Oh I’ve been wanting to write this post for quite a while. Now that Downton Abbey is over for this season, I’m looking for ways to get my Downton fix. So I’ve got the goods for you. Sit back
and enjoy!
There’s a new line of Downton Abbey products that are available for us in the US! I’ve had the privilege of photographing them!! Here’s just a few of the photos, with many more coming.
(I’m partnering with Heritage Lace to show you these glorious pillows so technically speaking this is a sponsored post)
Heritage Lace makes these fun pillows.
I love the Dowager Countess quotes. “It is the job of grandmothers to interfere!” That is a fun one! I really love these fun pillows.
I actually keep these pillows in the study, so I can enjoy them. They keep me company.
But I also like to sprinkle them around the house, when we have guests. They are a wonderful conversation starter.
It’s like a secret handshake really. A guest walks into my home. If they notice the pillows, we are suddenly best friends. If they don’t ‘get it’ well then maybe we just aren’t meant to be friends.
Oh I’m teasing. I do have friends that don’t watch Downton. But I have a special bond with the ones that do.
Who is your favorite character?
Someone recently asked me which one I would most want to meet. I said, the Dowager Countess of course. She’s seen a lot in her day, and I love her saucy attitude. Never a dull moment with that one.
I’ll be showing you lots more goodies here, or you can just hop over to Heritage Lace and see check it out yourself.
And to take the Influence to another realm, I saw Downton Abbey claret at Costco the other day. I’m sure it was right out of the manor’s wine cellar.
So cute!!
I love Downton Abbey! Would love these pillows too!
What a wonderful treat for all of us Downton Abby fans! Your photography is gorgeous!
I absolutely Must Have the pillow that quotes “You’ll soon get used to the way things are done here.” I love it!
Love Downton Abbey too! Can’t wait for season 5. I hear that Julian Fellowes has a new period drama project in the works set in America based on Edith Wharton’s Gilded Age. I went to Heritage Lace and fell in love with the Downton tea towels. Enjoyed your post.
Oooo, I love that last pillow best of all!!! I can’t believe how many of us simply love that show! I have all the DVDs and it’s like eating comfort food to watch them (and fewer calories). My favorite character is Lord Grantham. I think he is such a rock and kind, gentle, reasonable, loving, etc. etc. After him, my favorite is Mary. Love her character. Did from Day 1. I always felt that I understood why she was the way she was, being the oldest daughter and bearing the responsibility that she has in that role. Michelle Dockery plays that part perfectly!
P.S. I even made a Downton Abbey ‘Lady Mary’ homemade vegan soap – it’s in my Etsy Shop. 🙂
P.P.S. What a fun website, Heritage Lace! Thanks for introducing it to me.
Oh how fun! I’m heading over there now!
I just love that show and wish they had it on everyday, like the soaps. I love granny, she is such a hoot and always has something witty to say. I really like everyone and look forward to a new season.
The pillows are great and I am sure they are great conversation starters. Thanks for sharing them. How could you not like Downton Abby.
Have a great rest of the week.
Mary
Those pillows are the greatest…I must say that i love the grandmother’s pillow best!…I love Downton Abbey…and I have to say my fav is Lady Mary…but the Countess come in a close second!
Anita,
Love the pillows. . .especially Grandmother’s quote!!!
Hard to pick a favorite from the show, but this Season, Daisy’s character truly impressed me most.
OK, I’m going to check out all the Abby merchandise!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Sadder than you could imagine, I didn’t get to see the show. We’ve just been able to watch DVD’s since our tv acted up and I got mad at Dish. Anyway, love the pillows, they’re a hoot, love the grandmother quote but would love them all. I’ll have to visit the website to see for myself, sounds quite interesting.
Happy Spring
Love the pillows! Love your blog! Would love to know where you got the beautiful chair cushion/cover in the first beautiful photo!
Hi Melanie, like the other slipcovers and most of the bedding in my home, I made those using European linen.
I made the slipcover for the chair.
Wow! They are so beautiful! I absolutely love your bedspread as well! Do you know of anyone who makes these to sell?!
Your blog is beautiful. Definitely one of my very favorites.
Melanie, which bed? Sorry I’m not sure which one you are looking at.
