Celebrating Jane: Tempting Tea Parties for Non-Janeites

I wasn’t born into a family of fiction readers. My immediate and extended relations might skim articles about current news & events or flip through some nonfiction bestsellers with mild interest, but they’ve always been more inclined toward the math and science fields rather than  whimsical worlds or imaginary characters.

Gems in Regency England

Good morning everyone! Recently, I stumbled down a research rabbit hole while writing my WIP and thought I would share. I needed a gemstone that was semi-precious, something Mr. Bennet could gift to Elizabeth that an unwanted and controlling husband would not deem as worth anything—therefore, he would not confiscate it. After digging around, I …
