View my complete profile My name is Diane Shepard Johnson and my daughter Sarah and I have always loved old fashioned things. We find Tasha Tudor and Beatrix Potter so inspiring. Some of our favorite things and interests are: spinning, weaving, natural dyeing of fiber and yarn, knitting, bobbin lace making, vegetable, herb and flower gardening, old fashioned clothing and frocks, dolls, the old ways of preparing food, canning, corgyn, bunnies, goats, birds, photography, writing, drawing and painting, the old ways of living and old fashioned tasks.The Corgyncombe Courant is our newspaper of some of the highlights of life at Corgyncombe Cottage. Courant is an old term for newspaper.

The fragrance of the Easter Lily was lovely at Easter Tea.On the shelf above the teapot are Beatrix Potter figurines: Tom Kitten and his Mum Tabitha Twitchit, Flopsy Bunny, and Mrs. Rabbit.
Setting the Hot Cross Buns out to cool. The receipt for Hot Cross Buns is from "The Tasha Tudor Cookbook". The red and white pot holder was a recent delightful find.
Charlotte, anticipating Easter Tea, also made Hot Cross Buns.
After the dough has risen, she puts the buns on a cookie sheet and allows them to rise again.
The buns have been frosted with a cross on top. The antique large oval screen cover was a most delightful recent find!
Diane used the receipt for "Christmas Cookies" from "The Tasha Tudor Cookbook" to make the cut cookies in the shapes of hens, chicks, and rabbits.
Chickalily joins Charlotte for Easter Tea with Charlotte's fresh Hot Cross Buns and Tasha Tudor's Welsh Breakfast Tea. In her hand, Charlotte holds one of Sarah's handmade marbleized eggs.
