Old Movies - Bell Book and Candle

Love this grouping of images from Bell Book and Candle, sorry don't know where they are from. But notice the turquoise in the pillows and the back wall, as turquoise is the color of the year for 2010.


Love the pale turquoise curtains, and the gold tan accents.

I love old Movies!! This Sunday, what a treat, Bell Book and Candle is on Turner Classic Movies. Although I have seen it, I guess, I forgot it started at Christmas. I just love everything from Kim Novak's wardrobe to the great 1958 sets. With turquoise being the color of the year, I was pleasantly surprised to see the interiors are done in a tan and pale turquoise. The turquoise accents are on the pillows and some walls. I love the sheers that separate the shop from her living space. So if your bored, check out Bell Book and Candle, fun movie.

The Egg and I - Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray

I love old movies. Especially ones about fixing up old houses. This one is from the Ma and Pa Kettle series. It is called "The Egg and I". It is starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray. It is a true classic. Great classic Black and White movie. Great story line about two city slickers that move to the country to start their own Chicken Farm. It is tons of laughs. If you have never had the chance to see it, you should take a bit and enjoy it.

Retro Movie Tuesday

I couldn't resist a great retro movie -- since New Releases come out on Tuesdays. A great retro one is "Man's Favorite Sport", starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss. It is a great romantic comedy from 1964. You will laugh and you will see "Abercrombie and Fitch" when they were a sporting goods store -- long before they were a teen clothing store.

So go retro this tuesday and look for "Man's Favorite Sport."
