Found Goodness...
One of the shops that I FOUND, and stands out in my mind as a favorite from my latest trip to NY, is Catbird. It is just one of those stores that is small, but packed to the gills with handpicked and perfectly curated goodness in every price range. I came home with this "B" necklace, and have not taken it off yet....well, because it is tied on, and I can't........but I love it so much I like it that way.
....and then some of you probably spotted this garland in my introduction post on Monday, but I could not resist bringing one home with me.....so. stinkin'. great.
....I definitely recommend a visit here when you are in the Brooklyn way.

First of all, let me just say that I really enjoyed perusing all of the fun artists and their goods at Indie Craft Parade this past weekend! So many fantastic goodies to be had, but the one little thing that I walked away with as my treasure was a set of magnets by Jordan Grace. I got a set of four with two handsome bearded men, and two sassy ladies. I just absolutely love them, and think they are the cutest things ever. Get you some!

I did a little buying yesterday, and purchased large and small furniture pieces....{19 to be exact}, and some styling pieces as well.
One of my favorite finds, besides the fantastic furniture, is this chalk portrait drawing. Check this sister out! I can't tell if she is giving the creepy or sultry stare.....but I totally dig her.
The frame and glass that accompanied this picture were not my favorite, so I took the portrait out of the frame, and just used Japanese tape to attach her to the wall. Man, I just love her.....and now I need to name her.
She is going to show up in some really cool places!

It has been a busy week around here! My little "B" started junior high, and "C" started high school... I feel like I have been over the hill, through the woods and back again! My head is spinning with all of the "beginnings", and I feel like an ATM machine with the button stuck on "please take your cash!" I am going to have to have a chat with these peeps....especially the algebra teacher who insists that my son needs a 125.00 calculator. What the what? She doesn't know who she's messing with. Just kidding!{I love you miss algebra teacher!}
Moving on...
Many of you know that I enjoy taking pictures, and have all kinds of apps on my iphone for such things. I have several different camera apps, but the one that I find myself using the most, and the one I have been shooting all of the first day of school pictures with this week, is Instagram.
Remember, how I challenged you all to photograph every day events, and to be inspired by the little things that get overlooked ? This app is perfecto for just that! It is my favorite way to snap a quick photo, edit it in two seconds, and save it. You can also publish to Facebook and Twitter with the push of a button as well. Seriously it is my fave, and you can look up those that you want to follow and keep up with their photos as well. Photo sharing at its best.
If you have an iphone and do not already use Instagram, I highly suggest a download.......and then look me up.... my user name is knackstudio. {all one word.} I would love to see what captures your attention, and you feel is photo worthy.
The best part?.....It's FREE!

Don't forget:
If you all follow me on facebook at all....I am in the process of changing over to a new page, so please "Like" this new page if you would like to keep up with me. I will be shutting down the old page as soon as the transition starts winding down.
Thanks!
