HAPPY BIRTHDAY
BEATRIX POTTER!
Yes, we still love her style, her story, memories of her, her garden, her art and everything else about her!
One can not think of Beatrix without remembering all the colorful characters
she drew and wrote about in her

Today we are celebrating the upcoming
July 28th celebration in memory of her.
I love Beatrix so much, I have designed my
garden in honor of her. I have frogs near the
pond and out in the yard I have

Let's lift our teacups today to Beatrix. I participate in a
Face Book group called "Afternoon Tea Across America"
and the lovely card in the collage below
was sent to me in an exchange from Belinda.
Here are several links about the celebration:

Hello Bernideen. What a lovely post. I just want to step into some of those pictures. I see we share the same treasured BP journal scrapbook. It is such a favorite! This swap was so much fun to participate in, and I hope you will get a chance to check out my tea and swap as well. Michele over at The Nest at Finch Rest, suggested I link up with you, and I am so glad she did.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Heather
What a wonderful BP collection of China! How fun! As I mentioned, I just have a mug now, but loved seeing yours. A wonderful post for a wonderful artist so close to our hearts! Great features to!
