New Pillows +Moms
It seems like every day at Knack is full of new surprises....well, it doesn't just seem that way...it IS always full, and always surprising!New products arriving, {like all of these gorgeous pillows above! Also available in the online shop here}, beautiful new furniture pieces being created weekly, and friends and shoppers stopping by...{some of them, gorgeous supermodels from NYC! not even kidding!}Having Angie at the shop every day has been so awesome.....it is so very nice to have someone so talented, motivated, and creative as part of the Knack team ....and we have all kinds of creative ventures up our sleeves and rolling around in our heads. In fact, Angie hand dyed and created the beautiful blue shibori pillows exclusively for Knack.....and each one is so special and unique. Grab one while you can, and we will have shibori dyed napkins coming soon!Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there! I hope this weekend is a special time for you with those you love! No matter what category we find ourselves in as women....let us strive to nurture positive relationships with others, invite others into our homes and lives with grace and love, and partner with others in order to bring out the best in each life we touch.xo,Barb
Made for this
Such sweetness in these words.We all have struggles, we are all imperfect.....but we can all show love to others....we can make others feel their worth and value....and we can be intentional about choosing our community.xo,Barb
Are you inside or outside?
When I came across this quote, it made me pause. I stared at it for a long time deciding whether or not I understood it....and if I liked what it implied. The longer I stared, the more it sank in, and this is what it means to me:"walking inside your story and owning it" = humbleness, transparent honesty, admitting wrong, forgiveness......real life."standing outside and hustling for worthiness"= understanding who you really are, but not wanting to show that to anyone...rather the opposite......thus the constant game of appearances, scrambling, and defeat.....fake.Don't hustle for worthiness.....it is a hamster wheel. Instead, choose a life of intentional authenticity....no matter how soul baring that may be.xo,Barb
Do What You Say

Is this not the truth? How many times do we hear ourselves and others talk big and do little? It is not cool......not cool at all.Only say what you know you will do.....and do not let pride creep in and take over your words. That leads to empty words and promises....and ultimately a lack of credibility.xo,Barb
