knock on wood.

i love this saying. one belief of this phrase is the association that wood and trees have with good spirits. it used to be considered good luck to tap trees to let the wood spirits within know you were there. and now, we rap our knuckles on a piece of wood to stave off bad luck.

this phrase is usually used when one is already experiencing some good fortune and hope that it will continue.

i have experienced such great fortune in my life and am continually knocking on wood.

if you’d like to knock on wood, you can right here.

faux wood, knock on wood, wood plate

out of the woods.

this summer i spent a LOT of time deep in the woods of vermont, and was apparently subliminally seduced by the thick landscape of trees. so many trees. i am obsessed, intrigued, fascinated, and completely in love with trees, tree trunks, tree leaves, tree droppings, etc . . .

i am working on a line of “wood” inspired items that will be ready soon . . . so stay tuned.
