Austen

Yesterday was FRIDAY! Yay :) It was sooo…beautiful outside and my room was flooded with natural light I decided to snap a few photos on my iPod whilst the light remained. I got this antique copy of Pride and Prejudice for Christmas last year and I absolutely adore it <3 The teacup is from my Grandparents {also a Christmas present} and it holds the remains of a red carnation that I got from my Best Friend for Valentines Day {we decided to buy each other a flower}. The book contains beautiful drawings by Robert Ball and each one is unique and adds a certain charm to the already quaint book.


I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

  2. Yep, my dear Bronte, you and me and Jane - we would make a marvelous set of friends (don't you think)? You would have loved author, Georgia Graham, who I met yesterday. Lovely lady, beautiful artist and wonderful stories. Hey maybe it would have to be you, me , Jane and Georgia. My imagination runs wild about what we could all talk about...XO. A.A.
