Tasha Tudor Dies

Marlboro, Vermont - June 18, 2008
Tasha Tudor, a Vermont-based illustrator with a wide and loyal following, has died.
Tudor lived in Marlboro, surrounded by gardens, in what her family describes as an old-fashioned lifestyle of peace and self-sufficiency. Her detailed, sometimes whimsical, drawings have been featured on greeting cards and dozens of books. Tudor's last book was published in 2002, and it highlighted one of her favorite subjects: corgis.
Tasha Tudor was 92 years old.

I have always admired the work and life of Tasha Tudor and smile just thinking about her life style, the way she marched to her own drum beat.
Tasha Tudor's said of her Stillwater Sect, her imagined New England religious sect. "Stillwater connotes something very peaceful," Eldress Tudor explains, "Life without stress. Nowadays, people are jeezled up. If they took some chamomile tea and spent more time rocking on the porch in the evening....they might enjoy life more."
I so agree ! I plan on sipping a cup of chamomile tea today and rocking on the porch in honor of this wonderfully talented individual.
