Description:
This beautiful Jane Austen art journal was inspired by fashion from the regency era. The journal consists of 14 thick pages. Each page was designed by me, put together from high quality card stock, hand cut, and individually inked for that special vintage look.

Each page of the Jane Austen journal features a beautiful regency lady from Austen's era, as well as pieces from Jane Austen's old book covers. This Jane Austen inspired spring journal comes in beautiful pastel colors - orange, light brown, beige, pale pink, light blue, and green. At the very end there is a pocket filled with matching journaling cards, so that you can embellish the journal with your favorite quotes, or simply your memories and thoughts.




*Some of my favorite Jane Austen Quotes*

“An artist cannot do anything slovenly.”

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

“Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery.”

“One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it..”

“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.”

“There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.

“To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.”

“We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.
 
“What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.



Besides the journal, you also get your choice of 1 handmade card!
















London Photography by Keri Bevan on Etsy

Happy Saturday! I hope that your weekend is off to a good start. What I am going to be doing for the next week is featuring travel photography of various cities from all over the world. Today we are in London, England and I am particularly eager to be sharing with you some fine art by English photographer Keri Bevan. She was kind enough to allow me to feature her work, so make sure to show her some love by visiting her shop and her blog. You can find the links below along with a copy of Keri's Etsy profile.  Cheers!

"Hello! I am a UK based fine art photographer. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic Flashcube camera. By the time I was a teenager I was turning the family bathroom into a darkroom with my vintage film developing equipment. These days I love to evoke a mood of mystery, nostalgia and whimsy through the art of digital photography. I enjoy experimenting with various techniques such as TTV to create photographs that have a dream-like, ethereal quality.

I am lucky to say that my photographs have found their way into magazines and publications around the world, and have even won a few competitions. Mostly I feel lucky for having the opportunity to do what I love most, and for having the opportunity to share that with you.
