Emma found in Miss Edwards the show of good sense, a modest unpretending mind, and a great wish of obliging; and when they returned to the parlour where Mrs Edwards was sitting, respectably attired in one of the two satin gowns which went through the winter, and a new cap from the milliner's, they entered it with much easier feelings and more natural smiles than they had taken away.
~The Watsons, by Jane Austen

She Maketh Herself Coverings is a home based ministry-business I recently discovered. It is run by the four daughters of a family in Florida (ages ranging from 17 to 28) as a cottage industry. Their purpose is to make Jesus Christ known and to provide a support and inspiration to Christian women and their daughters.
Many of the caps and bonnets available from this company are drawn directly from Jane Austen's time, with inspiration from fashion plates or the recent films. I am sure you will enjoy the wide variety of styles and colors available. Visit the website for more pictures and ordering information!
