- Today I take you with me as I explore Webster, NH. A beautiful area filled with Farms, Rocky Rivers and Streams and of course Old New England Churches. I also find Tasha Tudor's Farm where she also had her little Store "Ginger Pickles" and lived there until she was 60 years old.

Tasha loved poppies, she used to sell the seeds from her Corgie Cottage business. I have almost all her books & was so happy to get her phone number from her daughter and she answered the phone! We had a conversersation I will never forget. She interspersed her conversation with quotes from Shakespeare & Thackery. Ill never forget her voice...I knew Id spoken with a kindred spirit! We spoke of our corgies & books, but not for long, I suppose she was being her polite sellf.Thank you for allowing us to see the "red house"! It was in her book, but only a picture.. New Englands great, especially for an Iowa, New England "wannabe".
Oh Carol, thank you for sharing your Story. You are only the second person I have "met" that had talked to her and I love your Story, how lucky are you! Have a beautiful week!
Seriously? You called her? WOW That’s rather nervy and intrusive….of course she was being polite…🙄
Tasha has always been my favorite. She lived life on her terms. ❤
Yes she did!
I was raised to know and love all things Tashs Tudor. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I’ve admired Tasha my entire adult life, her many skills, her love of nature, children and animals❤. I so enjoyed this and those church bells, perfect timing❤ Thank you
I agree with you and thank you!
Thank you, Carla, for taking us to see Tasha Tudor's New Hampshire home. I think the tours of her VT home are cancelled. That woman was multi-talented and resilient.
I believe you're right about the VT Tours. I never got to see Corgi Cottage other than in pictures. I agree, she was certainly a hard worker!
Thank you so much, I rather liked Tasha for her rich style simplicity and gatherer of old everything that made life worth living.
My grandmother used to have tea with Tasha Tudor when they were neighbors in Webster
Oh my gosh, how fun!
Grew up with her art and books. Love her work! ❤️
think of all of the spirits present in the church. pure souls
I found out about Tasha Tudor awhile back watching someone’s video that prepared one of her recipes. Very interesting lady. Enjoyed seeing her house and also tour of the church. It reminds me of the Bruton Parish church in Colonial Williamsburg with the little cubicles. Thanks for the trip. 😊
Love hearing the church bells!
Me too! It surprised me. lol
One of my favorites. I have many of her books. Such a unique little lady.❤
My husband and I found Tasha’s home in Vermont~we had some inside
Information on where she lived. Unfortunately the dirt driveway was gated! I was still thrilled that we were that close!
I met Tasha Tudor in the 90's. I was a dealer doing a show in Nashville TN. and she was there shopping. She came up to ME. I knew who she was but I would never let on because I think people like to have their privacy. I was wearing a caped Outback coat and hat. She touched my arm and I still remember every exact word she said to me: "You are a beautiful woman and I love your coat and hat". I then said "Thank you, Miss Tudor". With that she smiled and left my booth. She was of course dressed in one of her mid 1800's outfits. From the midwest, I now live in a little 250 year old cape in New Hampshire and have my business on our website, the country lady antiques. Her family contacted us several years ago and asked my husband and me to present a program at their center in Vermont. We did go, and did our 'Dressing a Colonial Lady' presentation there. It was a hit. It was covered by a local newspaper and I still have the clipping of us. It's a very nice memory.
Thank you SO much for sharing your Story, I love it. What cherished memories you have of her, and how lucky to have met her. Have a beautiful weekend!
I really enjoyed this visit to Webster and thanks for sharing Tasha Tudor- again, so quintessential New England.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Kerri, such a pretty area.
I loved this road trip! I need to add some David Austen roses to my gardens once I clear some more spaces. The price of them!!! wow!
I ended up going back and bought another but had such a hard time choosing....especially at those prices.
Good luck with your plantings, Carla. They will look beautiful in no time! Thank you for sharing your day, enjoyed it very much. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you! You too Christine!
Hello Carla, Enjoyed today's video ( so special) with the peaceful running water and calming music. When I hear church bells 🔔 ( as we did in today's video) I always think of angels communicating to me/ us. My favorite ( besides growing up in a gardening family) Tasha Tudor was a special person. I have for many years note cards I purchased while she was living. I receive Email communications of events and recently they had seed packets that a person could buy.
I enjoyed seeing all your purchased plants, 👍 also thank you for sharing your garden with many beautiful blooms and patriotic hanging basket 🇺🇸 ❤ 🤍💙
I love the "angels communicating" thought! I did see they were selling seed packets, I may go back and look. Have an wonderful Sunday Anne Marie!
Hello Carla thank you for taking us with you on your trip. I have never heard of Tasha Tudor and I looked her up. She was a very talented lady and I love her beautiful illustrations. Thank you for showing us the beautiful church and loved hearing the bells. You bought a wonderful selection of plants for your garden ❤
I’ve only seen pictures of this home and it looks so much bigger in your video. I visited Corgi Cottage a few years ago in 2018. It was my dream to see it in person as I had pored over her books for many years and have tried to recreate her gardens. Your garden is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh, wow, I would love to be able to visit Corgi Cottage. I know they've closed it at this time but I'm not sure if they will reopen. Thank you for watching Delia and have a great week.
Beautiful Sunday video! I’m a big fan of Tasha Tudor. I have a garden book that she illustrated.
The garden center has great prices and beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing! ❤ 🪴 ⛪️ 🐇
Thanks for watching Brenda, Happy Sunday!
Love this video,so peaceful
Thank you Judy!
Very special video today! I always enjoy hearing about Tasha Tudor. Love all of your plants.
Thank you Judy!
My daughter and In are both fans of Tasha Tudor. I actually heard her speak many years ago at a garden fair in Cincinnati. Thank you so much for sharing her home with us! I heard that she once said when she died ,she hoped heaven was 1850!
Awww, well I hope her wish came true! I would have loved to hear her speak! Thank you for watching Barbara!
Carla thank you for taking us with you to the area where this wonderful woman Tasha Tudor used to live. I enjoy every trip with you. Thank you again. 🙏for sharing such beautiful videos , is like a little lessons from the past. Well done. Carla 💕
Oh thank you so much Natalia!! Have a great evening!
I love Tasha and admire her lifestyle. I painted a portrait of her, which is hanging in my home. The portrait is based on a picture of her from one of her books. I cherish it.
That sounds beautiful.☺️
Love seeing history of New England! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching Cindy!
Lovely video! I too have an English Cottage Garden that I started 22 years ago. All I have to do now is edit it and divide the flowers occasionally. It's one of the easiest ways to garden. I have flowers from early spring right up to when the snow falls. Your yard is already gorgeous. Enjoy creating more beauty. Blessings to you and your family.
That is exactly what I am hoping for! I just keep adding/editing our garden each year. Hopefully someday soon it will be filled out. Have a great Sunday!!
Very interesting, thanks for the lovely trip! Beautiful flowers, great selection!
Thank you!
This video is lovely Carla, such a beautiful church, I love your white spire churches in NH. I have never heard of Tasha Tudor so I am now going to read all about her, we share the same birthday 28th August!.. Her illustrations are so pretty! The house she lived looks gorgeous
wish we could have seen inside & what a beautiful colour paint! Thank you for sharing that. I’m sure your cottage garden will look pretty with your purchases. As always a great video Carla… Thank you!…😊
Thank you Jean! You used to be able to Tour her Vermont House (Corgi Cottage), but I believe they Closed that to the Public. Her NH Home is obviously owned by another family now, but yes, how fun it would be to see the inside. Have a great Sunday Jean!
Blessing’s from Bethlehem, NH!❤. This was one of my favorite videos, you’ve done! Your lilacs are Beautiful!
Thank you Gina!
Oh goodness, I have her books and love them!
Never heard of Tasha Tudor so now I will educate myself on her! I love New England and I spent a lot of time there. I definitely will be back in the near future. Last time I was in New England was December 2019.
I think you'll enjoy learning about Tasha Tudor. Have a great week!
Oh this was so cool! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Such an enjoyable post! Thank you!
Thank you for joining me Pamela
❤what a lovely road trip!
Thank you Peg!
I lived in Webster NY. It was so charming and beautiful
Hi Carla, I had never heard of Tasha Tudor before so looked her up. Her illustrations are beautiful Thankyou for introducing her to those of us who have not heard of her. Webster looks so pretty.
Hope you have found time to plant your beautiful flowers x
If you can find her two DVD's "Take Joy" and "Take Peace" they are wonderful to watch. I'm not sure but you may be able to find them on You Tube. I own both DVD's and love them. Have a great week!
She died many years ago.
Very pretty video, thank you 😊
Thank you! Dana! 😊
Love New England.
I can't wait to be in Cape Cod for the week soon.
Oh my, LUCKY you!! Enjoy!!!!!
Hi Carla, I just loved this video! The church was so beautiful in its simplicity and, church bells just touch my heart. The garden center was fun, and you found some great buys! Your lilacs are gorgeous! Here in CT, mine have just gone past peak. I absolutely love that white flowering tree in your yard. Can you tell my what type it is, as I don't recognize it?? I have flowering pink dogwood, pink Kwanza cherry and a white waterfall weeping cherry. I would love to add the one you have! Have a beautiful week. 💮💮💮
All of your trees sound absolutely beautiful. I believe ours is a Mock Orange....it does have an Orange/Neroli scent (just beautiful). It was here when we bought the house. Have a beautiful Sunday!
@@mynewenglandstory Thank you! 💗
Lovely video Carla. 😊🕊️
Thank you Donna! 😊
Love my native NH. Wish we could return. Unfortunately housing costs are absolutely outrageous. Sad
Wow! What a deal on those David Austin roses. I hope you snagged some.😊
Yes, I grabbed two. It was so hard to choose and I may go back for more.
That opening of the beautiful rushing stream is breathtaking! I need to stop, and make a cappuccino ....I'll be right back. Ok, here we go. Take me away! Those church bells. right on cue, with the blue sky and billowy white clouds over the steeple! God is good! You are so right , that most of us think of Tasha Tudor at Corgi Cottage in Vermont. I think its because all of the books I have are in that setting. I have THe Garden book, THe Christmas book , and her Dollhouse book. You did such a beautiful job of filming and music choices. I notice your skills are really, really good at filming. I always feel like I am there. Salvia, pansies and sweet alyssum are my go to in my garden every year. Loved that silver gray fern. Will be on the look out for that. What was that incredible little white tree at the end?
Oh Liane, you made me laugh at the beginning of your paragraph! Those Church Bells startled me, I wasn't expecting them! lol. The tree that you're asking about is a Mock Orange, it smells like Neroli to me and I love it! Thank you for coming along with me and enjoy your Sunday evening!!
@@mynewenglandstory I am actually burning a Neroli candle right this minute! Will look for a mock orange. Thanks
I used to rent from Tasha many years ago in Vt.
Oh wow, so you knew her!😊
I grew up near her a good portion of my life. Her daughter Beth was the one who collected the rent. Tasha was just another eccentric in the area. VT has always been full of artist, off grid homesteaders etc. It wasn't uncommon even today to have a neighbor who wore ripped jeans (way before it was a fashion statement) did all their own upkeep for their home and property, drove a beat up Volvo and turns out to be a millionaire. Nothing pretentious or trying to keep up with the neighbors. After Tasha died there was a huge battle around the estate and I'll leave it at that for legal reasons. I will say this though, they were all kind and liked by the community. Families are complicated and even now in my own retirement years I have siblings that make me crazy.
I enjoy your trips so much! This video was so wonderful & peaceful.
I’m an artist that is a kid at heart. I have always wanted to do children’s books. Thanks Carla. Also this video didn’t come up in my feed. That’s happening with many channels I watch. If I didn’t check my subscription I wouldn’t know. Have a blessed weekend. 😊🩷
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for letting me know about it not showing up in your Feed. Enjoy your weekend!
What a pretty town I love going to small towns looking at old homes Niagara on the lake in Canada is a quaint town
Yes it is, I haven't been there in years! Have a great Sunday evening Pat!
Wow! That is a REALLY old way of arranging pews! I used to be a pastor of two Congregational Churches (UCC) in Vermont. That sanctuary is currently in use (I can tell by the hymnals), but this church dedicated to the historical layout of huddling together for worship as as they did in the days before sanctuaries were heated! Families used to have their own section of pews, and each section, as this church shows, had a little door. Usually the fancy, important people in the congregation were closer to the front (I roll my eyes!). You get the seat you pay for! Before 1820, there was still a “minister tax” that everybody had to pay whether you went to church or not. Also, when the lightning rod was invented in the late 18th century, church councils would have debates about about whether to install one in their steeple-because if God wanted to smite your church with lightning and burn it down, He should have the option! LOL! Another colonial church tidbit: a church member-not sure what he was called-would walk around with a long stick fitted on the end with a leather ball, and if you dozed off in the worship service, he’d gently bop you with it. The stick was long enough to reach you no matter where you were seated in the pews.
Thank you for the "fun facts"....love it! That seating is pretty common in the old Churches here, some even have the family name on them. I have been to a Service where they still use a Pump Organ....one Man pumps while the other plays. That is part of the New England Charm that I love. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Hi Carla love your video! Not sure how the deer are in your area but here in upstate NY I planted winter berry and deer ate them! We now fence them off! I thought they were deer resistant 😀
We will see.....there are a lot of Winterberry Bushes all over our area. Fingers crossed they don't eat mine!
David Austin roses for eighteen dollars?! They are more than twice that much here in Mass.
I know! I was shocked!
Goodness the prices of the roses is unbelievable. The prices are much higher here if you can find a David Austin!!!
I was shocked at the prices too!
Beautiful. Church. And. Town
Good morning, Carla, do you have the address for her home? I tried to search for it but I can't seem to find it. I'd love to take a drive there with my daughter one day soon. Have a lovely day.
Shoot, I threw it away. It was on Tyler Rd, hopefully that will help. Enjoy!
That's okay lol. Maybe if I call their town hall they might be able to give me the address but I'm sure I can find it with the street address. 🕵♀️
Did I miss Tasha’s house/homestead? Was it the red one?
Yes it was
First Congressional Church…funny how this slip of the tongue is a true to life metaphor for our political atmosphere.
Congressional church?
LOL. aka Congregational
Congrgational, not Congressional.😀
I know, I caught that after my editing! LOL. I try!
Hi Carla, enjoyed the road trip and stopping by the nurseries. I could spend all day just looking at the beautiful flowers. Will be excited to see your cottage garden theme. Loving the Heavenly Garden whipped body cream and mist. I think it’s my favorite. Thanks ❤
I'm so happy to hear you're loving them! I go back and forth between that one and Sea Garden. Have a wonderful Sunday!
