Back to School Reading: Jane Austen Mugs

2009_08_27-Mug.jpgClass is back in session, and so are the classics. If you'll permit us a bit of nostalgia for one of our own favorite authors — in and out of the classroom — we'd like to show you our new favorite mugs. Do you recognize this quote? It's from Jane Austen, and there are two more favorite quotes below.

 
 

2009_08_27-Mug2.jpgThe two famous quotes above are from Pride and Prejudice, of course, and we think their handwritten presence on these classic white mugs is very charming.

Find them!
There's nothing like..., $14 from Brookish
In vain I have..., $14 from Brookish
How shall I bear..., $14 from Brookish

Gretchenalexis: I do, you can buy them for me ; )

Several years ago I bought an Austen mug from her house. It has her picture and "I am excessively diverted" on it. Can't find a picture of it, and I cannot believe that i don't have one myself.

Hooray for Jane mugs. Jane anything really.

I love these, but $14 for one mug? Kinda pricey. :/
