Around the 'Net

I'm amazed at the things I stumble on as I scroll through Facebook and Instagram.  Are you a Downton Abbey fan?  Do you fancy owning a piece of the series?  Here's your chance.


Bonhams, a privately owned international auction house and one of the world's oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques, will offer an auction of iconic props and costumes from Downton Abbey.  There will be a free exhibition open to the public between 18 August and 16 September at their New Bond Street saleroom in London.  Oh, to be in London now.

Check out all the details here.  Is there something on your wish list?  How about Lady Mary or Lady Edith's wedding dresses?  Or Lady Sybil "Harem" pants?  Or the Dowager's walking cane?  Cricket whites?  A riding habit?  Shrimpie's Scottish formalwear?  What an amazing collection.

  1. The auction does sound great for a fan! I liked Downton Abbey but I'm not an aficionado by any means so this wouldn't be for me. But I know of people who love it and this would be great for them!

    1. It will be interested to see how the auction goes. I'm sure there are some diehard fans out there who can't wait to get a piece from the series.

  2. How interesting. I probably wouldn't buy anything, but I AM looking forward to the new (and last) movie coming out in September.
