oh how i love november...



there is something about november that always makes me feel, well, at home....it's when the chill in the air is pretty constant, the down comforters are in full use looking like plumped whip cream; calling me in to nestle, to get warm for the night...






the leaves now have fallen, so the landscape is ruggedly beautiful as nature turns to it's own sleep...i begin to think of the holidays, pulling out recipes from magazines to be put on my pile of 'good intentions', and hiding a gift here and there for somebody that i love...







warmed apple cider and hot chocolate go hand in hand with my constant mugs of coffee throughout the day...friends drop in to warm themselves up with coffee and conversation, hubby's warm and comforting dinners by the candles as the sun now sets so early end the day perfectly...



it is a wonderful time to start my fire in the stove, turn on some music and savor the thoughts of what will come, and what will be while i'm painting...





the most perfect time of year...

Well well WELL—MISS DIANE!



The MINUTE I unwrapped it—and 5 mins after I stopped STARING at it… and fawing over it—

I tried to call you to tell you in person (ish) how BEAUTIFUL this board is… the color is gorgeous and sooo authentic and warm…

This may well be my favorite board so far…of course, that may change when I get my next 2 diane allison originals!



Really—

I’m ALMOST speechless I love it so much… it’s made me all emotional and so in awe of your artistry…

I feel like we are kindred spirits in so many ways—

Thank you again for putting so much of yourself into your art..

I love it so much…



Have great weekend my friend…

Hope eli’s back 100% soon..

Love,

Rene.

I received my piece today, and I just LOVE it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to find the perfect piece to add to my collection.

I have hinted that I might just be in need of one more to John, so hopefully he will be calling you soon.

Thanks for such a special piece, I love every single one that you have made for me.
