Here in Australia, the première of series 3 of Downton Abbey is getting ready to hit our television screens next month, despite the fact the rest of the world is already well immersed in the new series.
But in time for next month’s start, get into the spirit and up-to-date with these links:
- Tips for throwing a Downton Abbey party
- A book about the real Downton Abbey castle
- A look at the gardens
- A little fun ~ Downton Abbey tumblrs including ones dedicated to the castle lamps and Downton dogs
- Character-inspired cocktails ~ Mr Bates / Mary or Mary / Edith / Sybil

And spotted today, this Downton Abbey love card on Paper Crave











Hello! I'm Kellie and here I collect inspiration ~ beautiful photos, words on creativity, lovely printables and handmade items. I love autumn, cameras, and of course, the colour lime.









I love Downton Abbey, it’s about the only thing I watch on TV. I missed a couple of episodes but have the dvd and need to catch up before season 3!
I love the idea of a Downton Abbey party : )
If you throw a party Tess, make sure to send me an invite
Heard mixed reports about series 3 but think Shirley Maclaine will be a firecracker in it!
Love this Kellie! Glad Ch7 is bringing DA forward from June in previous years to Feb. It was a JOKE before, how long they made us wait… (It starts in Sept in UK and finishes in Oct/1st wk of Nov).
Brooke – Little Miss Moi is talking about ..Mixing things up a bit
Thanks Brooke! Even with series 3 we are behind the times. I think the DVD will be out before it even hits the screen!
