Beatrix Potter - Blog Posts
This is so cool- who wants to take tea at Beatrix Potter’s house? Just follow the Peter Rabbit sign.
Isn’t this beautiful? It remains pretty much unchanged.
The current gardeners follow the vegetable gardens described in her books.
Here’s the dollhouse described in her 1904 book, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, in which some cute vermin bust into a doll house and smash every ceramic plate and pastry to bits.
Potter was simply enchanted by the idea of creating whimsy on a smaller scale. In one corner of the house you’ll spot a collection of thimble-sized pots.
A few original pages from her books are on display.
Plus, her writing desk.
Cozy fireplace.
Dining area- notice the little stuffed characters from her books, around.
Lovely table for tea. Could you imagine?
And, her luxurious bedroom. Gorgeous place.

The world of Peter Rabbit and Friends (1992-1998)
i have faith that everything will be fine, but i still need to be dramatic and complain about it
My Female Heroes (in no particular order)
Saint Jeanne d’Arc - respected and revered warrior and military leader in a time when women were treated like chattel, and never backed down from a fight and what she believed in to the very end. She’s my WWJD anytime I feel scared.
Shania Twain - singer/songwriter who crossed genres with music that let me know I could be tough and feminine at the same time (and glad to be a woman). If I had a soundtrack for my life, all her albums would be in it.
Rumiko Takahashi - manga artist/author with one of the longest careers in the business and wrote several stories that are the perfect blend of action, romance, fantasy, and humor. I hope that my stories are able to do the same someday.
Beatrix Potter - author/illustrator who got her literary start and romances later in life. It took her a while to find her calling and community, giving me hope and the knowledge that I don’t have to have my life worked out before I’m 36 (rom com age limit).
