For Dennis, Maxwell and Madeleine H. K.
For Aunt Alison, who taught me to love Jane Austen J.A.
We can never get enough Jane Austen. We read and reread her novels, watch the movies, and even go see every new movie Colin Firth appears in just to get a glimpse of the former Mr. Darcy. We buy journals and calendars, quote books and magnets and cards. We buy them for ourselves and our fellow Austen lovers. I Heart Jane! our T-Shirts and throw pillows proclaim.
Just what Jane Austen means to us and why her work has endured so splendidly for two centuries is a subject for another bookand, in fact, many well-written books, scholarly and otherwise, are devoted to just that question. ( A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me about Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter, by William Deresiewicz, is not to be missed.)
Yet this book attempts to do something altogether different. In honor of Jane Austens 200th birthday we present to you So Jane. It brings all things Austen into your daily life of decorating, gift giving, and entertaining. Its a collection of Austen-inspired crafts and recipes that weave together story lines and characters from Austens six novels, with a glimpse into Austens world and daily life as well.
The book is organized by chapter, one for each novel. Use the menus and themed crafts for parties and get-togethers or just to have fun on a rainy afternoon. So Jane also includes great crafts to do with kids. In these pages youll find inspiration for a Jane Austenthemed bridal shower, a tea with friends, or a birthday party for your favorite Janeite.
Enjoy your own Box Hill Picnic or throw a Christmas dinner party with the menu from the Netherfield Ball chapter. Decorate with Emma and Mr. Knightleys Paper Chandelier, make tea towels and handmade soap for guests who are staying over, or create wind chimes as gifts for friends.
All Jane Austen, all the time! Bernadette exclaims in the movie The Jane Austen Book Club. This book will help you achieve just that. And there are worse mottos, we think.
What Would Jane Do? Get cooking and crafting!
Happy, happy breakfast!
Northanger Abbey
What better way to start things off than by making decoupage letters that spell the word Janeite, declaring to all who visit your home what literary star is your favorite. These letters would also make an excellent table display for any Jane Austenthemed party.
| 5-inch cardboard letters in J, A, N, E, I, T, E (from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores) |
| Variety of patterned and colored papers (thicker works better) |
| Craft knife or scissors |
| Mod Podge, in matte |
| Medium-sized plastic bowl |
| Sponge brush |
| Walnut ink in spray bottle |
| Tissues |
Step 1: Assign each letter a paper pattern. Find a combination that looks good.
Step 2: Starting with the J, place it face down on the back of its corresponding paper. Using the cardboard letter as a template, trace its shape onto the paper with a pencil. Cut out the letter shape.
Step 3: Pour some Mod Podge in a plastic bowl.
Step 4: Use a sponge brush to apply Mod Podge to the front and back of the paper letter cutout, making sure the sealer is covering all areas. Stick the cutout on the front of the J and press down to adhere.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2 and 4 for the remaining letters. Let sealer dry overnight.
Step 6: Working with one letter at a time, spray walnut ink on the outside edges. Use tissues to blend and work in the ink for a distressed and antique effect. Let ink dry overnight.
Tip: If using as a table display, cover both sides of each letter for a complete, finished look.
| 8 ounces dark chocolate |
| 4 cups whole milk |
| 1 cinnamon stick |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 3 teaspoons sugar |
| 1/8 teaspoon salt |
| Whipped cream, optional |
Finely chop the chocolate into small pieces.
Place the milk in a small, heavy pan and bring to a simmer over low heat, being careful not to scald it.
Add the cinnamon stick and remove pan from heat. Allow the cinnamon to steep for 10 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
Return pan to heat. Stir in the vanilla, sugar, salt, and chocolate pieces; whisk until chocolate has melted. Once the chocolate has melted, heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Makes 4 servings
Hot cocoa reached the British Isles as a drink as early as the 1650s. It made its way from Spain, where chiles were a major ingredient in chocolate drinks. This recipe for hot chocolate is perhaps less historically accurate, but better for modern tastes.
This Jane Silhouette Placemat design is a novel idea for the breakfast table. Follow the supply list and instructions here to make one placemat. Make more placemats in complementary fabrics and felts to create a collectible series by embroidering each of Austens novel titles on a placemat.
| Fusible interfacing |
| Iron |
| 2 (17 x 17-inch) pieces coordinating fabric (small-patterned fabric will work better than large-patterned) |
