Etcetera






This week flew by, which is good and bad. Good, because so much was accomplished...AND,  it means that in a few hours I will be headed to Florida for a week of doing nothing but sitting on the beach....reading....drawing.....doodling.....constantly scanning the water for sharks that are coming to eat my children...ironically, watching shark week {my favorite week of television...simply mesmerizing!}.....slathering on 100+ sunscreen {and I will still get burned}...and hopefully a few runs on the beach. I plan on leaving my computer behind, but promise to be back a week from  Monday with some fresh new Knack happenings, and probably lots and lots of pictures from the beach.

The bad from this week, is that it was my last week with miss Hattie! Our fabulous time together in the studio has come to an end, and she is headed back to school in a few weeks for her final year! Yay! I have so enjoyed this sweet helper who has been nothing short of amazing and simply a pleasure to work beside in every way! The bar has been set very high my friends! This has been one of the busiest Summers to date for Knack, and I am so thankful for every bit of it. I could not have done it all without you Hattie girl!

Lastly, I had a request for an update on the planter piece in front of the studio! I am happy to report that it is doing awesome, and I have had so many appreciative comments from my neighborhood friends about the happiness it adds to the street! You can compare the photos above to this post when I had just planted them...I can't even believe how much they have grown! I guess you could say they are thriving right? They get lots of love......and they give so much love right back. It's all so good.

Have the best weekend, and I will see you all soon!

to simply say that you are the shiz, just doesn't cover it all. Have a wonderful time on the beach with your familia. Can't wait to see pics. PS - love the newspaper banner in the window - awesomeness. xo

Little late, but let me say welcome to Florida! We may have lightning/thunderstorms daily and nightly [well, here in the southwest portion] but that's just b/c we want to put on a show for you:)

Enjoy your well-deserved holiday and the sunshine with it!
