Candlebox Makeover

Some time ago I posted about some projects that I was working on and finally I am visiting at Tim's Mom's house so that I can upload the pictures (on her super fast web connection). Here are the before and after pictures.



The Green one is now black.




The blue one is red.
These fit my decor much better. I will have to ask my husband to make another
so that I can have a white one too.

Jane Austen Fan Fiction and More

Sometime after Christmas I had a strong desire to read...and I wanted to read books related to Jane Austen's World and characters, so these are the books that I have spent all of winter and spring reading.

Duty and Desire
Ted and Marilyn Bader

Mrs. Darcy's Dilemma
Diana Birchall

Mr. Darcy's Diary
Amanda Grange

Mr. Knightley's Diary
Amanda Grange

Conviction
Skylar Hamilton Burris

Lydia Bennet's Story
Jane Odiwe

Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride
Helen Halstead

The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy
Mary Street

Letters From Pemberley
Jane Dawkins

Just Jane
Jane Moser

Captain Wentworth's Dairy
Amande Grange

The Darcy Connection
Elizabeth Aston

Mr. Darcy's Dream
Elizabeth Aston

Teverton Hall
Jane Gillespie

Brightsea
Jane Gillispie

I enjoyed most of the books very well, however there were a few that changed the character of the characters so much that I did not like what they became.

And here are a few that I read that were not Jane Austen related:

Lord Deverill's Secret
Amanda Grange

A Lady of Secret Devotion
Tracie Peterson

A Lady of High Regard
Tracie Peterson

Happy Reading
Mrs. Sensibility
