Happy Friday, dear friends! I have been loving the little things this past week: the seasonal reason to crochet chunky monochrome scarves before it gets frigid enough to don them, especially since yarn was on sale; enjoying the tastiest cupcakes ever, baked and delivered by a dear friend who stopped by for a visit; and lounging around with the husband while simultaneously fostering an addiction for Downton Abbey, all thanks to this dear friend. It is a most legit period drama in terms of the compelling storyline influenced by major historical events, depth of the characters, aesthetically entrancing setting, seamless cinematography, and post-Edwardian costumes! I especially love it because it's like grown-up American Girl (my most favorite childhood books!), and it's hilarious because the husband loves the show more than I do and asks nearly every day when we'll watch it next. Cheers to the season of gratitude. Have a wondrous weekend, all.
Hmmm i've been thinking about watching Downtown Abbey and your description (grown-up American girl!) really makes me wanna watch it!
ReplyDeleteoh, and i am super jealous of your knitting abilities ;o)
Downton Abbey is my favourite! I love it and as a historian (who are known to be highly critical of period dramas) I can't fault it. We have just finished the 3rd series in the UK and I am counting down the days until the Christmas special! British drama at it's best!
ReplyDeleteOk so I've been holding off on getting into Downtown Abbey because I just know that once I start, I won't be able to stop. You're the fifth person recently to mention it so I'm thinking I might have to watch my first episode this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteLoved American girl too! I don't think I've heard of this show but it seems very intriguing!

I have yet to see Downton Abbey, but I've heard very good things and now I am especially intrigued if it's like an adult version of American Girl! Loved those books! :)

ReplyDeleteI need to crochet. My husband and I like to watch shows together at night and I always think how I am wasting an opportunity to be productive. You should post a picture of your scarf when you are done!
