Diane
Retired from library. Love to travel, read, still take classes to learn new things.
I am married for 44 years and have three children and six grandchildren. My husband retired from the US Air Force after 30 years. We loved military life and miss it to this day. We now live in a retirement community that has three golf courses and we have a very full and active life. We live close to Austin, Tx. I am originally from Illinois and my husband is from Brooklyn,NY. We met in college. Two of our children live in California and the other just moved here to Dallas. It is nice to have some family around. We travel a lot and have been to Europe several times. We planned to go to Viet Nam this past April but onthe way, I fell and broke my wrist and a vertebrae in my back----so no Viet Nam this year. I am still going to therapy for my back. Novica is my favorite shopping place as everything is so different and beautiful that it is sometimes hard to choose. I have never bought anything that I did not like and I thank all the wonderful artists.
What I like most about Novica:
I love the "uniqueness" of each thing that I order. It is wonderful to know that someone used their artistic skill to make this thing that I ordered. I like to read about the artists. I also like the feeling of helping them to maintain a good life for their families and yet still be able to do something that they love to do.

Testimonial for Wayan Sarjana
I received my amethyst ring yesterday. I couldn't be happier with it. This young man is very creative and I will order his things again.
Testimonial for Wayan Rendah
Thank you, Wayan, for the beautiful carving called "anniversary embrace". The wood is so beautiful and your talent of carving it is spectacular. I am so proud to show it in my home
Testimonial for Ketut Widen
I collect frogs and this "lucky" black frog is definitely my favorite. I like the way the artist carved the pose that the frog is in. It sits in a prominent place on my living room table.
Testimonial for Handaru Baskoro
Handaru, I want to thank you for making the beautiful mask, Star Shadow, that I just received. I am collecting different masks and have them on the wall in my dining room. Yours may be the smallest but it certainly stands out due to it's unique beauty. In fact, I liked it so much that I just ordered another called Man of Mystery. You have great talent. Diane Baker
Testimonial for Harish Kathuria
I ordered the garnet peacock earrings made by Harish. They are absolutely beautiful--so delicate and yet very bold in appearance. I've had many compliments and I pass them on to you, Harish and tell you that I plan to buy more of your beautiful jewelry.
Testimonial for Hernan Rivas Samuel
Hernan, I love the jewelry box I received today. The painting with the little house, the trees and the humingbird on the lid almost tell a story. You do beautiful work and I will keep my special jewelry in this special box.Thank you!
Testimonial for Ploy Intha
I love these jade and silver earrings because they are so delicate and elegant looking at the same time. The silver work is very intricate.
Testimonial for Alaya Cholprasertsuk
Alaya, I received the owl tunic blouse the other day and am planning to wear it to a neighborhood party tonight. I absolutely love it. I love the shades of green and the fit is perfect. I can hardly wait for my friends to see it. Thank you and I will be ordering something from you again.
Testimonial for Rodrigo Galindo Achalma
I ordered Rodrigo's "Rainbow Nativity" candleholder. What a great imagination he has and how well he uses it in his art. I've had so many comments on the piece as I've used it at Christmas that I will use it all year. THank you for sharing your talent with us!!
