Destination Taos

I've always been a little enthralled by Taos. It's like no place on earth.Very unto its own with a unique spirit and plenty of magic. Once it even had two fabulus yarn shops, now sadly defunct, but that's another story.
 
I'm sitting by a kiva fireplace as I write and about 5 inches of soft snow fell overnight. It's gorgeous out there. Believe me, a mountain snow appeals to me more than east coast rain and sleet. Mostly I've been researching a location for this September's inspired knitting excursion and found just the place: the Hacienda del Sol, a gorgeous B&B overooking Taos sacred mountain. More on that later.
 
I've also tooled around and spent time with my friend, Faith, visiting her studio and art galleries.

Recent Comments I am delighted to find that you also write. I've been following your knitting site and was so happy that your novel is about an angel in New Orleans, well, maybe not "about" an angel, but it's in the title, so... I've visited New Orleans several times (Just 3) visiting my brother when he lived there and we combed through the cemeteries. That's where I found the angel who was sobbing with her head covered in grief for the passing of her sister. It was so moving that I have the photo framed in our hall. She's beautiful. Couldn't wait to order your book! Thanks!
