Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!

 


Today marks Jane Austen's 250th birthday!

Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!

I'm a big Janeite, and I've been looking forward to celebrating her this month. Here's one way I'll be doing just that:


My son, Luke and his wife, Candi gave me this early Christmas present! A very rare commemorative Jane Austen LEGO set! I love it SO much!


My family knows me so well. This mug was a gift from Sam's girlfriend, Rhiannon, for Christmas 2 years ago, and I use it almost daily!


Austen was a creative genius, a writer of great wit and prose. She was also a clergyman's daughter and a woman of great faith. I plan on re-reading through her six novels in 2026.

I think I shall brew a cup of Austen-inspired tea later and see if I can put my creative building skills to work.
