Libby, this was absolutely phenomenal, and certainly a video that I can't wait to recommend to everyone come Jane Austen July! I especially loved how you modernized aspects of your day while staying true to the historical spirit of the activity.

I hope you do come back one day I always enjoyed your thoughts and still think of you, amongst other quick associations, at some point when picking up a Hardy.
