Be lord of lady of your own mini Highclere Castle with a mini luminary or redo a thrift store find into an elegant tea caddy. Grab a hat and gloves, tea is served.
An easy DIY Downton lantern and mismatched silver create a surprisingly elegant tea table on a shoestring budget
simple supplies: a printout image and repurposed glass vase
cut out a few windows for a warm glow
top on a platter and pop in a flameless votive

    You're right. Never heard of the sitcom; was thinking of Downton Abbey, of course. Didn't know about Hamlet either. I stand corrected. Nice post!
