The Knack Shop... and Online Things
With all of my time off over Christmas, I had plenty of time to think about Knack. Things that I should do, could do, would do, want to do, and AM going to do. Phew! That's a lot of "do's"!I am one of those people that absolutely relishes a new year. I love a fresh start and the opportunities a new year brings. I love making goals. {not to be confused with resolutions however} Some of my goals are ones that are definitely within reach...but then there are always, always "pie in the sky" goals as well. These lofty "pie in the sky" goals are the dreamer in me, and always the ones that challenge and excite me to no end.One of the things that I knew I should do....{but was scared to}.....was delete my etsy shop. I have been on etsy since 2007/2008 and it was a fantastic tool for me. Etsy allowed me to get my furniture out to a huge audience, and is the very reason that my furniture resides in homes all across the country and world. Now do you understand why I was so scared? {Eep!} You may wonder what I hit my head on, or what in the world I am thinking.....but you see....I have a fully powered online shop within my own website as well. So, trying to keep up with both made for extra steps and extra work for me....and this year it is about simplifying and working even smarter not harder.When I moved to Lois Ave about a year and a half ago, I closed my antique booth that I had run for the past 6 years. I did that because I now have the most beautiful shop and showroom space... and wanted to focus solely on this location. It was a very difficult decision, because the antique booth had been such a security blanket for me for years...and kept the bills paid for the first studio that I had. Etsy was the same thing for me...security and comfort. However, I tend to like risk...and so first the antique booth went and now my "etsy crutch" is going away too. I have paid for a beautiful website and online shop...and I need to utilize that money and time to the best of its ability!As I was thinking about this post yesterday, sitting here at my desk in the shop, I grabbed my camera....and these photos emerged.This is Knack.All of these fun things are available in the online shop ....{that you may or may not have known about...but now you most certainly are aware exists!} I ship out most orders the day they are placed so that you can have your goodies in just a few days. The furniture takes a bit longer due to the carriers schedule, but normally pieces arrive within 2-3 weeks.Take a gander.....pillows are 50% off right now....and to celebrate this new year decision, I am creating a 20% off coupon for the entire online shop.
