season 4

Are you as crazy about the show Downton Abbey as I am?
Did you catch the first episode of season 4 last night?
 
 
It's not just the story line...
It's the fabulous clothes
 
the Highclere Castle setting
 
 
and the cars...
 

 
I love British television.
 
I declared the day as Downton Abbey Day.
I made myself a cup of tea,
so British don't you think,
then went out to my sewing room to look for a tapestry print,
reminiscent of those used to make carpet bags or satchels from that era,
and made myself a tote bag.
 
 
I turned out quite lovely don't you think?
 
 
I think it will go perfectly with my new hat...
the one with the pheasant feathers in it.
