Talk about making my day! Working through my reading list at Bloglovin’, imagine how surprised I was when I hit The Jersey Gem and saw this! I told y’all in my last Sunday Coffee that Meg (of The Jersey Gem) was talented. Well, if this ain’t quite the rendition, I don’t know what is!
An illustration of yours truly (and in my fave vest! ) by Meg of the Jersey Gem.
And here’s the inspiration, from WVW: Fall Preview:
Woot! Let’s celebrate. Tomorrow is the first day of September, and in my head, that marks the beginning of fall. BOOT TIME!

If that isn’t a compliment I don’t know what is. Terrific drawing – she certainly is talented, and new to me. Off to check out her blog now!
P.S. I am with you on the joy September 1st brings – boot weather! Too bad the temps here are in the mid 90s this week. BOO.
