Jane Austen Inspired Writing Box | Girl and Quill

[@theprismaticoracle]

I love this entire idea! I’m going to copy you ❤❤

[@roadrunnerand1]

I found it too endearing...the way you positioned the Jane Austin Ink Bottle..on this side of the camera it appears Jane is looking at your box as if saying "yes yes this is mine". Heehee☺😉

[@GirlandQuill]

roadrunnerand1 I didn’t even notice that until you pointed it out, haha. Love it! Thanks for watching!

Such a gorgeous writing box! I’m inspired to find one of my own now.

[@GirlandQuill]

writingonsunshine They are lovely things to have. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

You could always use iron gall ink, like what Jane Austen would have used. There are even recipes out there if you wanted to make your own!

[@esmereldakaffeeklatch8812]

But of course that is a lovely ink. I have it too :)

[@painchaud2000]

Oh pretty cool!

[@hooimingng5924]

I just bought an early 19th century writing box from a local auction and my intentions was to use it but it’s not useable for what I wanted it for. It’s in good considering but it’s in need of some repairs and for it’s age I’d hate to cause any damage. Trust me if you end up getting an old writing box you won’t want to use it!! They are more of a collectors piece!

[@esmereldakaffeeklatch8812]

Lovely! If you find an ink bottle that fits in the desk, you could always decant some of your ink into that bottle. Goulet Pens often offers empty ink bottles. You can also find little paint jars at hobby and art supply stores.

[@GirlandQuill]

Both tips are so helpful. Thank you!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

What a pretty box! I love writing boxes too. Do you keep this one on your desk or pull it out when you're using it?

[@GirlandQuill]

Kimmy Vera I do, I keep both on my desk, though they take up quite a bit of space! They just look wonderful sitting there, I’m always inspired by them.

[@ruthlward3240]

Why not purchase an antique inkwell and fill it with the ink of your choosing?

[@SouthShorePaper]

It was very interesting and such a beautiful box . I hope you find a real treasure one day !

[@GirlandQuill]

That is how I journal, just fountain pen and Tomoe River paper (Nanami seas A5 notebook) in a beautiful Oberon Designs cover

[@GirlandQuill]

Nancy Rudy I used to journal very simply, it’s way to easy to get caught up in all the extras.

"Too authentic" as there is literally nothing authentic about this video. Smh. As someone who likes to do everything the old/hard way... this is such a disappointment.
