Downton Abbey Meets Houndton Tabby!

If you are like me you are eagerly awaiting the fourth Season of Downton Abbey! I love all the buzz around this wonderful series and how it has influenced fashion, interiors and now art! Artist Kim Parkhurst of ToadBriar at Etsy has created a series of artworks that are her impressions of some of the characters of Downton Abbey. However, there is one big difference, her characters are animals! Yes, they are the most beautifully done animated versions of some of our favorites such as Carson, Mary and Violet etc.  I just love them and I hope you will agree that Kim Parkhurst is one amazingly talented artist with a fantastic sense of humor! Enjoy as we countdown to Christmas, New Years and the return of Downton Abbey on January 5th, which is also my daughter's birthday!
To see more of Kim's work see here- ToadBriar!
Let's see if you can guess who's who here! Answers at the bottom of page!!
















Anna, Bates, Carson, Mrs Patmore, O'Brien, Thomas, Daisy,
Violet-countess Dowager, Cora, Lady Mary, Edith, Poor Sybill,and the late great Matthew!

    Oh my! These are delightful! Violet the Dowager Countess (or should we say the Meow-ager Countess?) is my favorite. Yes, the return of Downton will definitely be something to look forward to as we wind down the holiday season. Can't wait.

    Merry Christmas to you, Karolyn. I hope it's a beautiful holiday! XOXO
