There is a giveaway there.
I was so honored to have met Tasha right before her 90th birthday.
It was a thrill for me as I had long appreciated her
lifestyle and her handiwork as a children's book illustrator,
a cook, a gardener, and talent for making beautiful things.
In my mind I can picture her writing the small notes to her children, the wren posts,
the puppet shows, walking through forget-me-knots, and painting at her
kitchen table with models of small animals and birds.
If you don't know about Tasha Tudor for sure explore and you will be captivated.
She was definitely a "Strong Woman" and one I admired.

Happy Tasha Tudor day. You lucky girl to have meet Tasha. Something I am sure you will always remember. Clarice
Thank you for the reminder. Love her!
I think I'll go look up some Tasha Tudor writings and images now! Like you, I admired her work and her lifestyle, which I largely came to know through Victoria magazine. Happy Birthday, Tasha, and how incredible that you were actually able to meet her!
I am sure she influenced my love for foxgloves! And gardening in general!
She was a remarkable and unique woman; a true American original.
You MET her? How cool is that? I've always admired her and her work. Happy day for you! For us all!
How wonderful that you got to meet her! She had an influence on many of our lives, through her beautiful illustrations, strong creativity and her sunny attitude.
How fortunate we were to stroll that New England country path to her gardens and have the chance to meet Tasha Tudor. What a beautiful experience!
How marvelous to have met her. I remember first reading about her in Victoria magazine back in the good old days under Nancy Lindemeyer. What a fascinating woman.
She was a very special lady - just as ladies used to be, and before we were named 'gals'!!!!!
I recall you told me you had met her.
