Today is Tasha Tudor's birthday. Born August 28, 1915 was a beloved American illustrator who lived a simple, full life to the ripe old age of 93. Her first story was Pumpkin Moonshine, published in 1938, but my favorite Tasha books are 1 is One, a child's counting book, and A Time To Keep which tells about the changing seasons. Her books are the kind that I plan to read aloud to the grandchildren and give for special birthdays and holidays. (It's almost time to order some Pumpkin Moonshine) Tasha was not only a writer/illustrator, but she was a homemaker in every sense of the word. She loved handcrafts like weaving, knitting, candle dipping and doll making. She also enjoyed keeping goats and chickens and made cheese from her own goats' milk and cooked delicious, wholesome foods from her eggs and from fruits and vegetables that grew on her land. Every season had its pleasures and its work to be done, and home was the core of Tasha's life's work. Working in the garden in autumn is delightful, with the clean smell of frost-bitten ferns and witch hazel in the air and no insects to bother about. There are always great numbers of bulbs to be put in the ground -- over two thousand this fall, counting the lilies. The other day I heard the first Canada geese go over as I was planting. Their calls give me such a primordial feeling. And to see a flock of snow geese flying over the white birch trees by the mailbox on a fair day is a sight to take the breath away. ~Tasha Tudor from The Private World of Tasha Tudor It is precisely a comment like this that makes me appreciate her. Perhaps it's because I live on the land, live in the country, and because I see so much beauty in my own surroundings. I won't be planting two thousand bulbs this fall, but I will put a few in the ground. I won't be spinning wool this winter, but I'll be feeding my sheep. I probably won't be illustrating a children's book, but I'll be drawing little crayon sketches with my grandchildren. I appreciate what I call Tasha's "quiet life." Not glamorous, not overdone, but instead -- quiet, simple, beautiful. Tasha Tudor, you've always inspired me. Happy Birthday! For more interesting posts about Tasha Tudor Day, click Storybook Woods.

Geluk is niet afhankelijk van de dingen buiten ons, maar van de manier waarop we de dingen zien. Leo Tolstoi. ...
Esta adorable anciana nació el 28 de Agosto de 1915, y murió el 18 de Junio de 2008, dedicó su vida a ilustrar los libros de cuentos con los que han soñado varias generaciones de niños: Pumpkin Moonshine, Mamma Oca, The secret garden...y así hasta llegar a los más de 100 libros. Ella decía que había nacido en el siglo equivocado y que era una reencarnación de una dama de la época victoriana, así vivió todos los días de su vida, en un mundo de belleza y de amor por las cosas sencillas . A pesar de su éxito con sus dibujos, continuó viviendo sola en la pequeña cabaña donde nació rodeada de un hermoso jardín (se dice que es uno de los más bellos de Estados Unidos) que ella misma cuidaba. Se hacía sus propios vestidos, velas y cestas y preparaba mermeladas con las bayas de su pequeño huerto. También creó una preciosa casita de muñecas para sus hijos que se conserva en un museo por su gran calidad. Su casa estuvo siempre llena de las preciosas flores que crecen en su jardín...se puede visitar actualmente y sus hijos han continuado con el legado de sus obras . Su casa en Vermont, era un precioso lugar creado por ella misma, parecía una casa atrapada en el tiempo, rememorando un estilo de vida de tiempos pasados, basados en su interés por el siglo XIX Amaba a sus perros de raza "Corgi" "Corgis are enchanted. You need only to see them in the moonlight to know this." -- Tasha Tudor "Corgis están encantados. Solo hay que verlos en la luz de la luna para saber esto." - Tasha Tudor Su famosa casita de muñecas. Este libro es de fotos de un casamiento inspirado en Tasha, sus muñecas y la casita.Una joya de 1945. Tasha de joven. Adoro sus ilustraciones. Ella misma se diseñaba ,bordaba y cosía su ropa. Aqui dos vestidos maravillosos con un gran trabajo en bordado. Tasha Tudor representa la vida hogareña en su plenitud, el amor por las cosas sencillas, la autenticidad de una vida... me encanta su estilo de vida y sus ilustraciones . Mas de Tasha Tudor y su familia. Museo
