I ♥ Thursday {no. 5}

Hello everyone! Today is Christmas Adam. Get it? Christmas Adam comes the day before Christmas Eve. You know, Adam & Eve. lol. :) Well, besides being Christmas Adam today it is a Thursday, meaning it's time for I ♥ Thursday.

I love Basil Rathbone reading aloud the book, Sherlock Holmes. You know what, I could listen to him read all day. :)

Russian Tea Cakes. Yum.

This really cool laptop cover.
(edited: I found where this is sold!!! Click here.) (:

This outfit from Casablanca that Ingrid Bergman wears. (I saw this costume when I was in L.A. this summer. It is so pretty! The blouse is a rusty paisley print with a black skirt.)

The radio & 50s TV Show Dragnet. 

This beautiful dress that Judy Garland wears in Girl Crazy.  

The old Disney movie, 101 Dalmatians. 

What are you loving this week?

Road to Avonlea

A few weeks back at a book sale I found a treasure. Season three of Road to Avonlea. The only problem - it is missing the last disc. How sad. The good news. I have fallen in love the story, characters, costumes, and music! This was my first time watching this old TV show from the 90s.

 

After watching only ONE episode my sewing list grew by leaps and bounds. =) Now what will seven seasons and one reunion movie do to my sewing list?!?!  I can't wait to buy the rest of the series and movie. And of course, the soundtrack!







I want to thank my dear reader, Heather, for recommending this series to me! You have my sisters and I hooked on this wonderful TV show! =)

Do any of you know of sites with good pictures from Road to Avonlea? Or, a site that talks about the costumes?

Do any of you love Road to Avonlea? Who is your favorite character? Which character are you most like? I'm sorry to say, that I'm quite like Felicity - sometimes. I think I need to change. =)

What is your favorite costume(s)? I love Felicity's and Olivia's clothes!

30 Day Challenge - Day 1

I am doing this 30 day challenge with a bunch of other blogger girls. But, I will be doing mine in less time, like in eleven days instead of 30. Why, you may ask? Because I will be going on vacation in twelve days. =) So I will be doing several challenges in one day. =)

Day 1 {Favorite Song}

This first challenge is very hard, as I love music!

But I will go with I've Seen Hell - Martin Phipps. It is from the movie, North & South (2004) with Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe which by the way, is one of my favorite movies. =)





Day 2 {Favorite Movie}

AHH!! What a question for me! Um, let's see here. I will instead list five of my favorite movies in no order, instead of telling you just one. =) 

1. The Sound of Music (1965)

See trailer here.

2. Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939)

3. Emma (2009) BBC

4. Ben-Hur (1959)

5. Fireproof (2008)

Day 3 {Favorite Book}

My favorite book would have to be, The Call of Duty: The Stirling Nobility of Robert E. Lee by Steven Wilkins. A wonderful book on the character and life on one of my many hero's.

Day 4 {Favorite Television Program}

It would have to be between the following.

1. The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-66)

2. The Rifleman (1958-63)

3. Daniel Boone (1964-70)
