My heart skipped a beat when I saw this old dress at the antique market today. This is what I would classify as my "Lizzy" dress. I am a great Jane Austen fan and Elizabeth Bennett is who I strongly identify with in the world of Jane Austen. I plan on wearing this lovely number with a pair of boots! But before I do that , I have to prepare Andrew who finds my " Pride and Prejudice " world a little strange.....

Hi Kelly and Sara

Just checked out you blog which is lovely, by the way. This particular picture with this beautiful dress caused me to be a follower though...lol. Beautiful!
Hello Erin
Glad you like the dress. I am inches away from wearing it now. Its been washed and ironed. I wonder who wore it before me???
Love your blog too.

Very pretty Suzanne!
Thank you Nichole
LOL, Suz... I sometimes need to prepare my Good Man too! I've become more 'out there' since he married me but, luckily, I do make him laugh! He came home the other day to see me gardening in K's 'prairie' bonnet... it was just so good for keeping the sun off my face :-)
Thanks for posting on 'Friday's Nature Table'.
Blessings and magic.
Hi Donni

I just found your blog too! I have been sitting here for over 2 hours reading so it escapes me where i found you but i am so glad that i did! I loved reading about your homeschooling activities with your children and have only just started my adventure in homeschooling and waldorf.
I hope you post a picture of the dress on you!

Sorry its Melissa, thanks for visiting my blog too!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, although you came to it at an unusual time, because I've abandoned it for my old blog. However, I am so very glad I found your blog and I am completely jealous of you Lizzy dress. Jane Austen would be pleased.
