check out the colorful painted jars {she gives a great tutorial!} and be sure to stop by her blog and etsy shop to check out her goodies!

...I know those of you who follow me on instagram have already seen this picture....but for those of you who have not seen this little lovely.......
....this is my giant marbled clay pot that I picked up on the side of the road....and it was so heavy that my son and his buddy had to help me lift it! I am happy to report that it has found a happy home at the studio front door......and I hope to add more and more pots to the studio collection soon. I think groupings of orphaned pots falls right in line with the Knack philosophy......don't you?

I have been working on a plan for the front of the studio, and dreaming of planting some flowers again. I was waiting until the weather got warmer....and well.....it has been in the 70's and 80' here the past few weeks!
While I am still having a hard time narrowing down what I want to put out front because... it has to be weather resistant, not metal....because metal tends to vanish around the studio parts {wink!}, heavy enough so that it can't be carted off, colorful, and knack worthy. Whew!...that is a tall order I tell you!
I hope to get it narrowed down here in the next few weeks, and finally have some beautiful color back out in front of the studio.
I absolutely love the idea of these little colorful tin can gardens. What a sweet gift to give a neighbor or friend ...while recycling and making something useful again all at the same time......good stuff.
