Isn't she lovely? The pretty Jane in my header? I'm so proud of my new avatar and of my new header! Of course, she's Jane Austen just as I imagine her, between past and present. A cup of tea in her hand and a laptop instead of paper and a quill, books on the table, always nearby. What do you think? Wouldn't she have been a terrific blogger if she had lived nowadays? I bet, a very successful one!
That's lovely Jane, certainly. However, I like to think that's also me, always moving between my books and my computer , between the past and the present, with a cup or a mug at hand. Maybe not wearing a long, elegant, Regency dress actually, but virtually.
The new graphics for my Jane Austen Book Club have been designed by talented Cecilia Latella and I'm so gratefully she perfectly caught what I wanted and made my wishes beautiful, colourful images. Thank you so much, Cecilia!
To discover more about Cecilia and her work I suggest a visit to her personal blog
