And, something else.....
I was the lucky winner of Kim's giveaway! A Tasha Tudor book! Hop on over to see Kim at happy at home, she loves to garden, cook, decorate and thrift shop. And she's very creative too ~ look how she gift wrapped the book. Isn't it cute?
Her giveaway book was "Kitchen Gardens", a book for the gardner and the cook. It's a year round guide to growing and using herbs and vegetables. And the illustrations are by Tasha Tudor. Tasha Tudor is an illustrator and author of childrens books. She just passed away June 18, 2008. You can read more about her here. 
Aren't her illustrations wonderful?
She owned sweet little Corgi dogs and used them alot in her paintings.
Thank you, Kim! This is a lovely book, and now that I'm bringing in lots of vegetables and herbs from the garden, I will find it quite useful!
