Meet "Kammer". This little beauty came from Charlotte, NC for me to makeover and make new. My client had purchased it a few years ago at a flea market, and while the light blue patina on the dresser worked for a while, it was time for a refresher in order to fit into the new space designed for this piece. When turquoise was the color of choice I knew little miss would be a winner when completed.
I took a little bit of liberty and added pink knobs for the photo shoot since the original knobs are staying on the piece......but ...you know.....I just had to.....it's what I do.
{P.S. the super fly "hooray" banner was made by my sister, and you can check out more of her work in her etsy shop......cranny}

My friend lily is working on a new Spring jewelry line that will include moths, mini terrariums, beautiful metal bugs, and flowers. This is just a little sneaky peeky at one that I snagged for myself already. {selfish little stinky me!}
I promise to let you know when they are available for purchase in the etsy shop.
Get frothy.
Hope you all have a beautiful weekend!

FYI
...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?

Well....I am so tardy today....and it may have something to do with the fact that I was out until 3 am at the Hunger Games premier with my family. I am totally too old to see 3 am......those were the days of yore for sure!
This weekend for us will include a wedding, a cookout, planting window boxes, cleaning, organizing....etc. I have so much on my "to do list" for the house.......it has really taken a turn for the nutty! It is amazing what a new puppy throws into the mix!
Happy weekending!

Today, my daughter is off school and we are going to work on thank you gifts for friends... { my Tuesday post is a clue as to what we are making!} ...who helped me and encouraged me during the book process, photographing the house for a guest blog post coming up {thus the flowers}, lunch with Gigi, and some shopping to top off our day....
Now that the big push for the book is done, I am really enjoying having my Thursdays off again.....
