Austen in August : Giveaway

Austen in August : Giveaway

This month the blogosphere has been celebrate the incomparable Jane Austen. I love Jane Austen for her wit and humor, her beautiful language and plots that resonate even 200 years later. Haven't you ever found yourself in a situation similar to that of the characters in her novels? I know I have on many occasions. To celebrate Austen in August, I have a special giveaway just for you.

I have these lovely notecards illustrated with scenes of the novels. Aren't they beautiful? Would you like to own one?



"All the eagerness compatible with anxious elegance."


"To examine their own indifferent imitations"


"Whenever she received a letter, they always looked the other way."


"Showing your picture to his mother and sisters."



To win a notecard either
identify the quotes without Google  (I am embarrassed to admit, I couldn't do it). Each quote is from a different novel.
 
or
tell me what Jane Austen means to you!

If more than four people comment, winners will be chosen at random.
