What’s In My Writing Box - Jane Austen Inspired Journaling July 2021

This is inspired by the Jane Austen July readathon hosted by channels Books and Things, Blatantly Bookish and Spinster’s Library. I, being a stationery channel, have been inspired to create a journal kit that will make the month of journaling even more enjoyable by using an unconventional container (the writing box) to house supplies, use my dip pens and wax and seals more and explore all things Austen.

I absolutely love your writing box, I'd love one, the Journal with me sounds great.

[@francineh.7825]

Wow!! I'm absolutely in love with that writing box, it is sooo beautiful!! 💖

[@dandelion.writes]

I’d love some Journal with Me videos 🥰 I find your videos so relaxing and peaceful, great to watch before bed 💕

[@EvilHag1]

You can rinse your brush, and moisten your paints.

[@LedgerAndLace]

Oh, Jane would totally use all those things if she had them. And who wouldn't want that music nib? I think Altoid tins would have been treasured back then. Everything is BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful!!!

[@GirlandQuill]

Thank you so much! I like to think Jane would want to reuse tins and items like that :)

[@melissaann513]

Great box! Love your enthusiasm!

[@vickiblack2425]

Love the video. It is so fun to put together kits in different containers from our stashes.

[@GirlandQuill]

It’s a good portion of the fun, haha.

[@tanyas.4849]

What a fun video. I think that all of your bits are perfect. A sweet way to honor Jane. A process video would be so much fun. It would be great to see how you put it all together. Thank you.

[@Tracywhited2]

Makes me want to pull out my heavy writing box too. You always inspire !!!! You always have to best ideas. And yes ! Would love some journal we me vids. 🌸💜

[@lisaheckler7629]

This box looks amazing! A couple of hours after I watched this video, I was re-watching an episode of one of my favorite shows, Lodge 49, and one of the characters gives this same box to another character. My jaw just dropped! Such a cool coincidence! After that little synchronicity, I had to order one of my own. I can't wait to fill it up with vintage goodness. I love your videos. I've made quite a few purchases thanks to you and your channel! :-)

[@GirlandQuill]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your writing box, it’s such an inspiring desk accoutrement to have 🙂

[@Sonicman415]

Gorgeous box

[@isabel.Cc7]

It’s so nice that you have your first Austen copies! I started reading her in my last year of middle school & used my library, but it would be so special to have first read copies! Your excitement is contagious ahaha I would love to see journal with me videos or even mini vlogs 😊

[@Hollis_Creative_Corner]

Love the set up! I think you're all set for July with plenty of options to choose from 🙂

[@loki666100]

I have never read any of her books. I did try but the old English was too much. I should try again as I live in the city where she died and is buried.

[@TriciaReadsAndJournals]

Hi Anna! Do you happen to have the link for the Pride and Prejudice film strip stickers? I LOVE them and would like to add them to my journaling collection :)

Delightful - Enjoy 💙

[@kari.bullet.journal]

Love this writing box! It is the prettiest 🥰🥰🥰 in my journals I need my modern tools even though I go medieval from time to time or regency also 😁😅 … specifically my drawing liners ✍🏻

[@Teufelchenhair]

So beautiful. I think the gold marbled dip pen is from e+m Holzprodukte I think. I have a very similar one.

[@limerent72]

I found a simple writing desk at GW last June. It didn't have a sticker, but as I was checking out I asked the manager, who was the one at the register, if I can pay $3, and she said yes. At first glance it looked like it could have been a well cared for vintage box, but the inside seemed like it was more modern. A couple weeks ago, we went to a night flea market and there sat a writing desk just like mine. A look underneath revealed that it was by a Bombay Company, and the vendor wanted $20 for it. So I was happy with my modest writing desk I got for $3. It only has a main compartment and a smaller pen compartment at the bottom, and the writing surface lid lifts up. I only began to populate it with correspondence tools and letters today, and then here I find your new video! Happy 4th of July! 🎆

[@GirlandQuill]

What a fun find!

[@paullacotta5645]

You need a nice glass dip pen😊❤️

[@Tracywhited2]

Sure missing your vids. Hope you’re doing well.

[@arcajour-i2r]

Does the writing slope provide enough room to write comfortably? And will an unsharpened Blackwing fit in horizontally in the main compartment? Thanks!

[@EvilHag1]

You should get yourself a glass spray bottle for your watercolors…

[@lukebaldwin3335]

What isnyour desk called

[@GirlandQuill]

A secretary desk.

[@phillipstroll7385]

Would she have used any of that? Jane Austin was a pretty hard core masculine girl from her equivalent of Compton was she not. She made fun of frilly. She wasn't frilly. If she was around today she would most likely hang with bikers.
