A network of blogs about sisters and sisterhoods of all kinds.
From the category archives:
LAST WEEK, TSP READER Margee Cooper sent us a 1964 photo (above) shot with her sister, Linda. And as you know, every picture tells a story. Margee’s is a humdinger, and to encourage you to share yours, we’ve included it here with a little slideshow of other new friends’ captioned images of sisterhood. [click to continue…]

ANASTASIA INTRODUCES THE TSP SISTERS to photographer Robin Schwartz, an only child who’s mother to an only child, whom she photographs in magical interactions with other species and…oh, you’ll see.
FROM A SISTER-FRIEND she’s known since age 15 and others adopted along the way, Shauna James Ahern has learned to be herself, and unafraid. Those traits, combined with Shauna’s exceptional culinary creativity, have put the Gluten Free Girl at the center of a sisterhood (and a brotherhood) of passionate cooks who follow a gluten-free diet but don’t compromise their palates. Read her story in the TSP Galleries.
FOR PAIGE AND ‘LITTLE SISTER,’ a session of mother-daughter embroidery recalls an earlier tradition of such hand-me-down crafting moments from her own childhood. See what the girls made.
WHAT DOES TSP’S SISTER PAIGE have in common with Ava Gabor? She may be missing Zsa Zsa, but her life looks more like Green Acres than you might think. Here’s why.
S OMEONE SAVE US, Sister Anastasia has chosen yet another baby sister, in Chapter 3 of her ongoing game of stork-playing. And this one has a beard.
TSP astrologer Sheilaa Hite has a great sister story of her own. In case you missed it…By Sheilaa Hite
IHAVE ALWAYS KNOWN that sisters are special, but I’ve only experienced from the outside looking in. You see, I’m the only girl in my family–I have two brothers, and I’m the middle child. My mother tells me that, as a small child, I was relentless in begging her for a baby sister. So relentless, in fact, that she had to consult an astrologer for advice on how to shut me up.

MET AMAZING SISTER PAIGE YET, our sisterless sister who’s raising siblings with no first-hand experience? She also serves as our “sister scout,” and has a divining rod and curator’s eye for finding great artists for TSP’s Galleries.
SISTER ANASTASIA has spoken…or should I say the stork? If she were the stork, she says, she’d deliver Baby Buster to her own doorstep. Learn why.
I F YOU WERE THE STORK, what baby sister would you have chosen? Anastasia Smith has named her first candidate.
IN THE GALLERIES: Claudine Hellmuth collages.
First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia
is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there. 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
