A Narnia Winter Wonderland
Here is some pictures of my enchanting winter day!

We had a winter snow storm here yesterday, it started in the afternoon and kept going until late last night, it was a pretty soft falling snow and we went outside in the evening twilight for a magical winter walk around our street , everything thing looked so different covered in snow white and peaceful and quiet, we turned on our tree lights from Christmas again so we could enjoy the snow and make a snowman,

I think I might have spotted a magical Faun dashing by the Lamppost could that be Mr. Tumums from Narania, my daughter thought it could be so we went to take a closer look. We missed having a white Christmas this year so better late than never!

I enjoyed watching the snow falling with my cup of Hot cococa and big large marshmallows and working on a stitching sampler that I plan to make into a pillow.

I have searched high and low for the perfect apron something that is Old Fashioned looking and Victorian just like the oh so pretty dresses we see in Jane Austen Movies, so I set out to make some pretty aprons from my collection of vintage lace and buttons, linen and calico fabrics, this apron makes your day so much fun, to clean or garden, I even wear mine over my jeans to the store and back and forth to the school, they are that pretty and I always get a lovely comment from someone.

So brighten up your day with this sweet little apron and dream away at tea time that you are Jane Austen strolling in a Herb Knotted Garden. I have listed these new designs in my shop today, I am working on a few more designs in lovely calico blues and green.

Happy Valentines Day

In Tasha Tudor Tradition we had a sweet Heart shaped cake, fresh flowers for the table at tea time with our favorite dolls and pets, we exchange cards and small sweet gifts each year and make little catnip mice for our furry friends too.

Very pleased to offer this lovely little original watercolor of "Miss Mouse" I was inspired by the Beatrix Potter Book Little Miss Tittlemouse when I drew and painted this cute girl, she is framed in a antique Victorian Album Paper Frame that was from a book dated 1847, the lovely illustrations and colors look very peaceful and enchanting, Miss Mouse is in my shop today. Now I am off for a cup of English Breakfast Tea and then to tend to some valentines waiting to be packaged up and sent off to wonderful new homes.

I have listed another sweet Tasha Tudor Vintage Valentine in the shop today as well, this one was made by the Jenny Wren Press, I love the little Corgi watching the children giving Kisses!

I have included in this post some instructions from the book Drawn From New England on making a Valentine and Tussie Mussie, these were made by Tasha Tudor and her family and delivered by Sparrow Post. If you wish to make some to share with your children I think it would be fun to carry on this very sweet tradition.

In my house we have a dollhouse which has it's own little mailbox (tiny basket) and I like to put things in there, when my daughter comes home, she likes to see if the Calico Critters have any mail , they might just get an invitation to tea with the cats!
