Oh, Facebook. What can’t you do? Reconnect me with old friends, make it easier to know what my buds are up to. You’ve also introduced me to new people and things. When I saw that my pal Martin Giese (a talented artist) was in a new relationship with someone named Jude Gries (Giese/Gries: I know, I know!), of course I had to click to see more. Turns out that (among other arty things), she creates custom decorative hand-painted cabinet hardware. The knobs are made of wood and finished so that they look like porcelain or ceramic, but they won’t break, chip, or crackle. What kid wouldn’t love these on a dresser?
