We have a winner for the Austen Art... and a DVD giveaway!

Hello, everybody! I have to first apologize for missing all your comments. For some reason, yahoo decided to send everything to my spam folder. (How? WHY??) So, I've just realized that there was a bit of conversation happening over here... and I was in la-la-land.
  Reading them straight through, I came to two conclusions.

One- Etsy is awesome.

 And two- we're all suckers for Austen goodies.

Which brings me to our winner...

Marissa, Rafflecopter loves you and wants you to have a Kristy Zink original drawing! Whoohoo! I really think I need my own version of this. With all my heroines, in the colors they wear in the Austen Takes the South books. *swoon*

What I really want is this Austen era gown, but since I can't have that... I'll stick to the art. 

Now, for our next giveaway, I thought I'd put up one of my favorite Austen movies... but it's not one of the originals... it's LOST IN AUSTEN. 

Here's the blurb, if you haven't seen it before: 

Amanda Price is sick of the modern world. She yearns for the romance and elegance found in the books by her favorite author, Jane Austen. But she's about to get a rude awakening as one fateful evening, she is propelled into the scheming 19th century world of Pride and Prejudice while that book's Elizabeth Bennet is hurled into hers. As the book's familiar plot unfolds, Amanda triggers new romantic twists and turns within the Bennet family circle as she clumsily tries to help the sisters nab husbands and even captivates the tantalizing Mr. Darcy herself. But what about Elizabeth...and what will become of one of the world's greatest love stories?

It's got some really funny scenes, a few plot twists, and of course.... ROMANCE.

Still not convinced you need to see the movie? 

There! Elliot Cowan doing his best impression of Colin Firth's lake scene (which of course, did not exist in Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but let's not quibble).

 

 

So, enter early and enter often! I'll make sure to pop in and out to check for comments. :)

Winner and a new Jane Austen giveaway!

Hello everybody!! The date for the paper release of Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits is getting closer.
                            I. Am. So. Excited.
                                                          Seriously.

For a little perspective, I'm usually sort of like this. But I'm not a cat.

Or, maybe like this. But I'm not Clint Eastwood. Or an old guy.

 Maybe kind of like this... definitely closer. I'm not as funny as Colbert and I can't tell a joke with a straight face to save my life but I just don't get POSITIVELY GIDDY about very much.

 But this is me, now. It's sooooo close. I've loved the reissue of the ebooks and am thrilled with the way they're being received, but at heart, I'll always be a book-in-my-hand kind of girl. And having this series in paper ON MY SHELF is making me want wave my hands in the air and give away lots of prizes!

  Which brings me to our winner!
TEISH, rafflecopter loves YOU and wants you to have The Jane Austen Cookbook! I've already sent you an e-mail, so just let me know your mailing address and I'll send it on!

Now, for the next prize, we're going back to art. This is a new artist I've met recently through facebook and the etsy community. I AM IN LOVE with her drawings. They're so whimsical. She's created a drawing just for us... ready????

Kristy Zink has the most adorable take ont he Austen heroines and I love how their personality really shines through. So, for the next give away, I'm offering this 8X10 Austen heroine art print. You can check it out in a few more close up shots here on her etsy page.

Ok, everyone! As always, enter early and enter often, and I'll announce the winners next week. Good luck!

Winner!! And tea cup giveaway!

Whooohoooo!

 I love this giveaway stuff!

VESPER,  rafflecopter loves YOU and wants you to have some Austen art!!
 Congratulations and now, we've had tea, a mug, Austen movies, Austen art.... What do we need now? A tea cup giveaway! Excuse the picture, it really IS a very pretty demi-tasse cup. So small, so perfect for espresso or a bit of mulled wine. (Or, I suppose, TEA....) And I have FOUR to give away!

What's been your favorite giveaway so far? Leave a comment below and let me know. I have lots of prizes left and only a few more months before Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits emerges in PAPER. I've seen an advanced copy and she's SOOOO PRETTYYYY. And I can say that, because I'm the mom. Book babies are all beautiful, but to the mom, they're perfection.


 Anyway, my plan is to make sure I have only a very SMALL MOUNTAIN of Austen items left when June arrives, and an even SMALLER mountain when July is here and Emma, Mr. Knightley and Chili-Slaw Dogs comes out!!
  I have more art on the way, another mug, and some snazzy Austen book cover earrings... because we all need Austen jewelry, right???
Okay, so, enter early and often, my friends. Remember, I have four of these beautiful little tea cups! I'm not sure of the age, but they're a beautiful deep red!
Until next week!

Winner!! And Austen Art Giveaway!

You thought I was kidding... but I'm not. I have been collecting lovely Austen items for many months now and the time has finally come!

But wait, we have a winner of the Darcy mug!

     BROOKS, Rafflecopter loves YOU! I've sent you an e-mail and I'll post this on the PPCG facebook page. Let me know where to have this pretty mug sent, 'kay?



Now, for the next item.... *roots through her massive pile of Jane goodies*

This lovely piece of Austen art from a wonderful etsy shop called Castle on the Hill (Elinore and Edward from Sense and Sensibility) all the way from England. I've already ordered and received the picture, so it will ship from the US, but when I ordered from straight from the shop, it took hardly any time at all! This is the second time I've ordered from her and she's one of my favorite etsy stores!


 We've had movies, tea, a mug... and now a bit of book art! I own one of these (Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, of course) and I love it so much I can't decide which room to put it in. Maybe I should get a few. One for each room??

 All right, my dearies, enter early and often! Good luck!
