In celebration of Ms. Jane Austen’s 235th birthday I thought I ought to throw together a little post of my favorite Austen-inspired items on Etsy. Some serious, some silly. Enjoy! 1) An original Elizabeth Bennett painting. 2) Letterpress Austen quotation coasters. 3) Embroidered unrequited love handkerchief. 4) A silly print. 5) Silhouette bookends. 6) Another silly print. 7) A complete Mr. Darcy costume (oh Etsy, how I love thee…).
I *love* Jane (and NT!), thanks for the great links!
Happy Birthday, dearest Jane! I heart you like no other author and have also devoted a post to you today, in your honor. xx
what a powerhouse.
hahaha! i can’t believe there is a mr. darcy costume on etsy. so funny. :)
Chelsea — Was waiting for someone to mention the costume. Isn’t it hilarious? I wonder what I would have to do to get Mr. Armour to wear it next halloween…haha. Brilliant. xx
Love Jane. What a remarkable woman! Made a design set for a wedding inspired by Jane Austen: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=7918324

Giselle — It is so cute! Love the silhouettes hanging from ribbons : )
Oh Jane, so much wit. She’s timeless. As relevant today as 200 years ago. To have such resonance. Shakespeare. Jane… who else compares?
Happy Birthday, Jane! You have had such a fabulous impact on my life and I will forever love you.
