What little girl (or grown women) hasn't been caught daydreaming of simpler times. Of course one can argue that having to do EVERYTHING the hard way by hand wasnt so simple...but lets pretend we were rich enough to not worry with such trifles.......posh...
My favorite way to slip away and imagine for awhile is by picking up a trusted Jane Austen novel or even these days sitting down to a Jane Austen film. Some of the best to come along lately are the PBS Masterpiece Theater versions of several of these classic tales. Emma is and will probably always be my favorite Austen novel. There is just something about her....something I relate to in an odd sort of way.....Maybe its her outspokenness and stubornness or maybe the hopeless romantic that wants to match make for everyone but herself....
If you have not seen these films I really encourage you to do so. If you subscribe to netflix they have tons of really good period films in their instant play list. They sent me a disc that syncs our Wii with my online account and I can watch any of them right on my TV!
Are you a sucker for period film or the classic novels that inspired them?

I saw the box set of Masterpiece Emma at Target! Got so excited! We are definitely on the same wave length with period pieces and literature...Love me some historical romance and Jane Austen! =) Dessa
