In times like this when its too hot to even get in the car and escape, I do some literary escaping to Tasha Tudor's garden...
I have several books about Tasha's life and love losing myself in the pages. It always looks like it just had a good soaking rain...nothing ever scorched or wilted or burnt to a crisp. I really think I could do well in Vermont :)
My soft spot for goats also stems from this amazing artist and 'original' homesteader...
In fact, I've enjoyed emmersing myself in all-things-Tasha so much, that I have taken inspiration from her and her home for a few little things I'm creating for Early Work Mercantile. This has been the busiest of months...but I'm determined to have a few little things ready for the July 1 update. Cross your fingers....

I love those pictures and know them well. I, too, have books on Tasha Tudor's life and home and have read them again and again. It's like traveling to a different time and place - more beautiful, connected and innocent. Thanks for sharing!! I hope you feel better soon!!! Hugs, Silke
i've never heard of tash so i'll have to check her out. so sorry it is so hot there. i hope you keep a cool breeze of relief soon. also looking forward to seeing your new things in your shop !
I love Tasha's books as well and anytime is a good time to escape to her nirvana where time stands still. Hope you have a break in the weather soon!
Hi Heather!! loving your new paintings!
love, kelee
So lovely to read your writing about Tasha Tudor and to see such gentle photos of her. She is a 'hero' in our home, she has brought so much inspiration to my life. Gazing into her books we have and continue to collect bring about such peace and a love of a 'simple' handmade life... wishing you much inspiration as you work on your paintings!!
My mother loves Tasha Tudor, too. I love her dollhouse - it's omg beautiful. :) The heatwaves sapped me of most of my strength, too, but I was determined to have my own Mad Tea Party so I moved it indoors. Stop by if you feel like it.
Today was much much cooler and about darn time, too. I hope it is nicer next weekend.
