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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  8. 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!

  14. 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.
