Today I welcome the lovely Jen of Miss Bohemia to my blog! She has a lovely shop on Etsy which I visit often! I will be reviewing a lovely door sign and mirror I bought, and there is a giveaway of one of each of these items as well (details below!).
'DO NOT DISTURB I'm Reading Jane Austen Door Sign'
I really love this door sign! It is very well made and very sturdy (and will tolerate any door slamming!). The design itself is really fun - and very true, you DO NOT disturb me when I'm reading Jane Austen, which I will more than likely be doing in my bedroom!) The design is very well printed onto the metal plaque - it is not going to rub off or fade or anything. While being strong, it is still a good thickness, not too thick, and so doesn't stick out from the door. As well as a really fun design, it is a high quality and well made door sign which is really fun to brighten up any Janeite's door!
'I'd Rather be at Pemberley Compact Mirror'
This mirror is a must for any Janeite's handbag! It is the perfect size - not too big for your handbag, nor too small to actually be usable as a mirror! As with all of Miss Bohemia's products, it is a very high quality mirror and the design is very well printed onto the front. The design itself is so pretty (the font of 'Pemberley' is just gorgeous!) and I love how true it is, as I am sure most Janeites would rather be at Pemberley - I certain would!

hahaha that is brilliant! Good luck!
DeleteI think this quote really sums me up :-)
Deletep.s. I love your additions :-)
My favorite is this one :
ReplyDelete“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”
I memorized it & absolutely adore it!

One of my favourites as well! Good luck!
DeleteAh thank you for reminding me about this quote - I had forgotten how much I like it :-)
DeleteMine has to be "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope." - from the best love letter in literature.
ReplyDeleteMiss Bohemia's wares look fantastic. Thanks to you both for the giveaway.

DeleteThis is one of my absolute favourites too :-)
DeleteIt's going to be so hard to choose :-)
"It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do."

This is such a good quote, especially because it refers to part of the book's title :-)
DeleteGreat choice! Good luck!
DeleteI really hope you are aware that you put me in great trouble...I don't have ONLY ONE favorite Jane's quote, I could fill a book with them! I'll go with the first that comes to mind, which is: "The person, be it a gentleman or a lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid!"
ReplyDeletehello_ely@libero.it
Thank you both for hosting the giveaway, and good luck to everyone who will partecipate! =)
I often face a similar problems when trying to pick just one Austen quote and you have chose very well as one of the pleasurable things to do is read a good book :-)
DeleteI am just the same! I have loads of favourites! Good choice though!!
DeleteSince my favorite was taken, I must now use my second favorite, although there are quite a few that fill that category. "All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one; you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone!"

Thank you both for a wonderful giveaway.
That is such an important and brilliant conversation! Good luck!
DeleteA very meaningful and touching quote - Thank you :-)
DeleteSuch lovely items. I would like to own them. Here's one of my favourite quote and it's from Persuasion.
ReplyDelete"My idea of good company, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company"
Thanks a lot for offering the giveaway.

A lovely quote from one of my favourite books :-)
DeleteSuch a good one! Good luck!
DeleteSome of my favourite Jane Austen quotes are ones that I take some sort of lesson awa form it or provokes me to re-think my views on something. I enjoy reading books - esp. Austen - not just for the enjoyment and the romance and whatnot, but also for the insights I get into different cultures, learning new concepts, and things like that, which shape my outlook on the world.
ReplyDelete“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”

That is a really interesting and different one! Good luck!
DeleteThank you :) One of my favourite things about reading is how even just one passage can change how you see something.
DeleteI was reading this paragraph the other day and remember thinking what a great explanation :-)
DeleteIt would be a quest to choose just one Jane Austen quote but most of my favourites are already mentioned. So I'd pick, "Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love." from one of my favourite, Northanger Abbey.
