Ok — the totally by accident option really made me LOL Vic! If I put up such a poll on my blog, I know that fate would hand me such honest readers! Just kidding! *wink* *wink*

I’m a regular visitor who found this great blog by accident, and who also happens to be a history buff who likes to read everything about Jane Austen :D

I’m a Regency author and love all things Jane Austen. I find the time period fascinating. Check out my website of resources for Regency readers and writers at http://www.joannawaugh.com and my blog about British customs and holidays at http://www.myspace.com/joannawaugh and http://www.joannawaugh.blogspot.com My novel, BLIND FORTUNE released in July from Cerridwen Press.

I think I stumbled across your blog when I was searching “Jane Austen” in Google Reader. Looked at some posts and instantly subscribed. Now I look forward to reading during my lunch!

Thank you ALL for your fabulous comments. Goodness, but I must keep blogging about JA! So many of you are regular visitors that I blush at the thought.

I would like a couple of dresses that are replicas of the types of dresses as seen in Jane Austen movies.
Are you able to lead me to a site where I can buy them?

thank you, Teresa

Teresa,

Try Dressing History at http://www.dressing-history.co.uk/pages/

If she cannot help, she might know of costumers in your area. Good luck. Vic

I’m writing my second Regency novel which is mainly set in Bath. I want to get everything as true to history as I can. Jane Austen’s World blog looks a marvellous place to discover things. Thank you. Laurel

Am reading Northinger Abbey and was looking for background on the various Bath venues Austen references.
