I love period stories!
I love the command of language, the dress, the etiquette.
The decor and architecture.
And I draw a lot of inspiration for my designs from these stories!
If you are watching–take the quiz!

Countess Catherine–!
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham
You are Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham. You’re the imperious, aristocratic head of your family who (almost) always gets her way, and you don’t suffer fools gladly. Though you’re often bossy and arrogant, you’re surprisingly adaptable and exceptionally loyal to the people you love. By the way, you also get all the best lines, so we hope you’re ready for immortality. But you should really look up the definition of “weekend.”
ps–I have luv’d Maggie Smith for-EVer!
Is this on PBS? I am so uncultured these days. I love Maggie Smith. Oh my, I need to go watch Room with a View again. Funny, it has been on my mind a lot lately!
Sadly, the only TV I get is Nate Berkus, while I am working. Survivor and Amazing Race which I watch with my kids. Modern Family and Diners, Dives and Drive ins with my husband on Friday night. This is our date…… Oh yes, and if I am lucky, “My son “Mr. Red” and I watch American Pickers. This is what I am doing in my next life.
Oy vey, I really do need to break out of this rut. I do read though!

I watched the first season on Netflix and became addicted. I don’t have tv, so I must wait jealously while everyone else watches.

Sadly, all my answers to those questions are “none of the above.” Guess I can’t be part of the cast.

I love period shows, movies, anything from the Edwardian age, French 17th-18th century etc! I haven’t heard of this but I’m so busy I just tape a few shows then watch them when I can. I am so going to find this and set it to record right now, what a treat!
I too love Maggie Smith! And Dame Judi Dench too. These girls make any show fabulous!
Thanks for the info and for the online stream too! I am seriously over do for a day off so later this week I think I’ll take a day and see if I start in the the first part of the series. Oh what a fun day that will be!!
Merci beau coup Miss Petunia!
