Pride & Prejudice

Elizabeth Bennet is my kind of woman, and one of my favorite characters of all time,  so of course I am in love with the Kate Spade Pride & Prejudice book clutch! Even if she wasn’t I think the sheer beauty of this handbag (doesn’t that sweet fountain pen put an instant smile on your face?) would persuade me to put it on my wish list. And I dare you to keep your heart closed to that striped interior. You can’t, such is the power of stripes and Jane Austen.

Jane Austen by Brookish

make haste mug

nothing like staying home mug

I am a huge Jane Austen fan so I pretty much want one of every item in the Brookish etsy store.  I have a soft spot for her mugs in particular, so many lovely Austen quotes on classic, elegant cups.  A much more stylish version of the pick your mood mugs one sees in gift shops! I think today I would choose the Make Haste! mug. But most often you would probably see me sipping tea from There’s nothing like staying at home for real comfort. Which mug suits your mood?

Brookish also has a lovely collection of tees and dish towels and of course more mug styles.  From top to bottom: Make Haste! mug, In vain I have struggled. It will not do mug,  There’s nothing like staying at home for real comfort mug.
