Jane Austen Day at Winterthur
The Winterthur Museum in Delaware will be holding a Jane Austen Day on Sunday, October 15, 2006.
Immerse yourself in the world of author, Jane Austen. Learn about the etiquette of taking tea, listen to selections of her novels, and try a letter box hunt through the garden. Fans will love hearing Elizabeth Steele, of the North American Jane Austen Society, present “Jane Austen, Mistress of Irony.” And more!
Admission to this event is included with general admission.
Elizabeth Steele is the regional coordinator of the Eastern Pennsylvania/Delaware Valley Region of JASNA and a Friend of AustenBlog. We are certain that her talk will be excellent. 
Visitors to Winterthur at that time may also see costumes from the 1995 film adaptation of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY at the “Fashion in Film” exhibition.

I saw this exhibit last year at our local museum. The costumes were gorgeous but the stars of the exhibit (for me) were from Sense and Sensibility, Col. Brandon’s uniform and Marianne Dashwood’s wedding gown. I hope that this is the same collection that was exhibited here.
