Perhaps you know by now that I’m a massive Jane Austen nerd. After falling in love with her novels [and characters] I appreciated her all the more as a minimalist role model.

Just think – those masterpieces were born out of the simplicity above! It brings to mind a strong direct connection between the stories in her head and on her well-hidden papers, free from distraction.

Also look how tiny her table is. Note to Self: Next time I’m left with the tiny table in the coffeeshop, I’ll think Jane Austen, not deprivation.

P.S. more on Jane Austen pervading my everyday life…
