Jane Austen Flower Power Again!

"I cannot help but think that it is more natural to have flowers grow out of the head than fruit. What do you think on that subject?" ~Jane Austen, letter June 11, 1799, on buying a sprig for her sister's hat.

The minute I read that quote, I filed it away, knowing I'd use it at some point. Just in time for the JASNA SW Conference on Sunday, I was able to put the quote together with a wonderful image. Now if I can just find the perfect hat to wear, I'll be set!

New! Jane Austen Notes!

I'm getting ready for Sunday's JASNA SW Conference with a few new notes. These are a smaller size (3.5"x5") than my greeting cards and I've been adding bits of organza to them, for another dimension. Some of the images are Jane Austen postage stamps that were issued in the UK (in 1975) and some images are idyllic Georgian scenery. Jane Austen never ceases to be a source of inspiration!

Jane Austen Flower Power!

"Indulge your imagination in every possible flight."
~Jane Austen

I'm getting ready for the annual Spring JASNA SW Conference in May with a few Jane Austen Flower Power framed cards! These 5" x 7" cards have a burst of spring color and pattern, with lovely Jane the center of attention.
I will also have on hand some new Jane bookmarks in spring colors.
At the end of May I will be launching a Jane-inspired store on Etsy. If it sounds as if I have Jane Austen on the brain~I do! How could I not, when I come across a quote like this:

"I cannot help thinking that it is more natural to have flowers grow out of the head than fruit. what do you think on that subject?"
