from australia with love...
....I love the blog world for so many reasons, it would take forever to list them all....so I will focus on just a couple things today like friendship and generosity. I have had the privilege of "meeting" so many of you, and emailing on a weekly basis. I enjoy getting to know each and everyone of you that emails and cherish true connections and relationships.
...one such girl that I have gotten to know over the past few months is marie nicole. although she is all the way over in Australia, it has not stopped us from several long email chats and finding that we have several things in common! It has been fun to get to know this sweet lady, and discover her beautiful business. talk about someone who knows how to create AND photograph her work....wowsa! she's got skillz....be sure to stop by her etsy shop....
.... you can imagine my sheer joy when I got to the studio and found this little beauty waiting for me in the mailbox? yeah....I totally did the happy dance...
thank you again, miss marie nicole....it is super fly!

my 2011 calendar...
....was lovingly illustrated and designed by my sweet friend dee from our little love nest. I have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival...lingering over every sneak peek....and then ordering one for myself just yesterday!
I love the encouraging and positive quotes at the top of each month, and I really love that this years calendar is about adventure......because there are some big adventures on the horizon for knack, and I am putting on my seat belt!
I hope that this week is a special week of Thanksgiving for you all...this is simply my favorite holiday of the year....we are all so blessed and have much to be thankful for!

new...
... This is one of the pieces that I am working on for Knack this week. I found a new color, and I am using it as a base on this particular piece. It is a frabjous slate blue/gray that seriously looks like a turquoise/black in person... so rich and deep and beautiful.... I can't wait to do more of it!...
...Also, I received an email from a potential client in California yesterday and these words: " I just don't see how my house can survive without some of your "knackage", it just makes so much sense to me."....literally brought tears to my eyes....
...Hope you all have a spectacular Thursday!
