Downton Abbey...My New Favorite TV Show

I recently did a book review of The Maid of Fairbourne

Hall by Julie Klassen and learned about the way things are

run in a Hall in England. I've been fascinated ever since

that book review and then came upon Downton Abbey on
PBS channel last month. I then found out that the Season 1 

of Downton Abbey was also on Netflix as well. I can 

tell you that on Tuesday we watched all of it in one sitting

while packing all our 72 hour backpacks for emergencies.

(I figure if we're going to watch this we might as well be 

doing something useful at the same time..)

Yes, it's that good and soo addicting. I love the characters 

and can't wait to see Season 2. The costumes are exquisite

and I just can't get enough. The girls love to watch for 

the fashion. I just like that it's somthing different from
what's on tv every night.

Which is another reason I want to get my sewing on!
I've been searching for all types of Edwardian patterns
that I can get my hands on. My favorite is the Gibson
Girl blouse top pattern that can be found on amazon.com

Thank goodness it's Sunday tomorrow. I always find myself 

counting down the days until Masterpiece Theatre comes on.
