“There is a gentleman with him, mamma,” said Kitty; “who can it be?” “Some acquaintance or other, my dear, I suppose; I am sure I do not know.” “La!” replied Kitty, “it looks just like that man that used to be with him before. Mr. what’s-his-name. That tall, proud man.” “Good gracious! Mr. Darcy!" . Mr. Darcy's portrait and Mr. Darcy soap, together at last:) I don't know where the inspiration came for this portrait, but he looks like a great Darcy! I just love the illustrations that are part of the Franklin Library set. . #franklinlibrary #mrdarcy #handmadesoap #austenaddict #prideandprejudice #bookish #janeausten

“Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.” ~excerpt from Captain Wentworth’s letter to Anne Elliot, from Jane Austen’s Persuasion. . Captain Wentworth's moving letter is one of my favorite passages of Jane Austen. Always worth quoting! It has not been intentional that I have neglected Persuasion in my soap creations, it was just a matter of too many things I want to do and not enough time:) . Introducing, "Captain Wentworth's Constancy." It is quite a masculine scent of tobacco and black tea, with fruit and spice. The perfect scent for a 19th century gentleman and navy captain who has seen much and traveled far. The deep blue hue is constant throughout the bar, which is the color of the sea (where Captain Wentworth spent eight years separated from Anne Elliot). Thanks to Shandy on Twitter for suggesting this title! . This soap will be curing for several more weeks and will be listed just after Christmas. If one of you is itching to give it as a Christmas gift, let me know and I can list a bar for you (it will have a handwritten label). . #persuasion #janeausten #bookish #austenaddict #bibliophile #captainwentworth

“...as there are no husbands and wives in the case at present, I will break my resolution now.” Mr. Elton seemed very properly struck and delighted by the idea, and was repeating, “No husbands and wives in the case at present indeed, as you observe. Exactly so. No husbands and wives,” with so interesting a consciousness, that Emma began to consider whether she had not better leave them together at once. But as she wanted to be drawing, the declaration must wait a little longer. ~Emma speaking to Mr. Elton. Excerpt from Jane Austen’s, Emma, with regard to sketching Harriet Smith. .

My first Etsy review 💙💙💙. An excuse to eat cake perhaps? "You know how interesting the purchase of a sponge-cake is to me." -Jane Austen's letter to Cassandra, June 15, 1808 . #austenaddict #janeausten #handmadesoap #etsy
