Well....I finally got them all spray painted, drainage holes drilled, rocks at the bottom, and planted with sweet little plants!! I have delivered about half of them to their intended recipients...and hopefully will get the rest delivered today and over the weekend! 
I enjoyed making these as gifts for my friends.....and it was so fun to see their faces light up as I carried in their bright little flower garden :} 
Have a great weekend! I will see you on Monday with a sweet little desk makeover!

 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!

Introductions

Meet "Cleridae". Her name comes from a species name of the chequered beetle family and goes right along with the amazing wood and brass beetle knobs that complete her design plan. I have been waiting for the perfect piece to put these amazing knobs on, and this navy desk won! Woo Hoo!
 I am loving the color navy lately, and this is the first of many pieces in this beautiful color.  I love, love, love this piece....it is rich, classy and timeless.....seriously, I will have a hard time letting go of her.
"Cleridae" is in the etsy shop, and available for purchase! I don't think she will be around long, {I may decide to keep her!} so if you want her....get her!

Whew! It has been a busy, busy week around here creating some new furniture, taking on new custom projects.....and due to a certain sweet little addition to our family!! Most of you have probably already checked her out on the Knack facebook page......but if not, head over there to meet little miss "Roo"! We are a little puffy eyed due to lack of sleep.... and are making many potty trips outside....but Roo is a very sweet little puppy and we love her to pieces already.
I hope you all have a succulent weekend! {hardy har har!!}

I tried to capture some pictures of my drawer finds the other day...there was just so much! It was so crazy to go through all of the goodness. I think my favorite find is the big black handled scissors.
Old school.
Happy weekending!

Well you all....I must start off with a confession: I WAS A TOTAL SLACKER THIS WEEK!  I had every intention of finishing some furniture for a post on Monday, but would you believe that I played hookie from the studio all week?! I can't remember the last time that has happened......but with the big deadlines behind me, and the constant push for the last few months....this week was a perfect week for me to take a break......and I totally did! 
I really enjoyed my author photo shoot, and spent some time preparing for that......but the rest of my time this week was spent at home doing laundry, making smores beside my new fire pit, my son's first soccer games, my daughter's basketball games, coffee and lunch with friends and packing for our trip today to see my brother and his family in NC. It was a great , great week......and I will be ready to be back in the studio next week! I am not making any promises.....but I will try to have some furniture goodness ready to go at some point next week!
 I am really looking forward to hopping in the car with my parents, hubs and kids today and heading to spend the weekend with sweet family. It will be so good....and my sister in law who is an amazing artist, crazy thrifter, and all around creative soul.....has already told me of her plans for us.....and it is going to be so fun!
{p.s. the above photos are more sneekie peekies from the book photo shoots! I know you love me.....}
Have a great weekend friends!
