True Loves: Beatrix Potter
The way Beatrix Potter brought such character to so many little animals is truly magical!!
(My Mother-in-law won the 'Squirrel Nutkin' figurine in a school competition and she passed it on to me!!!)
'Peter Rabbit' and 'The Tale of Two Bad Mice' are the most popular in this household.
There are many times when Miss Z and Mr. C could be mistaken for two mice the way they whirl through this house turning everything in sight upside down!
(Potter is in the air - I was just looking at Little Birds Handmade, check out her adorable Beatrix Potter inspired items!)
Oooh I love Beatrix Potter...Benjamin bunny was always a fave as was Mrs. Tiggiewinkle. I love you nutkin figurine...so adorable!

And...the movie is coming out about Miss Potter's life (or is out already) with Renee Zellweger as Miss P.

The Tale of Two Bad Mice was one of my faves too. I use to practice drawing using all her books.

This is one of the strange collections I have - every time I see a Beatrix Potter book at the thrift or a garage sale I feel like I have struck gold - and have to remind myself that one does not need several copies of each book.

I love Beatrix Potter too. I have a few of my old one's from when I was a kid. Funny though my kids never took to them as I had hoped. I will just have to pass them on to my Grandkids :-)
