One of my favorite self care things to do is to make myself a proper tea. I like all types in all ways and usually with a little treat. One of my daughters bought me this super cool teapot recently. The open book on top has the 1st words of Pride & Prejudice. This really is just perfect on all counts. I have more than a couple teapots and vintage teacups in my collection. This is my new favorite and will live next to my Jane Austen Chilterns.

So this is my IRL Bookclub! We‘ve been together for 15 years - which has included 3 marriages, 9 children, countless job changes, joys and heart aches! We talk books and life and everything in between. This weekend was the first time we‘d met in person for 2 years and it nourished my soul. #bookpeoplerock
Happy birthday to the great Jane Austen, author to several iconic contributions to #britishliterature & #classicliterature. And of course the period drama, how can anyone deny the appeal of Mr. Darcy.... :P #prideandprejudice #classics #fiction

I'm ready #Pemberlittens! Whose got a cool hashtag for Persuasion?#PemberlittensandPersuasion ?

I've slowly been collecting Clothbound Classics as we've been reading. I picked up Persuasion a few days ago at Barnes and Noble. They also Love & Friendship and other Youthful Writings so I bought it to finish my collection. #collectionnotobsession ๐
@sprainedbrain
One of my best purchases this month! I saw these gorgeous covered classics by Charlotte Brontë and Jane Austen and couldn‘t resist! Plus, the 1995 version of Persuasion with Amanda Root and Ciarán Hinds had me in the mood โบ๏ธ
Anyone like any of the classics? I love Jane Austen in particular โบ๏ธ #janeausten #classicliterature #literature #bookstack #sherlockholmes
This popped up in my Facebook On this Day. Every year I celebrate my Birthday for as many Days as I'm years old. Not about big parties and spending money although I do spend money. Hey it's my Birthday. But more importantly it's taking time every day to enjoy life's little moments. #Pemberlittens are definitely a part of that. I didn't realize we've been at this over a year. It's been a delight. ๐

Thanks @andrea313 for teaching me what 'mommyjacking' was. Absolutely what happened in this chapter. I listened while getting ready for my IRL Books and Brews Club. It's so wonderful to be back in person. ๐๐๐๐๐ป

Found this lovely bookstore while walking in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA. ๐โฑ๏ธ
Just finished my new Jane Austen themed puzzle with my Mum. It was lovely and a bit easier than the World of Shakespeare one in the same range!
Decided to just go ahead and order this as a splurge and I adore her! She‘ll probably come out of her box soon because I don‘t care for the boxes. She needs to be free!
My sister saw it the other day and asked โwho is she?โ ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฃ I know my sister doesn‘t read much but my goodness I didn‘t know it was that bad!
The book club gals and I are meeting today since we have finally finished all six novels. We plan to watch The Jane Austen Boon Club movie after the book chat. #bayoubookbunch @Lollymya @Chelsey_5
This print from @AmyG is so pretty and absolutely perfect for me that it must have its own post.
Thank you again, Amy!

I am in love with this new podcast! They‘re reading Austen with a view to looking at it with modern eyes and historical context; for example, this last one looked at S+S through the lens of class and the one before that race in the Regency Era. It‘s fascinating! #PemberLittens
And just a little extra love for these freakin adorable tiny books! ๐๐๐

Itโs Jane Austenโs birthday!
I hope everyone finds a way to enjoy the magic that Austen gave to us today. ๐ฅฐ
Personally, Iโve already busted out Persuasion to read my favorite letter (and swoon a little). Iโll be watching my daily episode for #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice & continuing #AJaneAustenEducationBuddyRead.

Looking for this old photo for #chawtonhousephotochallenge I'm doing on Instagram. Thought I would use for today's #Pemberlittens post. W/ #NorthangerAbbeyNovember is coming to and end. Time to make a Dec Stack. Will concentrate on P & Prejudice retellings I didn't get to in Oct since N Abbey retellings are scheduled for Jan. @sprainedbrain
