Items for the Discerning Janeite

Now that we're at the end, I know you're all about to leave me to seek your Jane-fix for the intervening year between this and next year's event. To help you in this, I thought I'd share some of the best, most Jane-y items  of note I've come across.

Of course you already know how much I love Antique Fashionista,
but if you don't happen to win the custom piece, you may want to snag one of these. (Also, can I just tell you: from experience, her pieces come beautifully packaged!)


There are a lot of great things in the Brookish Austen-inspired etsy
and I sorta want them all - but these are some of my favorites.


Two Stray Cats has a section for Janeite things
and 5% of every sale is donated to an animal charity! So when you snag these beauties, you'll be content in the knowledge that your frivolous must-have helped, too.

Austentation has lots of Regency-inspired fashion, 
if you want to look the part. They've even got baby covered. (Plus: bonus points for having Downton Abbey, Anne of Green Gables, Jane Eyre and more)

Pemberley Pond will help you allow Jane Austen to take over your house
with these incredibly cute, quirky designs - and they're super reasonably priced!

Or let Jane take over your car, your fridge and your kitchen
with the awesome stuff that can be found on Cafe Press

Or maybe you want to make your own personalized Jane crafts
in which case there are so many tutorials and blogs out there to help you make things like
These upcycled votive candle holders! 
Or your own Regency sachets


Or make your own Jane Austen wordle poster, like this:
(This is mine, but feel free to use it!)

And there's so much more out there! Like "How to Nurture Your Janeite" via Buzzfeed, or the myriad incredible things to be found on Etsy and Cafe Press! Go, explore, fill your life with Jane - and if you find something cool, let me know!!

  1. Agreed on the delightful Antique Fashionista's stuff. I have the original painting of Anne Elliot looking out to see (which I snatched up as soon as I saw it) and it's really beautiful. And as you said, beautifully packaged as well! They're instant gifts, for yourselves or someone else.

  2. Some people are so amazingly creative! <3
    I fell in love with the Antique Fashionista's second item from the left, with the raised figures in a plaque. Also thought the first item from the left, from Pemberley Pond was very cute!

    I could spend an entire weekend drooling over all the pretties on etsy ;D

  3. You're killing me! Or, more precisely, my pocketbook. Pemberley Pond has so many adorable things! And I don't have nearly enough adorable things!

  5. I think there's a download option, Faith, but what I do is just screencap it and save it in Paint. I think in their help section they give other options.
