Make Yourself a Sun and find Jane Austen

The days keep getting darker and shorter, and it is at this time that I wished I lived on an island in the Caribbean.

Since that is not possible, I've decided to take the whole thing into my hands (literally) and make myself a sun. Of course I just couldn't leave it plain and had to add some words to it, not my words but Jane Austen's, which is my latest obsession.

Finally after so many years, I got and read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It has been such a long time since I've enjoyed a book so much. I've always thought, that books come to you at the perfect moment, that you have to be ready for them. I had tried before with one of her books and had no luck, or better yet, lack of interest. *The pattern for the above branch comes from Mollie Makes magazine.

As you can see, Pride and Prejudice is all I can think of, especially Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. I still can't figure him out (I guess that was the whole point no?) I think I don't have to mention that my favorite parts were the ones with letters.

"Be not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you."


Here is hoping that the sun is shining wherever you are.
Giova.

P.S: I didn't cut my copy of the book. The word cuttings come from a page given to me awhile back.
