DOWNTON ABBEY BY 1928 JEWELRY

Downton Abbey to Launch Apparel, Home Accessories

Downton Abbey, the smash 1920s-themed show that has set off an endless array of inspired fashions (we’re talking to you Ralph Lauren!) is now launching its own line.

“We’ll be working across an entire range of products coming out this year, from fashion, apparel, and home[goods] and furniture to wallpapers, beauty products and stationery,” says Downton Abbey producer Gareth Neame in a CNBC interview. According to another report, Knockout Licensing will create the merchandise.

This isn’t Downton’s first foray into fashion, however. The show has a jewelry line licensed to 1928, a company that specializes in colorful stone and vintage-inspired jewelry (and now the name fits perfectly!).

Now with the new products in the pipeline, consumers can dream about adorning their estates, well, apartments and homes, as well as their bodies with merchandise suitable for Chez Crowley.

For those of you who haven't heard of the tv series, Downton Abbey, it's set in the Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey and depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the post-Edwardian era.

 Now 1928 Jewelry has been licensed to create and sell some Downton Abbey inspired jewelry.  Here are just a few items.

OILCLOTH ALLEY

Oilcloth is great fabric for protecting surfaces, creating fun settings and crafts. Oilcloth is durable and very versatile.  Sew placemats, tablecloths, baby bibs, floor coverings.  It's great for under pet dishes, under high chairs for easy clean up and makes a wonderful shelf lining. Don't forget oilcloth for your picnics! No need to hem just cut your shape and your done!  Great for beginner sewers.  You can buy it by the roll or buy all ready made up products.  E-mail for wholesale catalog and prices: lydiarep@yahoo.com

5 WAYS TO DISPLAY TEA TOWELS!

FIVE WAYS TO DISPLAY TEA TOWELS:

1. I found some of these great pictures on Pinterest and some on the Anthropologie website (I love Anthropologie!).  These are all simple and fun to do so get creative!  None of these towels are from my wholesale lines but I do offer pretty wholesale tea towels and linens.

2) The display above is a great mix of color and texture.

3) A wine wire rack or basket would work well too.

4) Pegs on the Wall!

5) And last, but not least, tea towels in a pretty basket. Simple yet effective!

Another great but not so original idea is to hang them from a cute clothesline.
