It’s Friday again! I’ve had so much fun doing my Etsy collection posts, I’m going to make it a weekly (Friday!) tradition. (Catch my Navy collection and last week’s Anglophile pieces if you’re just tuning in.) If you also love Etsy and collections, feel free to blog about this, too — and leave a comment with your link on this post so we can check it out!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that, despite her untimely death nearly 200 years ago, Jane Austen’s legacy is as strong now as it ever was — if not stronger! Think of the countless films based on her six completed novels — all she was able to complete before passing away on July 18, 1817 (my birthday! Well, not in 1817, but you know what I mean). And of the countless merchandise. And the modern books — many of them excellent! — which pick up with her beloved characters where Austen left off, bringing us further stories of our beloved Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
Along that vein, I bring you my latest collection of Etsy things to lust over: what I’m affectionately calling The Best in Austen On Etsy! I’m all about the eye candy and I adore Austen . . . so I bring you my favorites!

I love Etsy! And Jane Austen! I watched one of the movies recently… I forgot its name but it had Kate Winslet in it… Oh, it was Sense and Sensibility! Awesome movie…

THANK YOU for featuring my bracelet! I’m always happy to meet other Janeites
I also make pairs of bracelets in a slightly smaller size for the petite wrist, and headbands – both wide and narrow.
Wonderful selection of items here… thanks for putting them all together. Have a great day!

I’ve spent the last ten minutes or so looking at your Etsy find Friday posts, and I love them! So much awesome stuff. Not that I actually need any of it, but my willpower is fading! And what’s a few knick-knacks here and there, right?
