A friend of mine posted some photos the other day on Flickr of a t-shirt she had gotten in the mail. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. Of course, as soon as my daughter saw it she had to have it as well. Yes, we are Jane Austen geeks.

The packaging it comes in is so cute…

I just love the butterfly tag and the brown wrapping paper with twine…

And then there is the quote…

The store is Brookish and they have some very cute things… not just the t-shirt. If you are a Jane Austen fan, definitely check it out…

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
~ Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811

Now go find some new treasures of your own and come back and share them with me.

“I only hope the boat won’t tipple over!” She said to herself. “Oh, what a lovely one! Only I couldn’t quite reach it.” And it certainly did seem a little provoking (“almost as if it happened on purpose,” she thought) that, though she managed to pick plenty of beautiful rushes as the boat glided by, there was always a more lovely one that she couldn’t reach.

“The prettiest are always further!” She said at last with a sigh at the obstinacy of the rushes in growing so far off, as, with flushed cheeks and dripping hair and hands, she scrambled back into her place, and began to arrange her new-found treasures.
