perfect for now...

I have these ludite plates for sale at Knack! I absolutely love the simple black and white graphics, and the fact that they are dishwasher safe! 

 So much so, that I bought some for myself, and am using them in place of paper plates! 

Set of four dinner plates: 32

Set of four salad/dessert plates: 29

 It's a deadlines kind of week, and all of these guys have to be done by Friday! I took on a couple extra for a sweet client who is moving to Chicago for 2 years, so there are 5 pieces total!  Miss "A" has just been too good to me...so,

I am currently in the studio cranking away...in case you were wondering! {wink!}

The weather has been gorgeous here this week....finally....and I am loving it! 

I have so much energy! Much more than in the Spring...how bout you?!

if you build it, they will come....

Hello friends! I hope you all had an awesome weekend! I had a super great one that included a little shopping spree with a beautiful college friend that I have not seen in a while....an estate sale where I purchased 6....yes 6 fantastic pieces that are totally knackable....{more on that later}... and rain!

As if that wasn't great enough, I have some very exciting news to share with you, and two beautiful ladies for you to meet! As my little Knack grows, new needs and opportunities arise, and I have been looking for team members to come on board and fill those needs. 

So, I'm very excited to introduce you to Krystle who will be coming on part time, to help me with events, sales, and marketing. This girl has some serious energy, great personality, and a lingo like my own... which immediately drew me in! We met just a few weeks ago, but  have found that we have so much in common....even down to the fact that we have the exact same eyes.....which is a weird detail....I know....but I have never met anyone that had my same crazy eye colors.....until now! We are both so excited about all of the time we will get to spend together and the fantastic opportunities ahead!

And then we have Lydia who has taken over the books! Woot Woot! For those of you who know me well......you know how relieved I am to be able to pass this along! Miss Lydia is whipping me into shape and getting me so organized it is not even funny! I should have done this a long ....long time ago! There have been some painful 3 to 4 hour long sessions of hashing out numbers and such until I am literally feverish.....but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I have known Lydia for 7 {my favorite number!} years, and she has truly become a part of our family. What started out, as a babysitting job here and there quickly turned into the only person we trusted our shorties with, and she has literally been the only babysitter my children have known. She is trustworthy, responsible, dependable, punctual, and the most organized person I know. I trust her with anything and everything that is important to me.

I am so excited, and grateful that two ladies as beautiful and talented as these would want to be a part of Knack. It is amazing I tell you!

Have a frabjous day friends!
