Amazed




Okay guys I am just amazed by the amount of blogging that happens about fashion history particulary about the 18th century and early 19th century. It seems to range from looking at life in these time periods or actually trying to make clothes from these time periods. I have tried following a lot of them but it is becoming so much and I know there are still uncharted waters. I am not going to follow blogs that talk about how to make fashion, mostly because my interest is in studying how fashion reflected the people's lives.

On the left hand side you can see a lot of the blogs I follow that cover Jane Austen, Gossip in 18th Century, writing blogs and other blogs on fashion. I have also found blogs on gardening, folk art, Christian living, things about London, movies, book reviews.Once again I am amazed about the wide range of blogs and basically if you have an interest there is probably a blog out there for you. And if not make one!

Some of the blogs I love to follow...
Jane Austen Today

The Duchess of Devonshire Gossip Guide

Two Nerdy History Girls

Living on Literary Lane

Enchanted Serenity of Period Films

Some of these blogs have been essential in helping me set up the tabs on the top.




My hints on finding blogs google (you don't have to use google) search a term you are interested in for example "writing blogs" the find one that looks interesting. Most Blogs list what blogs they follow, look at them to find more blogs on things you like. I have even found a blog on NASCAR through doing this and there are lots of blogs on being a mom. I like doing all this when I am on my coffee breaks or just need a mental break from work and I will admit some times its hard not getting sucked into the virtual world.




Well I hope you enjoy the vast world of blogging.

Hi Blaire!~
This is Heather, I was given a link to your blog by your grandma, Jane :) We go to the same church and when I told her I did Jane Austen inspired art and ceramics she thought we'd get on well :) I think she's right!
There are tons of blogs out there. Sometimes its so inspiring, and sometimes it can be overwhelming. Its always nice to meet people with whom you have things in common with. Happy blogging! And writing too!~

Hi Heather,
Yes Jane mentioned you on Sunday when I spoke to them. I am glad you found me.
I have been obbessed with Jane Austen since high school and looking at world of blogging I am not alone.
I have just recently become a better blogger so I am still finding blogs to follow. But sometimes I get so lost in it I forgot where I started.
Have a good day,
-Blaire
