We're celebrating the birth of a very special lady, who would have been 98 this year. She continues to inspire us every day, to embrace the simple things in life.
Although we may never have a garden to equal the magnificence of hers, every time we enjoy our flower beds, fresh herbs, and vegetables, we feel a little kinship with Tasha.
And although we may not be able to re-react antique dresses just by giving them a look-over, sewing something by hand is a celebration of the creative spirit that she engenders in us.
(The following poses we based on this painting by Tasha, although I feel more like a full-rigged ship than a woman young and fair!)~
May you take some time today to enjoy the simple things, like reading a book with someone you love,
Admiring the beauty of God's creations,
And finding a few surprises along the way!

Dear Marqueta,
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful you look I also did not now you were expecting again either.
I pray you enjoy the rest of this most beautiful event.
And I agree with you about Tasha, she inspires me to be at peace with all those feminine attributes I love and yet still be a hardworing and loving woman
God Bless

Hi Gae, I like the way your name is spelled. My daughter's name is Gaelan.
DeleteA perfect vignette of all that Tasha loved, your post! Very, very lovely. The children and you look so summery.
ReplyDeleteThe tiered dress is so sweet, too.
I loved TT before I knew who she was through an illustrated poem in a childhood storybook called Who Has Seen The Wind? Not sure if she wrote it or just illustrated it.

Marqueta--you are absolutely beautiful in those photos. I will be sending you a letter soon, but I wanted to say here so all can see how much you're blog and friendship has helped me the past few years. Your example of being a Godly wife and mother have inspired and encouraged me to become calmer and more trusting of God and His plan for my life. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming over and leaving such a sweet note..
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Penny
Thank you for my lovely parcel Marqueta, the fabric was wonderful and all the more special because of whose stash it came from. I am overwhelmed. You look amazing in your photos by the way. HUgs to you all. Happy Sunday. Dev x
ReplyDeleteGood grief, where have I been, I had no idea you were expecting a wee babe! You look simply beautiful and supremely content in your Tasha garden.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be late chiming in! You know I love Tasha. Was hard not to. Even though most of us never met her in person, I think there was something real in her that we could all relate to -- it came across in her books, art and garden. I hope you are feeling very well these days.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Lynn
Happy Tasha Day !!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful you look Marqueta.
