Celebrating Jane Austen's 250th Birthday!

Jane Austen is one of the world’s most popular novelists. To celebrate her 250th birthday in December of this year we’ll be serving English tea and shortbread and are bringing in Austen expert Barry Cole. He will lead a program about Austen, discussing her life, writing history, and the enduring appeal of Pride and Prejudice and her other works. There’s a lot to celebrate! With thanks to Joshua at the Eastbrook Flea Market for sourcing proper porcelain teacups.
