Just a little chat from me to you .......

First of all, 2009 was a fantastic year for knack! I met so many new faces, had painting projects galore, a book deal, and an installation in times square! I'm so inspired to keep on creating and transforming! Thank you for being friends and supporters! With growth, there comes change. As I poured over the numbers and goals that I have for knack, it became apparent that a little bit of shifting around needed to be made in order to accommodate the growth, and continue to produce the product that you all have come to know and love. My studio space is limited, and because of the huge messes that I tend to create it became harder and harder to stop production and set everything up for First Fridays. So, I have decided knack will not be open For First Fridays this year......BUT.... I will be doing a show in the Spring, and a Fall event when the Design Sponge book comes out. Stay tuned for more details to come! There are still plenty of ways to get your hands on some knackage! If you are local, you can visit Antiques on Augusta daily or make an appointment to pop by the studio during the week. For those of you who live out of state, you can visit my etsy shop to purchase your piece and have it delivered to your front door! I look forward to helping each and every one of you create beautiful, inviting spaces that tell your personal design story in 2010!
