ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a huge fan of your blog... I'm French but inside of me, there is something of the British spirit... I love English classic novels and movies of course...
ReplyDeleteI just watched "Howards End"... And the costumes seem to me so wonderful!! Do you know where I can get more informations about them?
Thank you!
Thanks Gaby!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where to find more information on the costumes but you reminded me that I hadn't added Howards End to my blog which I just did! Merci!
