Tasha Tudor Day ♥...

Joyfully remembering & celebrating the life and art of Tasha Tudor today

 on what would have been her 98th Birthday.

Tasha's  family continues her legacy through their lovely blog Rookery Ramblings

 {and wonderful newsletter}

 where they are celebrating today with a giveaway { a rose plant from the Tudor family garden in Vermont }

painting joy

I feel a kinship with Tasha ~

her style

Independence

love of Nature & Home

sitting with my watercolours

{I went looking through my art cupboard and found 2 old paintings I had done from the 90's}

growing up in England & Canada, we had a rabbitry in the garden, so a little bunny here and there in a picture feels right at home ♥

gathering joy

&

keeping the company of blossoms

be  it on watercolour paper

or woodland walks ...

taking joy

 in the "little things"

here is the newest member of our garden :-)

we call him blue and he will sit in the lilac bush next to our kitchen window

and squawk letting us know the almonds are gone

and he is still hungry!

we sat on the deck enjoying a cup of tea watching blue fly back and forth until all the almonds were gone & he was content.

tasting joy

in our vegetable garden

 not worried about all the tomatoes turning, as they will be turned into green tomato chutney

I cherish

 &

 read joy

in my ever growing collection of Tasha Tudor books.

 & love the quote in "Tasha Tudors Garden"  by Tovah Martin

"Her hands

are always busy

and her head

is forever filled

with dreams"

~Happy Tasha Tudor Day~
