Tuesday's Treasures

Today's Tuesday Treasures are the wonderful works of Beatrix Potter.
I didn't read these books as a child and only really became interested in these charming stories when I was in my 20's.  Once discovered, I became captivated.  My DH bought me some little figurines, my favourites being Hunka Munka
and Diggory Diggory Delvet
A couple of years ago I received this exquisite book for Christmas.
It contains so many beautiful illustrations and photographs.  I really do treasure it.

    I loved the Beatrix Potter books as a child and I still own The Complete Works of Beatrix Potter :0) the illustrations are magical as well as the tales. I used to listen to them on audio tape also - happy happy memories.

    Lovely stories and there used to be a series of these on the ABC(?) many years ago that was quite well done and true to the books.

    Have you seen the Beatrix Potter movie starring Rene Zellweger? Is a good movie. I didn't know she bought land for National Parks in the UK until I saw the movie.

    Hi Melody,

    Loved your post today and I have the same Journal of Beatrix Potter ~ isn't it a sweet book.
    Also your little figurines, are adorable. I do not like mice in real life, but I do love these.
    I have a little Brambly Hedge, a dapper Gentleman mouse figurine.

    Happy Tuesday
    Hugs
    Carolyn

    I just adore anything Beatrix Potter. Our family has started what I hope will be a tradition with a Peter Rabbit theme. Our children were given Peter Rabbit sets when they were born. Now we have grandchildren we have done the same for them.
    I think your figurines are gorgeous and the journal is such a delight.
    Something to enjoy forever!

    Beatrix Potter, I went to her house, when I was overseas. The more I see of your treasures, make me want to see the rest of your house. I still have a Peter Rabbit have given the rest to grandkiddlies.

    Gorgeous figurines and book. I love the little mole! He is just adorable. I remember watching with my kiddos a show on Beatrix Potter when they were small. It was so lovely

    Unfortunately I seemed to bypass the Beatrix Potter books when I was growing up. I must read some now to catch up. Your figurines are so sweet and your journal looks fascinating.
