Feature & Giveaway :: Knit, Nicole, Knit!



My name is Nicole, and I knit so I don't kill people. Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but knitting really does keep me sane. I've been knitting for more than half my life, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. I knit wintertime accessories as well as props for baby photography, and I also make fun stud earrings. Since I was young, I've wanted to make hand-making my full time job. I'm not there yet, but I hope to in the near future.

Feature & Giveaway :: Reformed Metals



-About the Shop-

 It was only a matter of time until our eye for refurbishing and repurposing spilled out of our home into the outside world. We love the creative process involved in taking an item and stretching it beyond its original design, revealing its hidden possibilities. 

All of our metal originates in its raw unfinished state and is then upcycled, carefully hand painted, and sealed for indoor/outdoor home decor. Each color brings visual life to the item in different ways, that is why we are so happy to offer Custom Color options!

-The Giveaway-
Reformed Metal is giving the winner's choice of any piece in the shop up to a $15 dollar value.
Winner may pick item and color.
Giveaway open to US readers only. No purchase necessary to enter.
Ends May May 27

Correction

Sooo, it's not Google Friends Connect, but instead Google Reader that's disappearing July 1st. Sorry for confusing everyone! To my understanding, this will only be a problem if you following my blog using Google Reader. However, I'm not 100% sure on that, so I'll read up on this some more. If you do following using Google Reader, it would probably be a good idea to set up a Bloglovin' account and follow that way, so you can stay connected.
Again, SO sorry about the confusion! Obviously I was confused, too! Thanks for the comments correcting me on that one. I've deleted that last post to avoid further confusion.

Feature :: Kelly N. Photography


"Native Southern Californian now calling South Carolina home. 

I am a hair stylist by day, but I have always loved photography, from my first disc camera! Many years, classes, and experimenting later, I went digital in 2009. 
I love natural light photography. Flowers, trees and all of nature fascinates me and make me smile. I hope the smile is passed on through my images. 
Moving to the South has given me a whole new world to explore. The lush landscape and History provide much inspiration.

I hope you enjoy my art.
Thank you for your visit!"
