After arriving in Vermont
I was joined by a fellow friend from
a Facebook group called
"Take Peace" Suzanne
The Birthday gathering was held
in a church building that was perfectly
fitting for such an event, as the
structure reminded one of
Tasha's "Corgi Cottage"!
Sweet Ladies greeted us...
(Natalie Wise in her beautiful Laura Ashley dress)
..and there were "Goodie Bags" and
Raffle Tickets!!
The prizes were covetous
including a Grandfather clock
made by Seth Tudor
There was a Floating Cake!
Like the one in Becky's Birthday!!
Winslow Tudor ,
(Tasha's Grandson)
made the Cake and the
"Boiled White Frosting"
from Tasha's Cookbook!
So many of the ladies
wore pretty dresses and
Tasha styled aprons!!
Amy Tudor and daughter Ellie
were so very busy with so many things !!
Marjorie Tudor hosted
a Watercolor workshop!
It was very interesting,
informative
and great fun!!
I learned some very helpful, new
techniques !!
..~..~..~..~..~..
Soon a luncheon with Tea
was served and then on to the
exciting raffle!
(the winner of the clock she was so thrilled)!!
There was a wonderful
slide presentation given by
Jeanette Knazek ~historian!
Ashley Maggie May was
a very well behaved guest
enjoyed by all!!
Soon we were saying our
Thank yous and Good byes....

..and then we were off to
visit the
Tasha Tudor Museum!
"Longings Fulfilled"

see! This exhibit
