Our first Lovehart Christmas present is for one of my favorite Downton Abbey characters, Lesley Nicol Mrs. Patmore. I like to think she would go for something quite unfussy using very classy vintage fonts & cutlery straight from the Downton dining table (upstairs of course!)
Nicol grew up near Manchester, the daughter of an amateur-actress mother and a GP father, and attended Guildhall Drama School. What I love most is some of her jaw dropping one liners, we all need a few of these up our sleeve. Especially recently as she is sent off by Mrs Hughes to Mr Carson to discuss his connubial needs in their impending marriage. Sooo funny. Lest we forget her lines when we need them:-
