The Booty From the Pemberley Ball!!!!

Lady Vee was so generous to provide me with some booty from the Pemberley Ball! The Darcy Surprise Pack, indeed!!!!

Jane Austen necklace got cut off...sigh. It is beautiful!

I received the book The Phantom of Pemberley by Regina Jeffers, Pride and Prejudice Paper Dolls, a Starbucks coffee sample and dark chocolate bar (yummy)!, two Jane Austenesque pages and cards! And a beautiful Jane Austen necklace! This was more than I could have hoped for! Thank you, Lady Vee.

My fondest regards,
Lady Godiva

Pemberley Ball 2010

Velvet over at vvb32 reads is hosting her second annual Pemberley Ball! Yeah! This is a great excuse to get me to come out of my partial blogging hiatus for a weekend of blogging fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my attendance last year and even won a prize! Check out this link for a way to RSVP and enter her Darcy-licious surprise giveaway (it's open til November 20th).

I am Lady Godiva and will be arriving with clothing and not on a horse. I recall quite the zombie antics last year and am looking forward to more such undead antics, as well as lots of wine.

I also am looking forward to any young Darcys! Let the dance begin!

Pemberley Ball RSVP

Greetings! I am Lady Godiva, wife of Lord Archibald of America. My dear husband is taking me over to his beloved home land of England and there we will be staying with our dear friends the Bingleys. I guess I should it's my homeland as well, but I was born here in the Americas. I met my dear husband when he came over for business.

The Bingleys have invited us to a ball in Derbyshire at the Pemberley Estate and a Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy will be our host. I hear he has 10,000 a year! Alas, I fear I have not a chance since I am already married, but a lady may look, no? But I also have heard strange rumors about the Darcy family...brooding, proud, secretive, dark, and mysterious...I feel a slight shudder of fear...and yet longing...

Here is my beautiful gown with which I shall grace Pemberley Ball:













And I drew this little sketch of how I envision my Mr. Darcy:
