Downton Abbey Season 6

In a little over 24 hour's, the first of the final installments of Donwton Abbey, will air here in the United States.

I've tried not to peek at any of the tempting plot revelations. 

I just don't want to know.

 I've watched from the beginning, not knowing what was going to happen and I'll finish that way.

I want to savor and enjoy each and every episode as it airs on PBS.

 

Season  One 2011

Change is afoot at Downton — change far surpassing the new electric lights and telephone. A crisis of inheritance threatens to displace the resident Crawley family.

~~~And So It Began

 

Season Two 2012       

The Great War has rendered everything — and everyone — changed.

Season Three 2013     

Amidst sweeping social change, budding romances and surprising betrayals, nothing is assured.

Season Four 2014

 Glamorous jazz clubs, a sparkling literary scene ~ the Roaring 20"s have arrived.

 

Season Five 2015     

A new labour government heralds changes that are being felt throughout the land, as well as above and below stairs.

 Season Six 2016 
How Will It End~~~  

Will Carson and Mrs. Hughes make it down the aisle? Will Branson find happiness in America? Will Mary snap up the affections of the "snappy chariot" driver?  Will it be a "Happy Everafter" for Edith?

Downton Abbey Season 6 premieres January 3, 2016, 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS!

I will miss Downton Abbey!
Thank goodness I have it on DVD and can go there anytime I wish!!!

I have never noticed this before but each episode aired in the US with it's corresponding year date number!  
1 -2011, 2-2012, 3-2013, 4-2014, 5- 2015 & 6 -2016

Thanks for Popping in!!!

One Last Find For 2015

Popped in to Goodwill tonight to put together an 80's outfit for my daughters and son-in-laws Flashback 80"s New Years Eve Party. Got everything I needed from head to toe and still had about 15 minutes to shop before they closed.

I always look over the furniture section knowing that I can't possibly squeeze another piece in...but I still like to look. In fact, I recently passed up a rather new and not gently used, French Provincial night stand and dresser that with work could have been rescued...just no more room.

UNLESS IT'S A CHAIR 

 Then I saw this sweet leggy chair with pretty petit point flowers and my heart and head were gone!

This cutie is rather new but real detail has went into making it appear as if it were made long ago. New type material underneath but tacked in the old fashioned way. And the wood work and upholstery is nicely done. No makers label but still quality craftsmanship. It's very sturdy and the wood has some very itsy bitsy blemishes and the fabric doesn't have a tear or stain on it...could use a good vacuuming though!

The back and arms are upholstered in a soft sage green velvet.

Pretty arms and legs!

The beautiful petit point flowers is what convinced me
that I could make room for one more chair!!!

I just love those fancy tacks and pretty trim anchoring all the fabric.

 

It wasn't priced and I was a little concerned it might be out of budget. The girl came over and said "oh, you

want this chair", she sounded a bit disappointed. But she gave it a good look over and said "it's new on the floor and it's $39.99" and I said " do I still get my senior discount?" and she answered "yes". So I did some quick calculations in my head, 10% off makes it $36.00, I had a return card good for $10.00 more off, so now we're talking a budget friendly $26.00 and yes, I would have paid more than the $39.99.

I'll take it!
I really didn't need it. I'll have to squeeze it in somewhere. But oh, how it makes my Victorian heart happy ;)

This chair looks as if it belongs in one of the many rooms of Downton Abbey. I can even envision Lady Violet perched erectly upon it's pretty hand needled cushion.  And I might just use it to watch the last and final series six, premiering January 3rd (Sunday night on PBS)!!!

Might even put on my lace gloves! And hat too!!

Thanks for Popping in

Season Five

NEED I SAY MORE?

I absolutely love this series and tonight I'll snuggle up on the couch and see where this year is going to take us.  

Back in the fall I joined, as a Contributing Member, my local Oregon Public Broadcast network. As a gift to my monthly contribution, I received the first four seasons with the fifth to arrive after the January 4th airing of Downton Abbey.  I received notification that season five series shipped January 2nd.

Now I have to make the choice to watch all episodes now OR keep it sealed up and know exactly what I'll be doing every Sunday at 9:00 PM.   There's nothing really to decide...I enjoy my Sunday evenings and Downton Abbey.  So I'll just keep it in the wrapper for now!

UPSTAIRS AND DOWN

BEAUTIFUL BABIES AND BLUE EYES

LOOK WHOSE COMING FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER

I've spent Sunday evenings this last summer and fall re-watching the first three seasons of Downton Abbey.  I am ready to see what Julian Fellowes has in store for the new season. Drama? Of course! Wonderful period costumes? Most certainly!! Snappy dialogue from Lady Violet? Without a doubt!!!.....

 Happy Hunting and Gathering 
and Enjoying~~~~~Downton Abbey

SEASON 3 DOWNTON ABBEY

The wait is almost over!  Season 3 of DOWNTON ABBEY airs tomorrow~~~Sunday, January, 6th at 9:00PM on PBS Masterpiece Theater.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen this year. The Roaring Twenties and social change are upon us!!!

How long will Mr. Bates stay in prison? What trials and tribulations will his and Anna's marriage go through before he is found innocent and released?

Will Shirley McLain add a new sparkle and twist to the plot?

Will this be MAGGIE SMITH's last year? I certainly hope not, I so enjoy her character as Lady Violet.

Will there be wedding bells for Lady Mary and Mathew? I think not for Miss Mary seems to only want Mathew when it's convienient for her.

Ahhhh~~~the first grand baby is on the way~~~Will papa Crawley welcome her back into the fold? I don't think he will have much choice~~~Lady Cora tends to get her way.

Happy Hunting and Gathering~~~~and Enjoying Downton Abbey
