New Blog Theme!

Elizabeth & Georgiana
Hi y'all! As you may have noticed I've switched up my blog theme! The theme this time comes from Death Comes To Pemberley (2013). As soon as I saw that gorgeous screencap of Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy in the drawing room at Pemberley I fell head over heels and knew it would make the perfect blog header. Death Comes To Pemberley is an exquisitely filmed piece of period drama and it was such fun browsing through screencaps and choosing the ones I've put on my sidebar. There's also a new comments button featuring Lady Catherine De Bourgh and a new blog button for you to use! Also scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the new banner I created featuring photos of Elizabeth and Darcy. All screencaps came from chrs_vg at Red Curtain, her work is lovely!


Lydia & Wickham

I loved my previous theme but it was time for a change. The last theme I'd had up since March 2013! I think that's the longest I've had the same theme on my blog! The theme was Downton Abbey and flowers.

Previous Header:


Previous Background:
(feel free to use)


Comment Button:
(feel free to use)


Blog Button is still available for use:
Old-Fashioned Charm



Well, what do you think of the new theme? 

Have you seen Death Comes To Pemberley? If you missed my review you can read it here.

Oh yes, and I have quite a few new signature buttons featuring various characters that I'll be using as well! :)







Final Period Films Couples Quiz

Bonus Question: Name the couple and period film pictured above.
A while back I had posted a few of these Period Films Couples Quizzes and they were fairly popular. Before starting to post I had made out a list of period films couples and this game scrapes the bottom of the barrel and uses up the very last of the couples on my list. I tried to make the clues easier but I'm sorry if these are quite hard to guess. Only a few of these couples are heroes/heroines from their story and most are from more obscure period dramas. I hope you enjoy guessing them anyway!

To Play: Read the brief blurbs about each couple and leave a comment guessing the names of the hero, heroine and period film they appear in. I will respond with your score. Guess as many times as you wish. I'll post the answers next weekend. 

Scoring: One point for each correctly guessed hero name, heroine name and period film. Eight points can be earned by correctly guessing the couple and period film in the Bonus Question. A total of 50 points can be earned!
