I sadly admit that I missed all of Season One of Downton Abbey. A shameless act on my part. Tragedy. And even though I did not understand what was going on when I boarded the “Crawley” train this season, I’m hooked. The costumes…the jewelry…the scenery…and the costumes (did I say that already?).
And, so in celebration of my new-found obsession, I created the Lavinia earrings. Sweet, with a little bit country and a little bit urban vibe.
The earrings feature Grandma Kathy’s gold clip-on earrings (with clips removed) mounted on gold-plated filigrees hanging from repurposed gold vintage chain (from a multi-strand necklace purchased at an antique mall). Dangling from the filigrees are Grandma Kathy’s royal blue hand-painted porcelain beads.

P.S. I took the quiz. My result: Lady Mary Crawley. Now you take the “which character are you” quiz and tell me who you are!

Also Lady Mary! get yourself to the netflix streaming for season one my sister — worth it!
Thank you, Lady Mary! Season 1 in the Netflix queue ASAP!
Sigh – love, love, love Downton Abbey & also missed season 1. Watching on netflix instant queue, but only when I can commandeer the TV. I love the earrings even more than I love the show!
Yes…tv time is difficult…especially with children in the house. Perhaps a “Crawley themed” weekend away with the ladies is in order…with a Season 1 marathon, tea, and a lovely carriage ride? Okay…back to reality, Christine!
