Chick Flicks!

With all the cold weather and February just around the corner, I am in the mood for a Chick Flick Weekend! Oh there are so many many options. Most of these are in my DVD Library.

Nothing like a good Cary Grant movie. This one with Deborah Kerr is one of the best romantic tearjerkers of all time. I love this movie. I just love this one. I saw it again a couple of weeks ago. Sigh...
Isn't it time for these two to make another movie together? It has been a while since I have seen "You've Got Mail". I think it might be at the top of my list. :)

And these two... With Patrick Wilson. What a performance. Another tearjerker. DD loves to watch this one with me. The old B&W used to terrify me at her age. She loves all the music and stuff in this movie. When I was little, this was considered a horror film, now it is considered a romantic dark love story. It does make me cry.
I love these films ....
I love the book they are based on... Give me either one on a cold night with a nice comfy blanket. I am happy!

The sweet love of these two, tore my heart out. I cried and cried.... I want to watch it again!

Lake House, it does end with a happily. I do not want to spoil it for anyone who has not yet seen it. Oh what a love story that also stretches over time.

LadyHawke. One of my all time favorites. A fantasy love story. Eternally together, forever apart. Based on some Medieval Tale of sorts. Guys tend to like this one too!

I have some more, but these are the ones I watch over and over. Except for Somewhere in Time. I have only watched it once and that was not long after it came out. I still remember it like yesterday. I need to get that movie and add it to my library. Then it will be watched over and over.

What are some of your favorite Chick Flicks?

Blue Monday!

Today is Blue Monday hosted by Sally @ Smiling Sally's Blog. Thank you Sally for hosting Blue Monday every week. It is much fun!

This week I want to show you a couple of Blue Transferware I picked up a few months ago at an Antique/Flea Market place. (Same place I bought the chandelier for my kitchen.)

I originally bought the plates for my future China Garden. And also for the hangers that were attached. I think I only paid a 1 or 2 dollars for each plate. I was looking for attractive, inexpensive, even chipped plates for the China Garden. When I got them home, I decided I liked them too much and that they would look great hanging on the kitchen wall.

They are stoneware and there is no stamp or mark on the back of them.

The dinner plate is only about 10 inches wide. Here yu can see how much smaller this dinner plate is compared to my everyday stoneware. The small size makes me think it is old.

I bought a couple of bread plates as well. Some of the transferware pattern was smudged when it was placed on the plate before firing/processing. If anyone has any idea of the history of the pattern/stoneware, I would appreciate knowing.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. To see more great Blue Monday posts or to participate in Blue Monday, please stop by Sally's blog by clicking HERE.

Have a great day!
