Next week [I] shall begin my operations on my hat, on which you know my principal hopes of happiness depend." Jane Austen to Cassandra October 27, 1798 This bonnet has been an idea for quite some time. It was designed to mimic the one worn by Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility. It is a woven straw base with colorful brocade trim and a red colored silk "pouf". It comes complete with a custom designed matching hatpin. It is completed and ready to ship! I'm always happy to try something new. Visit www.austentation.com for a large selection of hand made custom sewn Regency hats, bonnets, reticules, accessories and more.
Heading to Bath? Here are my tips & tricks for planning what to wear to the Jane Austen Festival.
On the bicentenary of Pride and Prejudice, we celebrate the genius of one of Britain's best-loved authors
Ez a recept az Austen család leveleiből maradt fenn, ők pedig egy 1723-as receptkönyvből ismerhették, melyet John Nott adott ki, francia ihletésű receptekből. Jane korában számtalan ételhez használtak alkoholt, egyrészt mert jól fertőtlenített, másrészt az akkori telek igen cudarak lehettek lévén, hogy akkoriban még nemigen volt szuper fűtési technika. A 14. században borral, Nott könyvében rózsavízzel, Austenék receptjében már brandyvel vagy épp rummal készítették. Gondoltam, utóbbit mindenképp kipróbálom. Ha tehetitek, ti se hagyjátok ki!

Celebrate Jane Austen's bicentenary with this white soup recipe that was made for Mr. Bingley's Netherfield Ball.
I think Bath is one of England's most beautiful cities and fortunately it's a day trip away for me, which means I get to visit every year. The draw for many is the stunning Georgian architecture, rows and rows of neat residences made in yellow ochre stone and dotted with chimney pots and pretty, wrought iron balconies. The most stunning view is of the Royal Crescent, where the arch of buildings create a beautiful rainbow shape over the city of Bath. The Circus, Queen Square and Pulteney Bridge are similarly breathtaking. Wandering around Bath is a treat and even better if you can tag on to one of the free walking tours that take place every day. The historic figures that put the Bath on the map, feature in my artwork: Beau Nash and Jane Austen. Wonderful museums including the amazing Roman Baths and Fashion Museum also feature in my artwork. A busker sings for their supper outside Bath Abbey together with a couple of choristers that make their way to vespers. My favourite treat... Afternoon Tea the The Pump Room features within the artwork, as does the indulgence of a plunge in the thermal spa. It's great to see that Bath is encouraging local artisans and on my next trip I'm going to make a beeline for Green Park Station, where they sell their wares.
