 It’s February and it’s all about love, which makes it the perfect time to indulge in your love for Jane Austen (though many of us don’t need a reason!). Jane is the master of all things romance, and with six beautiful love stories, she’s given us a lifetime of inspiration.

Let’s step back into the 1800s and do things a little old-school. The young ladies and handsome gentlemen of the Regency didn’t have texting, Facebook and eHarmony to help them find and woo their special someone, but they did have letters. So much of Regency communication happened via letters, from simple day-to-day conversations to marriage proposals (and rejections!).

If you’re an Austenite, you already know how powerful and romantic a letter can be in a 19th century love story. We have Mr. Darcy’s game-changing letter in Pride and Prejudice, which plays a crucial role in changing Lizzie’s opinion of him, as through the letter she begins to understand his kindness and strength of character. And even Mr. Elton tries to court Emma with letters (even though that leads to a whole other misunderstanding!). But, one of the greatest love letters is Captain Wentworth’s letter to Anne Elliot in Persuasion. After she was forced to end their relationship nine years ago, the two meet again under new circumstances, and though there is pain and bitterness, old feelings are still there. Okay, ladies, I’m preparing you, get ready to swoon. He writes,

“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in

F. W.

I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening or never.” –Jane Austen, Persuasion.

Whew! Back to reality! Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and whether you have a special someone or have a best girl friend that you love and want to celebrate, it’s time to let that person how much you care! Today’s DIY(s) are Regency-inspired V-Day cards that you can whip up in an hour and can totally personalize with pictures and your favorite quotes. Here are some of the most romantic Jane Austen quotes that are perfect for your Valentine’s Day card:

1. “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you”- Pride and Prejudice

2. If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”- Emma

3. “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.”- Persuasion

4. “It darted through her with the speed of an arrow [that Mr. Knighley must marry no one but herself!]”- Emma

5. “I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own[…]”- Persuasion
St Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the Valentine's day is Cupid, the Roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow. Several theories surround the history of Valentine's Day.
Was There a Real Valentine?

Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.
Bishop Valentine?

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.
Feast of Lupercalia

The ancient Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia, a spring festival, on the 15th of February, held in honor of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. With the introduction of Christianity, the holiday moved to the 14th of February. The Christians had come to celebrate February 14 as the saint day that celebrated the several early Christian martyrs named Valentine.
Choosing a Sweetheart on Valentine's Day

The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14!
In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I declared February 14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday, most Americans observe this day.

Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love. Most people send "valentine" a greeting card named after the notes that St Valentine received in jail.

Greeting Cards

Probably the first greeting cards, handmade valentines, appeared in the 16th century. As early as 1800, companies began mass-producing cards. Initially these cards were hand-colored by factory workers. By the early 20th century even fancy lace and ribbon-strewn cards were created by machine.
