Tasha Tudor Centennial Events 2015


This Month of August,
marked the 100 year centennial
of author and illustrator Tasha Tudor!

Tasha Tudor
Aug 28, 1915 ~ June 18, 2008

 To Celebrate, 
many attended the:
Tasha Tudor Day 2015
* The Centenary Celebration*
Brattleboro VT
with the Tudor Family
and Friends!
 It was GREAT FUN!!!
..~..~..~..
((AND in honor 
of the event there will be 
A GIVE~A~WAY))!!!!


(I'm wearing Laura Ashley of course)!!
..~..~..~..
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"
http://tashatudormuseum.org/exhibits/
974 Western Brattleboro VT o5301



...where some were ready to rest!!



And enjoy sweet conversation 
and delicious Tasha's Welsh Breakfast Tea!



It was so wonderful to meet
new lovely friends!




                                       

There is always something new to
see! This exhibit 
"Longings Fulfilled" was very 
interesting !

Mama Mousiekin prepares a 
watercolor lesson of new techniques
learned in VT, with her daughter Missie  !!



Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper
and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.

and my Laura Ashley Teapot)!



We enjoyed tea with Tasha's daughter Bethany
and it was a very lovely time!

On route to home at an Antique Store
I found a most wonderful souvenir!!

  1. Thanks for taking so many photos of the event in Brattleboro. I will be visiting the museum next week myself! I hope they still have some of those items for sale at the museum. Did Natalie say when they're going to put Rookery Ramblings back on-line? Is she now back working for them?

  3. Oh, Linnie! What a wonderful journal this is. Such memories to hold dear in your heart, and thank you for sharing them. I cannot pick a favourite part at all.
    Do you see the shadows in the moon? I think it looks like a lady kneeling and bent over in her flower beds ~~~
    I am suffering greatly over the amazing terracotta pot {in which the magnificent birthday cake floats} as I would love it for a super container for my blueberries.
    Thank you for the giveaway, but please don't include my name because international postage is nightmarishly expensive.

  7. The celebration in Vermont looked beautiful! What a grand idea to recreate the floating cake from "Becky's Birthday"!! The watercolor demonstration looked like fun too. I smiled when I saw the photo of my mom from the NY celebration. : ) I will have to share that with her! I would love to enter your give-away. -Sarah

  8. Hello Linnie, This post is full of such joy and happiness! I adore all of your special photos of you and special kindreds who love Tasha Tudor.

  9. LINNIE DARLIN'!
    First of all, I am so very late due to school starting this week, and my schedule is very early. I have to get up now at 3:30 in order to get to my emails and other social media (that I love and will never give up!) so I missed this post...it is darling, with the corgi, with all the goodness of Tasha Tudor's style and life. How I long to be a part of an artistic celebration as such, to PLAY with friends like you, and to create such fun. What a great way to participate in the joy of such a person's contribution to art and literature. YOU LOOK GREAT! Now, off I run....

  11. Tasha would be delighted to be so honored with such a magnificent celebration in memory of her life and legacy. And, no doubt, she would be pleased that Ashley Maggie May was a special guest of honor. As for me, I am thinking I just must make myself a new apron...so many lovely ones here to admire.
