I love the house in 'Practical Magic'! It was such a shame that it was only a shell and was torn down after filming was done. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe LIFE hairstyles illustration is just gorgeous! :)
I love that house from Practical Magic, too! I'd sure love to have a kitchen like that one.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be lovely to see the Cameron exhibit ... sigh. :o)
And I had absolutely no idea there was a Steampunk group in the neighbouring province! Took someone from across the globe to point that out to me - so thanks, Laura! And also for pointing out Grandiloquent Word of the Day. So awesome!
I like the "life's to short" quote :D I will hereby life after that, haha!
