Kindred Spirits

Test your knowledge...do you know where these quotes are from?

"Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds."

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

"Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing."

"Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?"

"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. --Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do."

We had a Anne of Green Gables/English/Pride and Prejudice party at my house the other night for the Beehives...and it was so fun.
We took things from my Anne of Green Gables Treasury book and divided out recipes: cucumber sandwiches, lemon biscuits and gingerbread. We also had strawberries and cream, biscuits, scones and yummy pink lemonade.

I also made some place card holders...

We watched the first 30 minutes of Pride and Prejudice and before that we did a craft project...hats. The girls took ribbon, flowers and flower wire and decorated their own "Anne" hat. Unfortunately I ended up helping everyone so I didn't' get to take many pictures but here is how mine turned out.

Then I needed someone to model it....GABRIELLA!


It was hysterical watching her with this hat...so I went I little picture crazy!
Okay, here is my cheesy pic...




Attack of the HAT!

Can't SEE..........GET THIS OFF ME!
