Book Mark Set Description: 

Both of these bookmarks are prints of Ms. Laurence's original watercolors, and are done in a rich blue and soft brown palette.

I am half agony, half hope" is on the back. Anne is wearing a brown day dress with muslin gothic sleeves and a cozy blue cashmere shawl.

Jane Austen Pin Decription:

 The paragraph behind the portrait of Jane Austen is from Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Darcy says to Elizabeth Bennet, "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
