  • 1830s Kitchen Print

    A wonderful study of Tasha's kitchen. She started this painting in the 80's and finished it in 2001 or so. True to Tasha Tudor's nature, this painting shows the family baking, the children licking out the bowl while the corgyn eagerly await their turn. Three kittens play with yarn in front of the warm cook stove. Print 8 1/2"x11" Printed in the USA.

  • A is for Annabelle Counted Cross Stitch KIT

    Tasha Tudor's beloved book is adapted for cross stitch. This project reflects Tasha's love of everyday life, and would make a welcome addition to any home, with its nostalgic reflection of days gone by.

    On 18 count Charles Craft fabric.

    Designed by Barbara Bangser for the Posy Collection.

  • Baking Print

    Reprinted from the Jenny Wren Press era (1991), this has been one of the most frequently requested images. With the warmth of the Mother giving her children their snack, we can understand why. Print 8 1/2"x11" Printed in the USA.

  • Bathtime Print

    This image was originally published years ago as a Christmas Card and reprinted in the Jenny Wren Press era. This painting shows the warmth and tenderness of the Saturday night bathing ritual prior to the invention of indoor plumbing. Tasha's children remember this experience distinctly. They say one side of your body would be icy cold, while the side facing the fire would be too hot. Print 8 1/2"x11" Printed in the USA.

  • Blue Cupboard Print

    This classic and instantly recognizable Tasha Tudor print was drawn from scenes in Tasha's own home. The alternative title for this piece was "Cat in the Mixing Bowl", because, if you look closely, you'll see Minou (Tasha's beloved one eyed cat) hiding from the corgyn. We are particularly impressed with Granny's ability to capture the Oriental rug, as well as the worn, antique texture of her beautiful blue cupboard.

  • Chicks Peep and Hens Don't

    After publishing her first book Roosters Crow and Hens Don't in 2015, Ellie Tudor realized the general public needed even more information to fully understand chickens the way she does.  She developed this second volume, again, self-motiviated.  In this book, she shows us how hens take care of their chicks, where they sleep, what they eat, what they discuss, and so much more. A delightful and informative read for children and adults alike! 

    Published by Rooster Crow Press. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 16 pages long.Color illustrations.

  • Ellie Tudor and Her Chickens

    March 14, 2017
    Tasha Tudor is known for her charming illustrations that depict the friendship and love between children and animals. Her watercolors of little boys and girls ambling through fields of flowers in the company of corgis, lambs, and chicks radiate innocence and the magic of a childhood spent living close to nature. 
     
    With rosy cheeks and bright eyes Ellie Tudor, the 7 year old great granddaughter of Tasha Tudor, looks like she walked right out of one of her great granny’s illustrations. Though Ellie was born after Tasha passed away, it is clear that her great granny’s spirit lives on in her, and in more ways than one.

  • Harvest Pantry Print

    This painting shows Tasha Tudor's 'Hen's Pantry'. Visitors are often confused as there are no hens in the pantry. This room used to be the closest to the hen yard and as such, their feed was kept here. The hen yard has since moved and the hen pantry is now used to store necessary household goods, such as hand-dipped beeswax candles, jams and other items that will survive freezing temperatures. 1996. Size 8 1/2"x11" Printed in the USA.

  • Haystack Print

    Lovely late-summer print showing an old-fashioned family of eight harvesting the hay crop. They are watched by five goats, two geese and one bantam rooster (who looks a lot like Tasha's real pet, Chickahominy.) You'll also see two corgyn, one of whom is debating whether or not to enjoy the contents of the picnic basket before he is spotted. Size 8 1/2"x11" Printed in the USA.

  • Making the Best Apple Cider Booklet

    Tasha has pressed her own apple cider for many years. If the process interests you, this bulletin is full of insight for making yours the best! We receive many requests for information on "How To" live the Tasha Tudor lifestyle. Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletins offer practical, hands-on instructions designed to help you master dozens of country living skills quickly and easily.

    From the introduction "The heady fragrance of fresh sweet cider running from the press is a wonderful blend of mellow apples, the faintly acidic scent of fallen leaves, and the brisk taste of country air that has been cleared by early morning frost. The memories of family cider-pressing days stay with children for a lifetime, and through the cooperative work, the fine scents and flavors of the raw material, the instant, gratifying reward of labor in the torrent of delicious golden juice, and the row of filled jugs stored away with anticipation, cider makers enjoy the first-hand experience of self-sufficiency, cooperation, and the pleasure of work."

  • Ode to Chickahominy

    Winslow Tudor
    March 10, 2010

    Some chickens are real individuals. The most notable chicken Tasha ever knew was Chickahominy. His mother was a bearded Belgium bantam that started her clutch of eggs early in spring, and failed to hatch any save one, at which point she abandoned the effort. Rescued by Tasha from the cold, and thawed atop the double boiler on the woodstove, Chickahominy soon demonstrated his penchant for woodstoves, tea, gardening, scrambled eggs, traveling and people, especially Tasha.
