Tasha Tudor

Hi! Today I'm joining a group to celebrate the art of one of my most favorite people in the whole world. Tasha Tudor. She was such an extraordinary person. She lived in the old style her entire life. Please visit her website done by her family. All the children and grandchildren contribute. It is a wonderful time. So take a cup of tea and visit for awhile. Tasha Tudor and Family
Her art is just amazing. Pick up any book and look at any picture and there is so much detail you could sit for days and not find it all. She did it all in the old fashioned way. And they are books you just feel warm inside to visit. Some are written by her and others are just illustrated by her. Such as The Night Before Christmas and Fairy Tales. She also had a doll series and the Corgiville series. All are classics and all are so wonderful. Here is a sample of my collection of her books.


There are books for all seasons here are my Easter and Prayer ones


There is Pumpkin Moonshine for Fall (sorry it's packed with my Fall stuff so no picture) and Christmas ones


We found the website and found that she had signed copies of some of her books, so I went on and picked one out for my Christmas one year. After I got out on my own I "bought everything I wanted" so my Mother found it hard to buy for me so I pick out my Christmas. It works ok I get what I want and if she doesn't say "Oh you know what it is we got it at..." I even forget!!! Sorry back to the books so I picked out the cook book. I love kitchen and cook books so I thought this would be my perfect signed copy !


and here is her sweet signature

I could have planned this better and shown inside pictures but I don't think that way. Please go look for her books. I'm sure you all know someone or yourself who will love one of her beautiful versions of these favorites. The 23rd Psalm is my favorite and to have her beautiful version is just so wonderful.
It was heartbreaking to find a tribute to Tasha in the December 2008 issue of Early American Life. She was not covered on the news as some of the other celebrities in the world and with knowing what I do about her it was probably the way she would have wanted. This was posted on her site by her family.

It is with great sadness that we must tell you Tasha Tudor, 92, passed away in her Vermont home on June 18, 2008 surrounded by family and friends.

Happy Birthday Tasha, She would only want to be remembered in a happy way!

Hugs, Lisa
