She is an Amazing Author and Artist. Her artistry with so May bright colors, she has a style all her ow, so unique!
Do any of Our Wildflowers have a favorite book of Susan’s, one maybe that really touched you? Mine is Distilled Genius, but then again I also enjoyed her love story, then there is Heart of the Home. Oh who am I kidding I love all of her books as each one has touched my heart in one way or another.
I am looking forward to her next book as I know it will be her Best!

Big Hugs,

She is amazing and has a love of England and goes every year.
She was 30 years old when she drew her first picture of potted geranium then painted it. Can you imagine? Now she is famous and a fabulous artist and painter! |

I've heard many of these names before, but I don't have any of their books.
Denise - do you know what cookbook your recipe is in? I'd love to see if I have it! |

Same, Heather!! I would love to check my Gooseberry Patch books too!! Please share, Denise.
I sent a recipe in once and it was selected to be published. I was so excited! Then I got a note in the mail saying that they ran out of room in the book and my recipe wasn’t included in the book. :( |

| Yes, Denise please let us k ow which one as I had been collecting Gooseberry Cookbooks for years. But had to stop when I found out I was allergic to gluten and wheat. I wrote them to ask if they were going to do GF cookbooks at all and they told me know. |
Big Hugs,
Debbie

I will look and see which one it is in.
I love reading Tasha Tudor's books. I have quite a few of hers.
Also Gladys Taber is another. I have almost all her books |

| I just finished her book: A Fine Romance, Falling in love with the English country side - I loved every single page. Devoured it up, soaked in every photogrash she shared and every beautiful quote she included. I thought France and Italy were calling my name, but now I think the English Country side may tie for bucket list travels. My genetic ancestry is English and Scottish - so I'm definatley excited to visit England in my lifetime and visit many of the villages she shared about. Beautiful book! |

| You are right April, A Fine Romance was amazing. I enjoyed all of it, and I too can not wait to go back to England one day. We were there in the ‘90’s when my husband was one of the Medivac Pilot. Kent and I went for 4 days and loved it! I would love to go back Tom and I, so much more I want to see. |
Big Hugs,
Debbie

I love Susan Branch too - her cookbooks are some of my favorites - mostly for the beautiful artwork. I do love her holiday books too.
My favorite recipe is the Gazpacho from her Girlfriends book. It's just perfect for summer.
Debbie - your book stack makes me want to find mine and figure out which ones I need to finish up my collection. I have lots of boxes of books out in our garage I haven't unpacked yet and I know I've got some out there.
