Regency Ramblings

Happy Birthday Jane Austen!

In Celebration of Austen week I gathered a flock of girls to dress up in regency finery and drink tea, here are a few pictures:

The Hair process took a long time, most especially with Gwen's dark mass of hair that requested to be curled.

This is my birthday card to dear Jane Austen in celebration of her birthday.

Dearest Miss Austen,

I thank you for writing these wonderful novels. I have spent my teenage years on your stories, daydreaming of Colonel Brandon, and lapping up every word from Emma. I have spent a whole semester studying your work in classes with other Jane Austen fans.

The best part about reading your books is the community you end up falling into. The other fans who adore you, they make wonderful company.

I thank you for inspiring me to dream a little more, and to aspire to things greater than myself.

In Christ
Milisande
