A Really Fab Movie!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  One of the things I really enjoyed doing last Saturday was sitting back with my sister, my best friend, and watching a really fabulous DVD which movie we both had gone to see in the cinema  late last year, Stardust.

I thought I'd blog about this movie just in case you mightn't have seen it yet ~ go get it, it's great!

We went to the movies to see it not knowing if we'd like it or not ~ it sounded like something we'd like, but we just hoped for the best.  It really was one of those excellent times where we loved it much more than we expected!  It has it all; really cute leading man, princes and a princess, beautiful wicked witch (Michelle Pfeiffer), magic, romance, unicorns, funny ghosts and quite a few laughs!  Keep an eye out for Billy ~ we loved him!

You can  see a trailer of the movie here. 

I think this is going to be one of my favourite movies ever!  If you love movies like the Princess Bride, which is also one of my favourites, I think you will love this as well.  Go rent it or buy it, it's really worth it!

A Big Thank You!

I just wanted to thank every lovely lady who left a message for me on my new blog.  Thank goodness I have some people to write for.  I am used to talking to myself, a very bad habit (but gee I'm good to talk to!)  but it's lovely to have some other people there who may just be listening!

Ashwell Comeback

I was doing a Google search a few days ago looking for something to do with Rachel Ashwell, and came across a blog by a decorator called Decor8.  You might like to check out her blog.

This lady did an interview with Rachel Ashwell late last year on what Ashwell will be up to in the future.  I really love anything Shabby Chic although I'm not a hundred per cent sure that I'd like Rachel Ashwell herself, she looks scary to me somehow, but I love what she does and I think her taste is impecable.

So I thought I might put the link here so you can go have a read.  I enjoyed it as it had appeared to me that she had pretty well disappeared in the last three years and the only thing she was really doing was getting busy discontinuing all my favourite fabrics and not replacing them with anything that has appealed to me.  So it was nice to see it looks like Ashwell is going to get going again in 2008. 

It will be interesting to see what she comes up with.  One thing I noted which I was quite pleased about is that she is releasing her television series on DVD so I'll be hoping to buy those as I had all mine saved on video and I don't even own a video player now!

I hope you enjoy this interview.
