.....well my friends.......ever since my clarity moment things started changing like crazy at knack........doors slammed shut....... new doors flung open ....

......I knew this year would be a year of change.....I was running out of room and the business needs were changing.........I knew that I needed to start looking for more square footage.......it's just that I was so happy with my little 600 square foot space......and how it felt like home every time I walked through the front door. It's called the "comfort zone"....and I didn't want to leave.....it had served me so well...but deep inside I knew it was time........and that was exciting and scary all at the same time......

..... then, the most miraculous thing happened......the perfect storefront was waiting for knack to come in and breathe new life into it's forgotten space........ take all of the bars off the windows....add some color to the walls.....a fresh coat of paint on the storefront and awnings....welcoming old and new friends....
....adding signs of life.....signs of sparkle and energy that have been missing for a long time....

...I'm so excited about this new chapter....the blood is pumping my friends....and did I mention that it is 1500 square feet? .......so there is plenty of room to grow and produce my little wooden people that I am so passionate about.........and it will feel like home........soon....

...painters start today....... there are many pictures to come......

.....thank you for the love and support that you all give.......it's so awesome......

**THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SWEET COMMENTS AND SUPPORT OF MY MOVE.....SERIOUSLY....YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! I'M SO THANKFUL FOR EACH ONE OF YOU!**

This is extremely exciting... I can only imagine! I have dreamed of having my own shop one day, looking onto you path of business... definitely helps inspire me. I'm sure you are going to have a ton of fun moving and making that place look great (eh well maybe not the moving part). You are blessed! CONGRATS!!!!!!!

You are hilarious. I thought, "She doesn't make dolls! What is she talking about wooden people?" But then it hit me :)

I know you'll make good use of the extra space. Enjoy it!

Barb,

I am SO excited for you! That is so awesome. I am VERY impressed that you are going for it, desspite of all the reasons you could fear taking that next big step. A lesson to us all that the economy isn't a reason to hold back or live in fear. Congratulations! I hope to visit some day.

CONGRATS BARB ... and knack! :)
