Betsy-Tacy Treasury | Maud Hart Lovelace

❄️Snow day❄️
I used to read these books all the time in grade school. I got this collection that has all the books in one and can't wait to revisit my childhood.
P.S. Dexter says hi 👋

Jane's Country Year: The Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Collection | Malcolm Saville

Oh @LeahBergen what a wonderful parcel! Well worth the wait! 😉 Thank you so much! Thrilled with the books! (So pleased to have a Handheld Books edition as I eyed them for years but never purchased one!) Love the card, the post card, the bookmark, the whole kit'n'caboodle. ☺️ And curious if you would recommend visiting Mankato?

Crinoline_Laphroaig I loved visiting Mankato a few years ago! 3w

rubyslippersreads I‘ve visited Mankato a couple of times. You can tour Betsy‘s and Tacy‘s houses, and sit on the Friendship Bench. It‘s a pilgrimage for #BetsyTacy fans. 3w

LeahBergen Yay, it arrived!! I really enjoyed my visit to Mankato and seeing all the little spots from the books. And just what @rubyslippersreads said … the house tours were so fun! 3w

Cathythoughts Lovely 🥰 3w

MaureenMc There‘s a Betsy-Tacy Convention in Mankato this year, in October. My daughter & I are hoping to attend! 3w

Emily of Deep Valley: A Deep Valley Book | Maud Hart Lovelace

Save the date, #BetsyTacy fans! The next Betsy-Tacy Convention will be held this year in Mankato, MN in honor of the birthday girl, Deep Valley's Emily Webster! More information to come on speakers, workshops, and activities, but rest assured- if you've never visited Betsy's house, sat on the famous bench, or gallivanted around Lincoln Park (”that pie-shaped wedge!") - you don't want to miss this chance. #BetsyTacyAndTib #MaudHartLovelace

Andrea313 @LeahBergen Did you absolutely love it? I was hooked from my very first visit! 3w

LeahBergen It was SO much fun. There was a terrifying moment when I discovered the house museums would be closed on the weekend I was there but I contacted them and ended up getting a private tour (with some other people who showed up, too). Phew! And I also managed to do some damage in the little gift shop. 😆😆 3w

Andrea313 @LeahBergen Amazing!!!! I'm so glad someone was able to come through and give the tour! ❤️ 3w

MaureenMc My daughter and I are going to try to make it! We were just talking about it again over the weekend. 🤞🤞 3w

Andrea313 @MaureenMc Amazing! Fingers crossed that we meet in Deep Valley! 🤞❤️ 3w

Betsy in Spite of Herself | Maud Hart Lovelace

I keep an eye out for early editions of Maud Hart Lovelace's books in every used bookstore I go to. I've never been lucky enough to catch one in the wild until this past week! Lo and behold, a tiny, wonderful used bookstore in a tiny northern Michigan town had this glorious copy waiting for me. #BetsyTacy #MaudHartLovelace #MittenLitten

Ruthiella What a find! 😍 6mo

#SummerSouls When I think Picnic, my mind always goes to Betsy and Tacy. Their tradition of picnics started on the bench by Author Maud Hart Lovelace's house. I was thrilled to get to visit on a warm summers day in 2016. 😎

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

rubyslippersreads It‘s a wonderful feeling to sit on that bench. 😍 8mo

Packing for a quick weekend getaway. Four books seems reasonable right? 😁

Graywacke Looks good. Although, you never know when you‘ll stumble across 100 free hours of reading on a two day getaway. At least that seems to how i always plan. 9mo

Suet624 Just map out where the nearest bookstore is in the event you need it 9mo

Ruthiella Maybe just one more? 😆 9mo

BarbaraBB You‘re living on the edge 😉 9mo

LeahBergen Add one more Betsy Tacy to the stack 😆 9mo

merelybookish @Graywacke Exactly! One needs to be prepared! 9mo

merelybookish @Suet624 Oh a visit to the bookstore is definitely on the docket! 9mo

merelybookish @Ruthiella Lol! I think you're right. 😉 9mo

merelybookish @BarbaraBB haha. Yes, it's risky. 😆 9mo

merelybookish @LeahBergen Oh I wish! Currently depending on the NB public library system and they don't have the whole series. 🙄 9mo

Cathythoughts Enjoy ❤️ 9mo
