A Little Coloring Fun

Genesee Country Village and Museum 1810
"...she very kindly took his part in hand, and curtailed every speech that admitted being shortened; besides pointing out the necessity of his being very much dressed, and chusing his colours." 
Maansfield Park chapter 15

An added note: Lisa Brown just supplied us with a few more pictures to color. So if you have already filled in all the lines there are a few more at the link below. Have fun!

Looking for an amusing activity while we weather the pandemic storm? Lisa Brown has sent along  some coloring pages of Regency fashions provided by Genesee Country Village and Museum. Along with the coloring pages there are pictures of the original outfits. There are also two views of Chawton Cottage that can be colored. These can all be found at:



You can watch Jennifer Ehle reading Pride and Prejudice on YouTube at Pride and Prejudice read by Jennifer Ehle

There will also be a livestream of a new musical called Pride and Prejudice a new Musical. Registration for this event is at Pride and Prejudice a new Musical

Hopefully our region will be able to gather again in the fall for more lively discussions of all things Austen. Time will tell.
