   I just came across your website and loved it and of course, Jane Austen!

   I want to personally invite you to our 3rd Annual Jane Austen Festival in Louisville, KY. I have no idea where you live but a trip to our event is worth it! Last year 1,000 attended from 15 states!

   Event will be held July 10 & 11 at beautiful Historic Locust Grove, a circa 1790 Georgian estate (www.locustgrove.org)

   There will be a Regency Emporium, a Regency Style Show, a Jane Austen Ball, workshops, talks by Kim Wilson (In the Garden with Jane Austen and Tea with Jane Austen), Ed Maeder who designed the beautiful bonnets for the recent Dolley Madison documentary as well as Dressing Mr. Darcy, authentic entertainment and more, lots more not to mention a four-course afternoon tea!

   Sincerely,
   Bonny

   Thank you Bonny so very much for the invitation!! Can I just say first of all that I think this sounds lovely, and I should dearly like to go! You said that you don’t know where I live but that a trip to the event is worth it, and I can well believe it is! I do live quite far away, in Sweden, and unfortunately I am afraid I cannot make it this year. Of course you never know what could happen and July is still some way off. But otherwise I really hope that I can come another year instead!

   The program sounds great! And so does the location! I was thinking as I probably won’t be able to come this year, maybe you’ll be writing something about the event somewhere after, and sharing some pictures? ‘Cause that’d be lovely to read about and see! Maybe I can do something more on here too…

   I wrote a short little post about this festival just now. It really does seem nice!

   All the best,
   Aurora

   Dear Aurora:

   What a wonderful site, is amazing!. I love the pictures, that blue dress is beautiful. At this moment I am reading Sense and Sensibility, I had always find Colonel Brandon as one my favorite male characters in Jane Austen’s novels. I went to Barnes and Nobles yesterday and happened to buy a beautiful box with the book and the film (the one with Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman). A few months ago I saw Pride and Prejudice again but this time I put to hear the dialogue in Spanish to experience Jane Austen in that language, to tell you the truth I love it too. I also saw Becoming Jane the movie, I really like it as well.

   It is amazing that a young girl such as you love the books of Jane Austen, to me reading is one of the greatest pleasures on earth, don’t you think?.

   Sincerely;

   Anna

   Dear Anna,

   I would definitely agree with you that reading is one of the greatest pleasures on earth! There is nothing else quite like it!

   I thank you for your kind words about my blog and my dress! I am very pleased to hear you like them!

   I just finished re-reading Sense and Sensibility again too! A couple of days ago. I was reading it for a book club I’m doing and was once again struck by what a fantastic book it really is!

   I’m so envious when I hear you say you went into Barnes & Noble! Barnes & Noble is one of the most amazing shops in the world, as I see it, and we have nothing at all like it in Sweden!

   I have never yet watched Pride and Prejudice in Spanish, I don’t quite know how I would like it… But it would be interesting to hear what it sounds like. A few years ago I was working on trying to learn Spanish and would then occasionally watch a film that I knew very well in that language, as a way of learning it. I found it rather frustrating however when I was so familiar with the dialog in English and suddenly it all sounded completely different.

   Thank you for your comment!

   All the best,
   Aurora
