breathe

Today is a personal day ..... artist Rachael Madeline brought in several pieces for the February show at art and light and I have always loved the look and feel of her work. I have photographed it in several of my styled shots before here and here ...... but then one piece called "show me how" caught my eye and I had a moment of tears {happy ones of course} and knew that I wanted to look at it every day. The reason I want to look at it every day is ..... it makes me think of the man that I am blessed to have in my life and how he truly has taught me to breathe .... even underwater. I love you JB ... xoxo

my friday hankerin'

I have been eyeing these beauties for a very long time ..... I love the ruffles and the stitching and once again love the composition of the photos. You have to be quick to be one of the lucky ones .... there is a major frenzy every time new bags are listed! Maybe one day I will own a piece of hank , but oh my... how will I ever choose!

I hope you all have had a happy and productive week! I have been covered in paint this week and lots of projects ...... you know what that means ...... next week I will unveil some new friends! Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

these are just so stinkin' fun .......

These are just so beautiful and fun and fabulous and fantastic and a lovely bit of goodness on this Thursday ! Visit ruby's lounge for more .......

I hope you all have a great day! I always look forward to Thursdays because I meet my 80 ish {to protect the innocent} year old grandmom for lunch! I wouldn't miss it for the world! I love you Gi Gi!! xoxo

um...... could these be any cuter?

I am absolutely loving these tiny houses by Jessica Jane and have been meaning to post about them for some time. These little guys have so much personality , and the styling of the photos is perfection!

It seems like these little guys sell out just as fast as they are listed so you can also check here for more!

Here I go again with my special "mini" finds! xoxo

** I also want to say a special thanks to my friend Grace from the pink olive for her sweet and wonderful post on knack today....please stop by her blog and say hello! Grace has the BEST stores in East Village and Park Slope!

Thanks AT ...... I love you guys!

Thanks so much to AT for another feature, and some very kind words! I am a huge apartment therapy fan and feel so giddy to be featured there!

new finds and gray walls

I just had to post a couple shots of my new pieces . These chairs were given to me { yes GIVEN} and they are so gorgeous! Solid walnut and in too good of shape to paint. I can't believe those words even came out of my mouth! Anyway, I finally will get to put to use some gorgeous fabric I bought at Mood in NYC to recover the seat cushions and they will be fantastic! The hutch has so much personality I can't stand it ..... jury is still out as to what the final destination of this piece will be but I will show you when it is done. If you all have any good names I would love to hear them!

Last but not least a window shot .... and notice the lovely , perfect, amazing gray walls in the background! I had the studio painted this weekend and I wish I had done it a long time ago.

Have an awesome day my friends! xoxo

ever so loverly

It's Monday my friends!! Good morning to you. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I think these pins by brooklyn rehab are just pretty wonderful .....made from kilt pins, brass frames and vintage lettering ..... the "k " is talking to me. xoxo

oh my ..knit knit

this seems like the kind of thing a girl like me needs ... love this little etsy shop and all the sweet things there!

It has been a busy week here at knack, and next week starts the craziness of furniture production!! I'm gearing up for a love filled weekend to boost me on my way! Hope all of you my friends have a lovely weekend spent with the people, places and things that make your heart happy! xoxo
