In a past life . . .

I was Marianne Dashwood

Of course she is a fictional character; I know that, thank you very much.

But,just maybe, I was Jane Austen's inspiration for the character in Sense & Sensibility.

As a young girl I was known to be reckless with my heart and very dramatic.

I was swept away by some very charming boys, who eventually broke my heart.

Fortunately, like Miss Marianne, I grew up, eventually came to my senses and made the more sensible (and all around better) choice -

My own Colonel Brandon (aka - Dave) and we have lived a happy life together ever since.

I love getting caught up in Jane Austen's world.

ps - don't you just love the clothes?
