Yes she was very fascinating wasn't she... Wouldn't it have been a treat to meet her and tour her gardens!
ReplyDeleteShe certainly lived her life on her own terms and we are the ones who are better for it.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip,
ReplyDeleteSomething that struck me from one of the books was that her son built the house with everything in proportion to Tasha Tudor's height - so that even the ceilings were reachable.
A unique personality, for sure!

I, too, was saddened to learn of Tasha Tudor's passing. She was such an interesting person. Her garden was an inspiration, wasn't it?

she always seemed to me the embodiment of a fairytale. Thanks for sharing this, Phillip. She really understood the important things in life. I am glad you appreciated her, too.
ReplyDeleteRegards,

Oh my gosh I hadn't heard that she died. She was always an inspiration to me...she has certainly left her mark on the world.
ReplyDeleteSoooo you blog is the reason I have been thinkng about Tasha Tudor? I had childhood books on my mind all morning and just made a post about them. I was wondering why Tasha Tudor was on my mind. It's all your fault! LOL..I loved her and use to sell her illustrations on eBay. They were the most requested. She was wonderful.
