------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris and Julie, the delightful mother-daughter team behind Little Dorrit & Co, has returned as sponsors from last year to offer their beautiful embroidery pattern featuring the famous quote in which Mr Darcy first declares his love for Lizzie. Perfection!
Sweet Heather of the beautiful literary-and-folk inspired shop Audrey Eclectic is a two-year returning sponsor, offering her beautiful new Little Women print.
// Shop // Facebook //
Also a returning sponsor from the last two years, the adorable art from the Surrey, England studio of the delightful Jess Purser is simply charming. One lucky winner will receive the above three prints!
"Palimpsestic." A palimpsest is a manuscript that's been erased or covered over in order to be written on a second (or third or fourth) time. Traces of the original always remain, though. You never know what you'll find when you look beneath the layers.
I am so enthralled with the amazing and unique products in Jenn's shop. Each piece is so beautiful! She is offering winner's choice of a dice unblocker set and a Jane Austen folded book photo/card holder. Aren't those unblocker dice the greatest?
Ciarrai's delightful shop is filled with the most adorable literary-inspired charm necklaces and other pieces, customizable and completely delightful! She is offering a $48.00 shop credit to one lucky winner. What would you choose?
Also, Ciarrai is offering a 5% off coupon for the LHBP with the coupon code:
HEROINES14
And additionally, a 10% discount for those who sign up for her monthly newsletter at eepurl.com/ytOij
// Shop //
$48.00 shop credit is run by Yuriy Aksenov and Katherine Aksenova, two exquisite hand crafters based in a small Siberian town in Russia. Each item in their shop is more lovely than the last, from jewelry to gorgeous notebooks - which could be a problem for our winner, as they will receive any item of their choice from the shop!
Artful tea is a shop after my own heart. Beautiful handcrafted loose leaf teas abound, each personally blended and carefully packaged. The lovely Karen is offering her Tea Sampler of 12 Individual Handmade Tea Bags. What felicity!
Ellen's charming shop, A Likely Story, features literary jewelry & bookmarks for the bookish sort, which strikes me as positively enchanting. A stroll through her wonderful shop is a delight!
She has offered winner's choice between the Bookish bracelet and the Got Books bracelet, pictured above.
We have the lovely Masha of Antique Fashionista retuning as a sponsor from last year's event, this time offering three 5x7 prints - Jane Austen's heroines, Austen Leading Men, and a print of the Accomplished Woman. Capital! Her shop is filled with charming literary inspired watercolors, and her blog is a favorite read of mine.
// Shop //
What is more beautiful than pure, hand-dipped beeswax candles? I'm thrilled to introduce Lorrie's handiwork to you all. Be sure to check out all of her lovely products, from unique molded and dipped candles to lively lip balms. She is sponsoring the fantastic prize of two pairs of 8" tapers. I can almost smell their heavenly scent...
Shop // Website // Blog // Facebook
I am so enchanted by Ashley's beautiful graphic printables... her shop has over six hundred designs to browse through, so grab a cup of tea! Our prize is the swoon-worthy downloadable design pictured above, Captain Wentworth's passionate declaration from Jane Austen's Persuasion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another splendid and fantastic Literary Heroine Blog Party! Your sponsors are tremendous with their perfect giveaways this year. I am looking forward to reading everyone's favorite heroines and literature. Such a perfect party for the February month of love and cold weather keeping everyone inside and close to the fire. This year, I am challenging myself to re-read all of the Jane Austen novels in hopes of visiting her home in New England next Fall on a possible trip we are thinking about. February will be kicked off with Pride and Prejudice followed by Mansfield Park.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I'm leaving a comment sharing my favorite birthday memory.
ReplyDeleteI was turning 7 years old. I had never had my very own watch before and that year my parents gave me my first one! It was a Cinderella and Prince Charming watch and I loved it! To this day no other watch can come close to it's loveliness. :-)
I think my favorite birthday memory was probably from my last birthday. We were on a trip visiting friends that day.:) I have a lot of good birthday memories though.:)

My dad used to take my little brother and me to get ice cream on our birthday (only a few days apart.) I cried one year because he suggested I get hot fudge, and I thought it was awful and didn't want to hurt his feelings. Of course, he got the truth out of me, and only offered to buy me something better. That's my favorite birthday memory. :) My other favorite is crying one year because I asked my mother for a cherry cake, and she worked so hard to make one, and when it came time to eat it, it was far too rich for me. I couldn't eat it, and cried because I thought it would hurt her feelings. Of course it didn't. ♥ (I cried a lot!) :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this great event, Kellie! :)
My favorite birthday memory is a toss up between the time my husband arranged for me to have a birthday tea party at one of my favorite arboretums or last year when we spent the day visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art followed by a performance of Alan Cumming's one-man production of Macbeth.
ReplyDeleteThis will be so fun! I look forward to doing a blog post. :) My favorite birthday memory is...well, I have two. ;) One is getting my darling dachshund puppy when I was twelve and the other is having a classy sixties costume party for my eighteenth, for which all my friends came in lovely costume!

2) Birthday #16 was celebrated with outdoor games. A bunch of friends came over and we played frisbee, kick-the-can, and sardines. So much fun!!

The Vanilla Rooibos Herbal Tea from Artful tea sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteFrom Your bees, everything looked lovely, but the taper candles were especially nice.

ReplyDeleteFavorite birthday memory? Getting a microscope for my 5th birthday.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.....favorite birthday memory.......my tenth birthday when I got my flute:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday memory is when my 13th birthday ended up being a snow day and I had lunch with my cousins and had a snowball fight.. And got my room painted as a surprise! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, lassie! Have a blessed day filled with love and laughter..and of course tea and Chocolate! :-)
ReplyDeleteFavorite birthday memory....
Well, last year's celebration comes to mind, when my sneaky-wonderful mother arranged for you and Tasha to take me thrifting in the morning, and Mom invited some of the neighbors over for a tortellini dinner. Next day, Mom took me on yet another thrifting expedition...and we came home to a surprise party! So many of our friends from church and various Bible studies were there, and I just felt showered with love that year.
So my favorite items from Artful Tea is the Midnight Rose Black Tea, my favorite from Audrey Eclectic is Anne and Diana, My favorite from Little Dorrit and Co. is Cinderella.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday memory would have to be arriving at my friend's house, expecting a quiet lunch, and finding myself in the center of an incredible homemaking-themed party!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful prizes! I love them all and I'm crossing all my fingers to win them. Favorite birthday memory: I was a little kid and received a doll that was as big as I was! I think I was three or four. I was thrilled with it but, to this day, I don't know what ever happened to it.

Yikes - my comment seemed to have disappeared. I'll write it again: my favorite birthday memory is my 18th birthday. I arrived at a friend's house expecting a simple lunch and found myself in the midst of the most elaborate, gorgeous birthday celebration I'd ever received. The theme was homemaking, and everything from the gifts to the games related to the biblical and womanly art of homekeeping!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to think back on the most memorable birthday I had. Lets see.......last year several of my best friends and I got to go horseback riding in the hill country for my birthday. What fun it was to get on a horse again! After we had lunch and then went to have ice cream. It was a blast!
ReplyDeleteI'll come back with my blog post tomorrow, but if we're leaving birthday memories....my church split-no, I take that back-my church *splintered* on my 19th birthday.
ReplyDeleteNot my favorite memory, but it has sure taught me a lot. God still gets the glory, even through our stupid mistakes, I say. :)
Okay, so I'm leaving a comment with all my favorite items from these fabulous Etsy stores. I figured I would do one whole comment instead tons of little ones. :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to attend this lovely blog party. I hope that within the next few days I can have my post up with the answers to these questions. In regards to the giveaway, this past year had a particularly memorable birthday for my brother. My grandparents were able to purchase two tickets to the titanic museum for him and my father (he's always wanted to go to that museum and he spent nearly three hours in it!). It was special because everyone in my family knew about it but him, and it was so exciting when we surprised him with the tickets. I know this wasn't really "my" birthday memory, but I will still treasure it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope that counted! ;)
When I turned 13, my grandmother took me to New York City. We saw the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, the Rockettes, and all the other classic NYC things.

Favorite BDay memory is one in Hawaii many years ago.

ReplyDeleteI've never really enjoyed my birthday. I grew up with two brothers, one older and one younger, and our birthdays fall September, October, November - - with mine still falling in the middle. So it was always got lost in the run up of birthdays to Christmas. It wasn't until I turned 21 that I had my first great birthday. I went out a bought a bottle of tequila and some margarita mix. I ordered a large, Hawaiian pizza. I had been buying over the previous few months all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: all of which I had by October. I drank margaritas, ate pizza, and watched Buffy all day long. It was the best time ever.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite birthday memory goes way back to when I was five and got a bike - I felt so grown up.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday memory was when I turned eight. My mom and I went with one of my best friends to see the Nutcracker ballet on stage. We loved it so much! Ballet was my favorite thing in the world at that time and so that surprise was the best ever. :) I went to Ciarrai's studio and Twenty Fingers and favorited a whole bunch of stuff (I don't have Facebook or anything like that).
ReplyDeleteHi Kellie!
ReplyDeleteThe linky thing won't let me post my link since it can't be more than 50 characters so I'm just putting my link here:)
http://emmasfunplace.blogspot.com/2014/02/literary-heroine-blog-party2014.html
Hi Emma! So sorry the linky wasn't being nice for you - I've added your link manually so that everyone can find it. So excited to read your post! xo!
DeleteOne of my favorite birthday traditions that we have is that my father takes us out to breakfast. The past couple of years, we've gone to a little hole-in-the-wall place where they have homemade tea and applesauce stuffed pancakes. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese are all SO nice, and I'm thrilled to be included :D love that Little Dorrit & Co embroidery, and everyone has such beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say my best birthday memory so far has been traveling to New England last year to visit friends and see all sorts of sites that I'd only read about in books, including Orchard House--- which, incidentally, inspired my Little Women painting! It was so wonderful to wander through Louisa's yard, to see her room and her writing desk....just such a lovely day!
My favorite birthday memory would have to be my 17th birthday. My whole family were there, including my grandma and aunt (they rarely come to visit, so it was a treat). We have a tradition of eating out on birthdays and my parents picked out this lovely place I've never been to. It was amazing.
ReplyDeleteComment sharing my favorite birthday memory...
ReplyDeleteMy parents took me out for dinner for my 16th birthday and my dad gave me my promise ring. It was a complete surprise for me, and he picked the perfect ring for my taste/personality! I still wear it every single day. Problem was, my dad and I are sometimes confused as husband and wife (highly annoying, but funny), and I'm pretty sure our waitress (who saw the ring) thought that I'd just accepted a proposal :P
What a great way to spend my morning, browsing through Etsy shops!
ReplyDeleteLittle Dorrit & Co.
I really like the Dracula Embroidery Pattern. Just looking at it makes me smile. Lol

Antique Fashionista
My favorite thing in Antique Fashionista is the Jane Eyre print. It captures the simplicity and beauty of Jane so well.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/118228575/jane-eyre-5x7-art-print-text-background?ref=shop_home_active_24
Audrey Eclectic
I've been a fan of Heather's on Etsy for a while. I love all of her work. "Maple and Bittersweet" is a longtime favorite of mine. When I get some extra money, I'd like to get a commission of my book club. Two of our members trace their roots to Scandinavia and I think they would really appreciate the style.

I haven't had a lemon cookie in a long time but seeing the picture really makes
me want some.

I love the Steampunk Portrait of Old Mother Time! That is beautiful!! Oh I can't get over it! It's just fantastic!

The Unblocker Dice are a writer's dream! Not just to unblock writer's block but, if I ever wanted to take up writing again, this would be a great way to practice and write for fun. I love them!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/161754508/alice-in-wonderland-unblockers-set-of?ref=shop_home_active_8
Ciarrai Studios
The Persuasion Love Letter Necklace is simply amazing! I love that you can personalize it by birth stone. It's my favorite novel and this is a beautiful piece. There was nothing in this store I didn't love.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/123397283/cute-wood-pendant-collar-laser-cut-hand?ref=shop_home_active_12
The Twenty Fingers
I really liked the Pendant Collar necklaces. They look to lay just below the collarbone and I like the simplicity of the design. It could go with anything.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/123397283/cute-wood-pendant-collar-laser-cut-hand?ref=shop_home_active_12
Artful Tea
You had me at wine. :) The Mulled Wine Fruit Blend Herbal Tea sounds delicious! I especially like that it can be drank hot or cold!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/152683219/mulled-wine-fruit-blend-herbal-tea?ref=shop_home_active_10
A Likely Story
The Shh Librarian keychain is the best! One of my best friends is getting her Master's in Library Sciences and this would be the perfect graduation gift for her!

Your Beeswax
The Sculpted Square Votives are my favorite!! They're adorable and I love that they are small enough so they won't over power any room in my house (all of which are quite small).

"These are a few of my favorite things." Stacks of books and a hot beverage. I love the idea of printables because I can matte them how I want. I bought a sheet of printables with Sherlock Holmes quotes and mod podged them onto tile for a hostess gift.

I had a 50' sock hop for my 16th birthday. It was probably the best birth day party. We had everything from the record player to ice cream with whipped cream and cherries on top . Everyone had a good time and that wad the best thing of all. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday was probably my 6th. I got to sleep in late and eat rice Krispy treats for breakfast. Oh and I got a lot of dress up clothes.
ReplyDeleteMy fav birthday memory is when my brother showed up unexpectedly. He was working overseas at the time so it was so nice to be able to spend time with him.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory was actually after I had quite a sad and rubbish birthday. All of a sudden my friend called and asked if I had time to come over. Turned out he had made me the most amazing gift. It turned the whole day around for me:)

I wanted to do something special for my 25th birthday but I didn't know what even when the family kept asking. I was so surprised when they threw me a big surprise party! My Mom and I also got tickets to watch Broadway's Beauty and the Beast as my birthday/Christmas present. It was my first broadway show!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite b-day memory...good question! I think I would have to say it was the time that my dad had lost his job, and Mom said there might not be a gift that year and then they totally surprised me with the comforter set and a huge body pillow! It was such a blessing and the surprise is what made it the most memorable :) Plus, it was pink!

Is it obvious I just watched Pride and Prejudice a couple of hours ago? It can’t compare to the book, but it’s still swoon-worthy.
Have the prizes/winners been announced yet?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering that too:) I can't seem to find anything.
