Welcome to a new week! Let’s make it a good one, okay?
Have you seen the Jane Austen board books for children? I hadn’t until a few months ago when I visited Daughter the Younger. She began reading when she was four years old and — thankfully — hasn’t stopped since! Of course she would discover these books for her little ones …
And of course she’s putting together the cutest little reading space in her house … and Jane Eyre is helping her.
As Jane counted 10 BOOKS, Daughter the Younger thought, “Hmmm” …
then started designing.
then started designing.
Then, this Nonna got invited to play, too! I pulled out my Silhouette cutter, downloaded her design, cut it out in vinyl, put it in the mail … and now a Baby Jane-inspired bookshelf welcomes Little Man and Little Sir to their reading nook.

| I wish I could tell you it was as easy as that sounds, but I had a few challenges and learned more about my Silhouette cutter in the process. |
Do you have any wall decals in your home? I have a couple. One is in the kitchen; the other at the top of the stairs leading to the garage … so I’ll see it every time I leave the house.
A Houzz ideabook author recently wrote, “I think wall decals might be here to stay for short-life rooms like nurseries, but their best days are behind them for adult spaces.” I think I might agree with her. What do you think?

Jane Austen board books? OH MY! I am going to look for these! How charming! Happy Monday!
I haven’t seen these books, but will definitely think of them for gifts. What a great idea!
The board books are cute for little readers.
Jane Austen for children? I’ll be hunting for those!
The board books do look cute, a great idea for the children! Great post, have a happy week!
So cute and what a great idea. It familiarizes them with good literature right off the bat. Hard to find in children’s books. I don’t have any decals but love looking at them. Can’t believe you make your own silhouettes. So very cool. (love the books) I am visiting from met morph and so glad I stopped in. Have a great week. God Bless, Wanda
I have no wall decals, but I would like to have at least one on my Family Room wall. Thanks for sharing these blue books.
Happy Blue Monday, Susan.
Books are a blessing to us all. That is such a good trait for the younger generation.
Such a positive thing for your daughter to do – encouraging enjoyment of books and reading with her little ones. I am now on the lookout for those Jane Austen little books!

Hi, Susan! I might’ve missed this informative post if you hadn’t visited me first (and thank you for your sweet comments about my blue and white vignette), because I just haven’t been visiting as much, soo I’m so glad I got here! It’s great to know about these books–I will surely be looking for them! I hope someday you’ll tell us more about your Silhouette–I’m so intrigued by them and would love to know how you use it/the projects you use it for.
I am amazed at your memory that Sweet Mr. Bright Eyes has a first bday coming up–April 16. Just this evening his mama and I talked about how the time has flown by. He is a precious, precious baby boy. Thanks so much for remembering; that really touched my heart. 🙂 ~Zuni
Looks interesting.
My Blue Monday.
the books look fun…I have wall decals in my rent house and I love them, they are around our family pictures
They are so cute, I did see a couple at the bookstore and spent some time flipping through them.
Our party is on at:

I’d love to read the sense and sensibility.
