My New Obsession

 I LOVE this show!  "Downton Abbey" is sooooo good.   When I was in Boise last March, Dayna introduced it to me and I was hooked after the first 3 episodes (the first 2 were questionable, but I still stuck with it).  If you love turn of the 20th century anything, you have got to see this show on PBS.  I actually watched it on Netflix, but I it is also on PBS.  

I love everything about it.  The clothes...How can anyone not LOVE the clothes?  I want to dress like that.  Maybe the show will get popular enough that we will have this kind of clothing made available again.  That would be awesome.  Look at the photo below...do you see that wonderful jewelry?  The lace?  Everything about it is feminine and beautiful. 
 The characters...Who doesn't love Mr Bates?  He is one of my fav's.  I hope he solves thing with his ex-wife so that he can live happily ever after with Anna :) 
 This show even has Maggie Smith.  How can you go wrong with Maggie Smith?  She is amazing.  Even the way she tilts her head pulls me in.  Crazy, I know, but still true.  If you have access to this show, watch it--starting with episode 3, one and two are a bit alarming-- I almost did not watch anymore after seeing those first two, but so glad I stuck with it. Perhaps you will fall in love with this time period too!

You know my feelings about this show....Mr. Bates (my favorite), the clothes, the way they speak, I love it all. How can you not love Maggie (the Lord's mother). She insultes everyone like she's giving them a compliment. This is a must own on DVD!
