The Little White Attic provides beautiful images in preparation for her trip to the Jane Austen meeting in Portland, including a glimpse of her gown. Lovely.

The Oregon Regency Society has done the lion's share of the work organizing this conference. With four chapters in the state -Northwest, Central Valley, Cascade East, and Puget Sound - I am sure they had plenty of help! I am sure that this year's Regency dance will rock!

The Oregon Regency Society also has a forum. Click here to share your thoughts with other Janeites.

Laurel Ann describes her first day at the conference on Austenprose.

Diana Birchall's blog post on Light, Bright, and Sparkling! reminds me of my trip to the Oregon Coast years ago.

It's that time of year again for the Jane Austen Society of North America's annual meeting, October 29-31. Pauline Beard (an English professor and Jane Austen scholar) and Susan Schwartz (shown below) were two of the conference's organizers.
