found...
....i happened upon these trays the other day, and couldn't pass them up...
...they are metal, and the state detail and illustration on each one is just so fantastic..
...i plan to use them at the indie craft parade for this....
...awww yeah!...
{p.s. if you see your state...colorado, south dakota, utah, louisiana, oregon... and must have it, i will gladly sell them}

shrooms...
....can you even believe the spongy goodness displayed here?...and the color?...i want to squeeze it, and bite it so bad...
...we have had a lot of rain lately, and these beauties were sprouting in my flower beds....i kicked them over, and was instantly sad that i had uprooted them but thankful for the nature lesson in ultimate amazingness....

** thank you all so much for the birthday wishes.....he loved reading all of your responses.....especially all of the "handsome" comments! {wink!} **
meet faye.....
.....well friends...miss faye is one of the most intense projects i have done in a while....but there is something so satisfying about completing a beauty like her .... faye went from complete mess to fabulous ...and creating knack's first set of custom knobs was super fun as well! we'll see where that little venture leads...
....faye was created especially for the room of sweet baby lu, and will be on her way to portland next week....
.... and for all my special friends who have been waiting....i will be listing two new pieces in the etsy shop on friday, so...keep an eye out... hermione {giant gray buffet}, and lilith {turquoise chest} are coming up....
....happy monday...

....well my friends....as you can see it has been a very full week....some things i thought would get done ....did not...
...but here are some of the things that shaped this week:
1.so thankful that our furry friend {pictured above} made it through her surgery, even though the news does not look so good...and we are just trying to keep her from itching her staples out...
2. another piece of very sad furniture rescued...and the lines are just what a knack girl likes to see....
3. a surprise package in the mail from a dear reader...full of treats... these kinds of things amaze me....i'm so glad for constant reminders of goodness...
4. we have everything we need...
