I ran into this on another Jane Austen blog, thought it was pretty funny. And very well made!

This Friday, two days ago, there was the first meeting of what shall hopefully develop into Sweden’s first 19th century society (or something along those lines). We were four who decided to meet at the big sewing expo (I believe that’s what it’s called) in Stockholm, in costume.
During the night between the Thursday and [...]

This interview is with Alyssa over at Days to Remember. Alyssa too I have come to know largely through the blogging world, and through Sense and Sensibility and Facebook (the wonders of internet!).
1. What was your first encounter with Jane Austen? What made you decide to read her work?
I remember hearing about her a little [...]

Here in Sweden today is a day we call “Semmeldagen”, or offcially “Fettisdagen”. And on this day it is tradition to eat what we call “Semlor”. Instead of pancakes like I believe a lot of other places do. A Semla is a bun filled with marzipan (or it’s not quite marzipan, it’s slightly different, but [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody! I hope that your day has been a lovely one! Here the sun has been shining all day and it has felt so wonderfully nice to be outside! It felt like spring in the air, even though I know that spring is probably still some way off…

I’ve got another little guessing-game. I have taken this (an old place mat), and turned it into something else. Can you guess what?

I promised I’d write down the answers to which books I quoted in my previous post. So here they are.

1. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)
2. David Copperfield (Charles Dickens)
3. Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)
4. Middlemarch (George Eliot)
5. North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell)

8. The [...]

”It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife”. That is probably one of (if not the) most famous opening sentences ever. We all know where it comes from, and it’s been quoted again and again and again.
I was thinking about [...]

My next interview is with Elise, whom I have actually never met but come in contact with through the blogging world. I’ve followed her blog for quite some time now and have discovered that we share many interests. Her lovely blog you can find here: Ribbons of Light.
1. What was your first encounter [...]
