Working in My Maidenform Bra

The minute I saw this Typewriter Stamp it brought to mind a nail biting, edge of your seat episode of Downton Abbey.
 

It was very scandalous when Gwen, just a simple housemaid, decides that she no longer wants to work “in service.” Secretly, (shhhh don’t breathe a word) she saves her meager wages, goes on eBay and buys a typewriter. Horror of horrors - when her typewriter is discovered by the evil Miss O'Brien (can’t believe she isn’t coming back for season 4), the evil rhymes-with-witch informs the whole world (twitter, facebook and email) about Gwen's plan to become a (GASP!) secretary. What follows is the cause of much discussion/distress/angst above and below the Downton Abbey stairs. But no need to fret my dears, for Lady Sybil comes to the rescue (thank the writers) and the episode ends happily ever after for Gwen, as she wins a position at a telephone firm (hey, it’s better than emptying chamber pots.)  Unfortunately, there was no happily ever after for the actress who played Gwen. She lost her job. 

 

Had a ball making this easy-peasy mini. Graphic 45 did all the hard work. All I did was cut and paste.
