In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end...
A friend forwards me things like these now and then (Thanks, Mareng Chet). I thought they would be nice for T13. They're all over the internet but I would never have noticed them if they weren't sent to me. I bet my broken bread toaster and extension cord this is not new to some of you either. But just for fun, which one to you is most ingeniously done?

Some of these make me sad, though. It's hard to see how difficult life is for some people (and if you want more good ones, check out Lovely Listings. One of my favorite sites on the Net!)
Hugs and blessings,
I might repost this on my blog sometime if you don't mind.

I thought the weenie multiple roaster was clever!
Actually the sprinkler soda bottle is a great reuse of of something you'd otherwise throw away. Very "Green". That's "in" now.
My favorite is the basket bike. Who couldn't use one of those?
