Love for Jane Austen

I accidently bumped into this item yesterday...
and of course I had the urge to search for more Jane Austen items on Etsy.
I'm a big fan of Jane Austen. My very favorite of her books is 'Pride and Prejudice' as I just love Elisabeth Bennet as a character - not to even speak about Mr. Darcy.
And have you ever seen the BBC-series of Pride and Prejudice?
I tell you: you must! It's the best adaptation made ever and Mr. Darcy aka Colin Firth is just divine... *faints*

The shop above has more cool Jane Austen related items, so make sure to check it out!
So I used 'Jane Austen' as a search term in handmade on Etsy and found these goodies:

  5. I'm not a huge fan, it took me quite a while to read sense and sensibility for my English literature list. But maybe I was too young to love it back then, maybe I should try it again :) Lovely finds!

  21. I am also a Jane-ite. Can't help it. I just finished watching the 70's BBC version of Persuasion which I enjoy, although the current one with Sally Hawkins is my favorite.
