BEATRIX POTTER ~ "MR. McGREGOR'S GARDEN" REVISITED

 I have been collecting all things Beatrix Potter for many years. I loved reading these sweet little books to my little boy, and now I enjoy giving my almost three year old grandson these same books. I have a wonderful collection of books, music boxes and figurines from the Beatrix Potter Tales.
While on a trip to London I had the opportunity to see the original sketches by Beatrix Potter on display at Victoria and Albert Museum. What a wonderful experience.

Every spring I enjoy bringing out of storage my Beatrix Potter collection and making spring vignettes around my home. They bring with them wonderful memories of reading with my son and gifts received from my sister and husband.
Please come along with me as I revisit Mr. McGregor's garden with my collection and beautiful new spring plants, which will eventually go into my garden.

Looking at the home of Beatrix Potter, it is no wonder where her inspiration for her stories came from
