Wine Corkscrew Wall Art

I am so happy that Danni from Silo Hill Farm, has agreed to help me while I am away! I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have! She is such a sweetheart!

Please Welcome Danni!

If you ask me to do a guest post for you, I'm most likely going to say "yes", depending on your time frame.  I'm also going to browse your blog, learn as much about you as I can and then do a project that I think somehow relates to you.  I might also talk about alcohol (unless you specifically tell me not to).

When Deneen asked me to do a guest post, it was pretty easy because I was lucky enough to meet her last July when I was in Tennessee.  She was delightful and we had a marvelous time.  I knew that she was a fabulous furniture painter.  I knew that she loved all things Italian.  I knew that she was going to Italy soon.  
I decided to make a piece of wall art for this guest post that incorporated those facts.  I chose a wine corkscrew silhouette project.

My Downton Abbey Fix

OH Canada!!

No...... this is not a post about one of my favorite bloggers!

It isn't even a post about our little visitor this week. Please read to understand my craziness.

It has been a week long journey for our little Canadian friend.

As I told you, last week my daughter's friend from Canada visited for the first time.

She is from London, no not England, Canada. She drove to Detroit and took a plane from there. When she arrived we wanted to take her somewhere to eat that was "country". We chose Cracker Barrel. Where else can you get homemade biscuits and gravy, grits and breakfast for lunch! (besides my own home) She loved it.

We took her to many places but one place stood out!

She loves doing historical things so we took her to the Belle MeadeMansion. I knew she would love it but I didn't realize that when I stepped into the barn I was feeling a little weepy. I miss Downton Abbey!! WAAAAAAHHHHH There I said it!

The whole time I watched the seasons I never wrote a post about it till now!

Being in the place where the horse drawn carriages and cars were parked made me think of my favorite show.
I wondered about Tom and wondered what he felt like when he went from being a "mechanic" to being in the "family".

When I saw this dollhouse I wondered if Lord Grantham would get Henry to build one for poor Sybil and Tom's baby or even for Mary and William's baby, George.

I thought about poor Matthew. What will they do without him?

With Bates out of jail will he take over more duties at the mansion? Will he be in charge of more important things?

When I walked the grounds and came across this building with its gorgeous texture, I wondered if Bates and Anna would be happy in their new home.

or would Thomas and O'Brien the evil maid, keep coming up with schemes behind closed doors

(When we walked in the mansion and took the tour we weren't allowed to take pictures so I found this online.)

Then there was the parlor.....would Countess Violet come up with new sarcastic remarks in the new season?.....will Lady Cora entertain more hopefuls for Lady Edith with a party there?

All these questions and we have to wait so long to see next season.

I know this is a far cry from Highclere Castle but it did it for me! It gave me a little fix while I await   my questions being answered.

So Julian Fellowes better keep writing some great stuff so I can obsess more and write crazy posts about things that remind me of this TV show that takes away more of my time!

So I say goodbye on that note! And we say goodbye to our Canadian friend! Hope she liked Nashville!!
