Tasha Tudor Day 2014
Photo from my Richard brown book's.
Today Tasha Tudor would have been 99 years old.
The day is drawing to a close here in England & what a wonderful day we have had remembering Tasha Tudor.
The twins & I celebrated by watching the Take Peace dvd, reading many of her books, painting, a dolls tea party & enjoying a lovely cup of English tea with a piece of fruit cake.
I do love boiled fruit cake. This is the cake I will be making for Christmas but with marzipan & royal icing on.
These are a selection of the twins books, the Christmas one's we only read in December.
Painting in Tasha Tudor style.
Such concentration from Mary.
They are always together.
Kitty loves to paint, she says she is going to be an artist when she is a big girl.
I wish she wouldn't become a big girl, this age is so perfect.
Here are their finished paintings.
How many hours have I spent going through these books again & again!
Dolls tea party.
It was so wet today so they had to play indoors.
I do enjoy knitting, back done & am on the front now.
So such inspiration, Tasha taught me to be happy in the way we live & be comfortable in who you are.

We are not the only one's celebrating, so please pop over to Rookery Ramblings for their blog link up.
Hope you all enjoy this post, we had a wonderful day.

A beautiful post today. I'm a Tasha fan too . I'm following you now so I'll be back. Blessings
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful home, I think it is exquisite! I am also a UK based fan of Tasha, first discovering her in the early 1990's. I am so happy I found your reply on Cathy's Morning Musings ~~~waving~~~
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have found a English fan of Tasha Tudor. Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteWhat a lovely way to celebrate Tasha Tudor's birthday. Your daughters paint beautifully! Maybe they'll be the next Beatrix Potter and Tasha Tudor. It must be so much fun to have tea with them. I just became a grandmother to a little girl this year after having 3 sons. Who knows, by the time they get too old to want to play tea party you'll have granddaughters!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on becoming a Grandmother Cathy, I can't wait to become one. Thank you for your kind words about the blog, I am really enjoying doing it & I hope other enjoy it too.
