In Loving Memory of Dear Tasha



Our beloved Tasha Tudor and my ultimate heroine, passed away in her Vermont home, Wednesday, June 18. Visit this Memorial Website to learn more about this wonderful American icon. I have signed the memory book and donated to the Tasha Tudor Museum.

Here is the obituary from the New York Times.

  2. OH NO! I can't believe she's gone! It was always a comfort to think of her up in Vermont in her little house with her animals...I am so saddened!

  3. Hi Christine...I am so sorry you have lost a "friend". I just read her bio...what a wonderful and very talented woman. I can understand your sadness. She was a very content soul and was happy in her own skin.

    Have a good weekend!
    Hugs, Nancy

  4. Alas, Nancy, I never expected Tasha Tudor to live forever, and I am happy in knowing that she lead a wonderfully fulfilled life and inspired so very many of us. She is in her own heaven now, which is of course, 1830's, New England with her beloved captain. (She always imagined him, I believe).

    I simply assumed the entire world would have announcements about her demise. But they did not, and so I am announcing it to those of us who basically worshiped her from afar.

  6. I too was amazed to find that there was nothing in the new about this wonderful lady. I don't understand, and although she lived a nice long life the way she wanted, I too am saddened that she is gone. I am at the beach and can not wait to look at her books when I get back home. I think I'll look at them differently now. How is John Adams coming. Have you seen it all and did you ever buy the thyme?

  7. Carole,

    I totally forgot about the thyme. I haven't yet given up.

    John Adams was an excellent production, yes. We'll be loaning it out often.

    Tasha was a great inspiration, and is with us forever in our hearts.

  9. Christine, thanks for the sweet tribute to our sweet Tasha. What a wonderful woman she was, in her quiet, loving and lovely ways, she mentored to all of us who loved her.

    I am so glad she was able to live her life as she wanted, and was able to remain independent til the end.

  11. A very touching tribute to Tasha. She was quite an inspiration and not just with her art but with her life. I never got to meet Tasha personally while living in Vermont, came close once but had to beg out due to illness. We did, however have a very good friend that is good friends with Seth and the stories he would tell about Tasha were just captivating. She is and will be missed....Pam

  12. What a rich, long, productive, creative life she lived! It is hard to think of her not being there at her beloved home. She will live in our hearts and in her books. Truly an inspired woman and an inspired life.

  13. Hi,Christine! My comment regarding "Spring" stemmed from the cool/cold temperatures until just recently. I can deal with rain, but I couldn't get warm!! Hope all is well! M.

  14. Oh, Martha,

    Wear warmer clothes and sip some wine!Tasha made her very own raspberry cordial and it is yummy and very warming.

    Sorry you couldn't get warm. You wouldn't cotton to New England, and I'm afraid that is the only other place on earth that I am interested in besides my beloved Oregon.

    Christine (Zwee!!!!!!!)
