.....well my friends.......ever since my clarity moment things started changing like crazy at knack........doors slammed shut....... new doors flung open ....

......I knew this year would be a year of change.....I was running out of room and the business needs were changing.........I knew that I needed to start looking for more square footage.......it's just that I was so happy with my little 600 square foot space......and how it felt like home every time I walked through the front door. It's called the "comfort zone"....and I didn't want to leave.....it had served me so well...but deep inside I knew it was time........and that was exciting and scary all at the same time......

..... then, the most miraculous thing happened......the perfect storefront was waiting for knack to come in and breathe new life into it's forgotten space........ take all of the bars off the windows....add some color to the walls.....a fresh coat of paint on the storefront and awnings....welcoming old and new friends....

....adding signs of life.....signs of sparkle and energy that have been missing for a long time....

...I'm so excited about this new chapter....the blood is pumping my friends....and did I mention that it is 1500 square feet? .......so there is plenty of room to grow and produce my little wooden people that I am so passionate about.........and it will feel like home........soon....

...painters start today....... there are many pictures to come......

.....thank you for the love and support that you all give.......it's so awesome......
