Episode #31: Jennifer Tours Newport!

Jennifer dropped off the face of the Earth--but she's back now (after three months, but who's counting?).  She's been touring mansions again--this time in Newport, Rhode Island.  She recounts her adventures for us and answers the question: what is it like to spend the night in a big, 150-year-old Victorian gothic mansion ALONE?  She also shares with us some tips for decorating our own Gilded Age-inspired ballrooms.  There's a jam-packed itinerary for our little junket to Rhode Island, but then we switch gears altogether to spend some time with our old friends, the Crawleys, over at Downton Abbey. Have you seen the latest film?  Jennifer has, and she's over the moon about it.  And, then, before she says goodnight, Jennifer tells us all about the vintage plastic candlesticks she plans to be buried with. We haven't caught as much as a glimpse of Jennifer since April, so there's a lot of catching up to do!
