Do not look if your name is Tracey.

My best friend had a birthday.  The gift had to be handmade, as I am still following Dottie Angel’s diet.  It’s the best diet I’ve ever tried I think.  Tracey loves Jane Austen.  Back in High School when Pride and Prejudice was on the list I just didn’t get it.  Tracey tried in vain to convince me it was romantic, exciting even.  It was all too subtle and I always wished Jane’s characters would simply get to the point.  Something has happened to me.  Older, wiser – now I get it, the subtleness.  I have become a period drama junkie and  I can regularly be found watching re-runs of shows like Lark Rise to Candleford on Foxtel.  It’s my one weakness!  So I hope my romantic friend likes her print from Yardia, and enjoys doing her dishes with this Darcy proposal tea towel from Brookish, both on Etsy.  Happy Birthday dear friend.

    I’ve bought from both those stores!! Fantastic gifts. I’ve got an Austen loving sis in law.
