It is my distinct pleasure to welcome Jane Austen to Oahu as part of Sourcebooks' promotion, Around the World with Jane Austen:
In the June memoir, All Roads Lead to Austen, the author Amy Elizabeth Smith took Jane Austen’s works along with her as she traveled to foreign countries. Her goal was to see if the magic of Jane Austen could hold its power across borders, languages and cultures.

Nice pictures. I like lilies.
ReplyDeleteJane looks like she is having a blast. She has also be visiting in my area and I have posted on my blog.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flower is the hibiscus.
Can't name one! Love roses, daises, sunflowers and foxgloves. Those are my top fav!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is a rose, but that is because it was my great grandmother's name. As far as smell goes, it would be Hyacinths. I think that Calla Lilies are very pretty. I guess that would be 3 favorites. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute post. I wish I was Jane Austen. I want to visit Hawaii!
