It is that time of year when we start looking for calendars for 2015. I always want one for myself but then I like to look for some specialty calendars for friends and family as part of their Christmas. As many of you are aware, I have done a Pride & Prejudice calendar for the last two years and I have one for 2015 too. To honor the 20th anniversary of the 1995 BBC/A&E miniseries of
Pride & Prejudice, the new calendar Longbourn to Pemberley, has photos from many of the film locations.
There is a nod to the 2005 movie since it also celebrates an anniversary, its 10th!
Each month highlights a location that follows as closely to its occurrence in the miniseries/movie as can be expected with only twelve pictures. Several other photos are scattered throughout the calendar, along with some interesting film facts. The fun part of making this calendar was deciding which pictures to use...too many pictures but too little space!
The calendar showcases quotes from books by many of our favorite authors. I am sure everyone will enjoy reading those quotes as much as I did. Holidays that are included are for the US, UK and Canada, as well as dates for many of the Jane Austen Festivities throughout the year.
A big 'thank you' goes to Cassandra Grafton for allowing me to use a couple of her pictures in the calendar. Copyright credit is given accordingly.

The new calendar looks lovely, Janet. I can't wait to see inside it!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas bauble is adorable too! What a great thing to have on the tree every year! I think I may start doing a small Austen-themed tree in addition to my main one! Thanks for the inspiration!
The Austen-themed tree sounds like a great idea. I may need to do that too. Glad you like the Christmas bauble. Be looking for a different one in the next few days.
DeleteI love the idea of a commemorative calendar. My favorite setting with that cliff one. Neat!
ReplyDeleteChristmas Kiss collection is gorgeous. I love the tile and ornaments.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity

Isn't that a beautiful setting. I loved it too. Cassandra Grafton supplied that photo for the calendar. I was so excited to include it and thank her very much.
DeleteGlad you like the Christmas Kiss collection. I'm hoping to have some coasters soon.
I love your 2013 and 2014 calendars, and am so looking forward to 2015!!! I love all your work, Janet, and will be ordering my calendar soon. Items from your website are my gifts to myself!

Thank you, Catherine. I'm so happy to hear your wonderful comments. I'll be adding more mugs pics in a day or two.
DeleteGorgeous! I love the pictures, such perfect choices for an anniversary calendar! Please don't enter me in the giveaway, the goodies are coming my way soon - can't wait!!!! I just wanted to pop by to say thanks, Janet, for such a wonderful treat!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you popped in, Joana. It's always lovely to have you visit. Thank you. :)
DeleteThe locations chosen for the calendar are gorgeous and amazing, Janet. And I love looking at your specially commissioned Christmas items especially the cards. Thank you for your generous offer.

You are welcome, Sylvia. I'm so happy you stopped by. Thank you for the kind words. As for the locations chosen, I really had a difficult time choosing only 12. There were so many fabulous places we visited and I literally took 100's of photos. I wanted to include more! :)
DeleteThe pictures look lovely, Janet. It's hard to believe it's nearly 20 years since Mr. Firth and Ms. Ehle has us glued to our TV sets on a Sunday evening here in the UK. And it certainly doesn't seem like nearly 10 since I sat in the cinema on my own (husband and son wouldn't go, they saw another film showing at the same time in the multiplex) watching Mr. MacFadyen and Ms. Knightley. Mind you, I wasn't the only woman in there sitting by herself!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway.

It is hard to believe, isn't it? I still love to watch the miniseries and think I am due another viewing soon. It has been awhile. I bet you were not the only woman sitting by herself at the cinema watching the movie! It has some glorious settings too, doesn't it.
DeleteThanks for visiting, Anji, and good luck.
This calendar is just gorgeous. Absolutely beautifully done, Janet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joy! So happy that you think so. I enjoy doing them.
DeleteOh I've been looking for a fun JA calendar and this is by far my favorite! Would love to win a copy - madeleine.everse@gmail.com. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
ReplyDeleteOh, Madeleine. I'm sorry to say that the deadline for the giveaway is past. I will be posting the winner tomorrow. It is available for sale on my website though. http://www.jt-originals.com. I hope you will visit. I have less than 12 calendars left. They went very fast this year!
