Dear Barbra,

Considering the fact that I think you are THE most incredible person EVER, I was not surprised when you once again surpassed my greatest expectations and became an amazing best-selling author! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I knew that this book would be an absolute masterpiece from the second I heard about it, but after devouring every word and fawning over every magnificent picture, you even exceeded MY wildest dreams.

I picked the book up on the day it was released on my way home from work, and my insides melted the minute I held the book in my hands. I LITERALLY could not put it down. I flipped through the pages on the way home while I was driving, which was probably not the smartest thing to do, but I couldn’t help myself! I finally made it to my front door (miraculously in one piece) and spent the rest of the evening absolutely mesmerized by your every word. Just getting past the inside cover took me an hour. Seeing all of YOUR personal notes to yourself in YOUR handwriting and seeing your drawings and sketches was so cool! I examined each and every one of them over and over. When I was finally able to tear myself away from that and actually turn the page, it gave me chills to see your words, “My Passion for Design, A Private Tour”. The private tour part really got to me. I can now LITERALLY worship the ground you walk on!

From that point on, I was totally taken away and captivated by every glorious page. Reading your words and hearing your stories about each and every item in your home that means so much to you was just incredible to me. You just never cease to amaze me and your fascinating book brings out yet another dimension of your unending talent and brilliance. You are in a class all your own!

Needless to say, I could go on and on forever about how much I loved every detail of this “work of genius”. As I said, I literally can not stop reading it! I look forward to reading it over and over again, night after night, overcome with every emotion as I hold your beautiful long awaited masterpiece in my hands.

I will cherish this book forever Barbra! Thank you so much for writing it! I’ll be anxiously awaiting VOLUME TWO!!!!

With lots of LOVE, GRATITUDE, RESPECT and ADMIRATION,
