Found Goodness
On Monday I found this goodness in my mailbox! "What goodness is this" you ask? Well..... for the last two days I have been working on editing the galleys for my book! It has been quite a mind blowing experience to flip actual paper pages and gaze at the complete manuscript in print for the very first time. My edits are now complete, so back to San Francisco they go today!Next step.....Cover design!....oh. my. dear. goodness.xo,Barb

....I went to an estate sale a few days ago, and these two sets of little ceramic piggy shakers caught my eye. The owner of the estate collected pigs, and oh. my. goodness. there were lots of pigs....but I thought these two sets had amazing quirk and personality. I put my four little piggies in a box......and then I stuck my stickers on a totally awesome bed, and a smashing little chest of drawers.....and was on my way saying "wee, wee, wee " all the way home.
Oink.
Oink.
{The piggies are available for sale in the Knack booth at Antiques on Augusta, or I can ship them to you if you are an out of "towner". 15.00 a set +shipping}

FYI
I have gotten some sweet notes over the past week from friends that I have yet to meet in person...but who I sure hope to meet one day so that I can hug their necks and thank them for being so awesome....
I just wanted all to know that your notes and love are pinned on the walls and bulletin boards of the studio so that I can read them and be reminded of great friends on a daily basis...
......this is what makes the studio truly colorful and beautiful to me.
{P.S. I had to include the last photo for my Gigi. It is my brand new Knack apron that she surprised me with at lunch a couple of weeks ago! Isn't it awesome?! The tag inside says "sewn with love" and then her name..... it is so special!}

I found these awesome metal bins at the flea market a few weeks ago.....and I just think they are....
AWESOME
I think all three have already been spoken for....but I wanted to show them to you all anyway.
They are found goodness indeed.

The two pieces of furniture that I have been working on this week....making repairs, stripping, sanding.....the works.....have been two of the craziest pieces full of found goodness I have seen in a while! I have never seen so many scissors, rubber bands, nail files, rollers, pencils, costume jewelry, perfume.....etc!
This photo is what I saw when I opened the top drawer of the desk....and when I dumped it out it was amazing what I found. Then I opened up the bottom drawer and discovered that the previous owner had an obsession with scissors and the such.
I am working on getting a photograph of all the goodness I found....I want to lay it all out in groupings....you all will laugh your fannies off.
Job love.

While perusing through magazines last night, I came across this fan! I think the design is great, the colors are wonderful, and check out that on/off switch at the top! I would want to flip that thing all day long!
May snag one of these for the screened in porch this summer!
