Fashion Plate Wallpapers: 18th Century, Regency & Romantic eras

[olde_fashioned]

Three different wallpapers, with the first being a Watteau painting, the second a Regency fashion plate, and the third also having a fashion plate, this time from the 1830s. Please comment if taking, and enjoy!



Watteau's The Dance

(Just the one size on this one, sorry.)


A Regency fashion plate that I colored myself, with a Jane Austen quote.

I also made two icons to go with the Regency wallpaper



A 1830s fashion plate. Think Wives & Daughters. ;-)

It absolutely baffles me as to why Gaskell is so ignored. It doesn't make any sense! But at least your boyfriend can get you a copy. I know Borders here where I live has the Norton Critical editions of N&S in their regular stock, if you decide you like it.

Netflix has tons of otherwise hard-to-find movies, tv shows, documentaries, even music videos. No, they're not at all expensive IMO. I think it's about $5.95 for one DVD at a time per month. (are you familiar with the concept?) But when you think about it, renting a regular DVD in a movie rental store is about $6 too, but with Netflix you get as many as you can watch, not just one.

P.S. I do, now. My brother bought me costume dramas for Christmas. :-) I ended up renting it twice though, before December, because I wanted to watch it again! (needless to say, it now practically lives in our DVD player. *hee*)

So wait, it's only $5.95 per month? Or is $5.95 each and every rental you make? If I were to rent a few movies and actually make it worth it, it would probably be very good. I'll check out the website and consider signing up.

Your brother sounds so kind. :D

Okay, I just went and looked at the two smallest plans. I hope this isn't a local thing and that yours would be different! It says that for 1 at-a-time (up to 2 a month) it's $4.99 a month. Then there's 1 at-a-time (Unlimited) - $8.99 a month. I don't know how many movies you can watch, but for us, the unlimited is a great deal. If you watch a lot, then the unlimited ones are perfect, because that means that as fast as you can watch them, and mail them back out, you can keep getting movies. So if you manage to watch 5 movies in 1 month for $8.99, that's less than two dollars a rental! Way cheaper than a video store. ;-)

He is! I love him to death. :-D *hugs brother*
