So what can make a grown mature women decide to dress up in her Grandmothers clothes AND LOVE IT?
Move over Trekkies, out of the way Star War’s weirdos, theirs a new group of nerds in town.
This group however has class and sophistication and only drinks tea with their pinkies extended.
I’m talking of course about Downton Abbey starting up again this weekend for us in the US.
PS- there is a spoiler for Season 3 in this post, so don’t read on if you haven’t seen it yet.
It’s time to party like it’s 1929!
It’s hard to explain the strange addiction I have to this show.
Maybe it’s because we have so much in common.
Their super rich British arosticasy — I’m American and can’t spell aristocracy.
One of the main characters is married to a Matthew who died (spoiler) and I’m married to a Matthew who’s still alive.
All the Crowley’s drink tea during tea time, I’m Mormon so I don’t.
They have servants who have problems and I have no servants which IS a problem.
It’s spooky how much I can relate.
The newest season starts this Sunday for us in the US and I can’t wait. And in case you were wondering…you can watch Seasons 1-3 to get you started on Amazon Prime (30 day free trial too). Do yourself a favor and just start watching this series. It will grab ya.
And if your wondering…
NO – I don’t dress up for each episode in my Downton Abbey clothes.
That would be crazy right! Right?
By the way.. these photos were taken by the lovely miss Andrea from Andrea Starr Photography.

I just started watching it two weeks ago, and became almost a hermit sneaking in to watch more episodes! I made it right up until the finale with Matthew. I need to find a way to watch the next series now 😉
