 To Celebrate, 
many attended the:
Tasha Tudor Day 2015

..~..~..~..
((AND in honor 
of the event there will be 
A GIVE~A~WAY))!!!!

..~..~..~..
After arriving in Vermont
I was joined by a fellow friend from
a Facebook group called 
"Take Peace" Suzanne






The Birthday gathering was held
in a church building that was perfectly
fitting for such an event, as the
 structure reminded one of 
Tasha's "Corgi Cottage"!





                                               



Sweet Ladies greeted us...

(Natalie Wise in her beautiful Laura Ashley dress)



..and there were "Goodie Bags" and 
Raffle Tickets!!


The prizes were covetous
including a Grandfather clock 
made by Seth Tudor





                      

           







There was a Floating Cake!

Like the one in Becky's Birthday!!


















Winslow Tudor ,
(Tasha's Grandson)
made the Cake and the 
"Boiled White Frosting"
from Tasha's Cookbook!





So many of the ladies
wore pretty dresses and 
Tasha styled aprons!!



Amy Tudor and daughter Ellie
were so very busy with so many things !!


Marjorie Tudor hosted
a Watercolor workshop!


 


 


It was very interesting,
informative
 and great fun!!
 I learned some very helpful, new 
techniques !! 
..~..~..~..~..~..


Soon a luncheon with Tea 
was served and then on to the 
exciting raffle!






(the winner of the clock she was so thrilled)!!



There was a wonderful 
slide presentation given by
Jeanette Knazek ~historian!




Ashley Maggie May was 
a very well behaved guest
enjoyed by all!!







Soon we were saying our 
Thank yous and Good byes....
..~..~..~..~..~..
..and then we were off to 
visit  the 
Tasha Tudor Museum!
"Longings Fulfilled"

...where some were ready to rest!!
