HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEATRIX POTTER with SUSAN BRANCH

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to  BEATRIX POTTER (MRS HEELIS)!!

Beatrix Potter

~Mrs, Heelis~ as she preferred to be called~

was not only a brilliant children's

author and illustrator but a

wonderful artist !

She also owned Herdwick sheep

in the Lake District of Cumbria

(and was the first women President of the

Herdwick Sheep Breeders Association)

and bought and owned a huge amount

of land to preserve and protect against

the industrial  revolution and for the

grazing lands and farms along

with the mere beauty!

 She left it all to the National Trust

Last year my "grafted" daughter Beth and I went on an adventure to celebrate Beatrix's 150 Birthday in Brewster NY with the Brewster Ladies and their special guest speaker Susan Branch! 

 
      We packed up into the RV with all the pets!

And enjoyed a FUN adventure!!

The Brewster Library was booked

too full so they moved next door

to the Baptist Church

Downstairs of the library was a

HUGE used book sale and we were

very early so we were able to find some

wonderful bargain books!

Soon after packing our treasure books

away we walked over to the church

The ladies were busy getting refreshments ready

"Girl Friends" arrived 

Many ladies coveted this

beautiful National Trust scarf!!

Susan and Joe arrived and took our picture!!

and Susan tried to behave herself

but teased some with a peek at Petey!  

Betsy treated us to an 

educational slide show about

Beatrix and the Beatrix Potter Society

and then she interviewed 

Susan about her visit to Hilltop!

They showed us a lovely movie 

Susan read from her book

"A Fine Romance" the part

were she visited Hill Top

We sang Happy Birthday..

and the ladies blew out the candles!

After a lovely time talking about Beatrix

we all had a chance to meet Susan and Joe

and Joe was so kind to sign

 my cook book by him!

 Susan greeted and signed books

and talked with hundreds of ladies 

and still had a personal bright smile

for everybody! 

and had GREAT SHOES!!

 I was thrilled to share a

photo of Mommy 93 ignoring

me while she read Susan's book!

and she sent a note to Mommy

 Mommy ignoring me!!

 It was so fun to gather with friends

and also meet new ones!
