Giveaway Time!
October 13, 2017
Today I received some Jane Austen ten-pound notes from a great friend in England. I’ve also been cleaning my office. What does this have to do with giving gifts? Oh my goodness! You can’t imagine how many treasures I’ve found. Pemberley t-shirts, Pride & Prejudice scarves, Jane Austen candles, tea, Pride & Prejudice peacock edition notebooks, journals, Jane Austen ink & pens…and the list goes on.
I’m going in for surgery this next week to get a new hip (I’m thrilled). After the recovery, I plan to box all the goodies up and send them off to individuals selected from my mailing list. Yes, I ship internationally.
This is EXCITING!!! (Are you signed up? If not, look to the right of this post for the link, please.)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thank you so much, Mary. I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to getting this done. My bicycle wreck was over a year ago. I will need further surgery to repair the muscles and tendons after this heals but this is an important start. Best wishes for the giveaway. I’m excited for that too. (I suspect sometime in mid to late November.)
Kathy Berlin
I am happy to hear you are starting your journey to becoming well again. Best wishes.
J "Joy" Dawn King
Thanks, Kathy. My goal is to be able to run, not just walk, to my favorite book store. I’m hopeful.

All the best and wishing you a ‘speedy’ recovery!!! I had no idea you had such a terrible bike accident! You bring such ‘Joy’ to all of us with your generous spirit!!!
J "Joy" Dawn King
Ha Ha! I would love to tell you that the crash was spectacular. The truth is I fell over after coming to a complete stop. My leg tangled in the chair. Total uncoordination on my part. You are quite the wordsmith, Carole. Happy weekend!
Daniela Quadros
You always have the best giveaways, Joy! I hope your surgery goes well and you recover very quickly. Sending you good thoughts all the way from Brazil. 🙂

Obrigado, Daniela. I do love sharing. Apparently, I love shopping too. Too much, perhaps. This will be good to give away so I can start all over again.
