Why So Serious? |
To celebrate, everything in the American Duchess store ships free.
Everything.
In-stock items like 18th century Georgiana and Devonshire shoes, and glittery bling, will arrive by Christmas Eve*. You even get free shipping on in-production items like Pemberley Regency shoes and the 18th century shoe buckles.*

Jane Austen’s Free Shipping Birthday is for today, December 16th, only, so take advantage of it!*
*US Orders Only
Oh, and also … on the Fourth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me……

Only 9 days until Christmas!

Anyway, thanks for the info–I had no idea it was her birthday today (well, yesterday, but hey, I'm only a few hours short). By the way, thanks for all of the pictures! They are positively beautiful!
