"there's a little witch in every woman"

"i dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for"


sally and gillian owens have always known that something about them was different.
their parents died when that were children and they were raised by their eccentric aunts in a lovely old house that was anything but typical...

they were taught the "practical" uses of magic and tried to live a quiet life in a town where people always whispered about them...
the family was also rumored to be cursed with the promise that they could never find true love...
the men they fall in love with are cursed with an untimely death...
(click below to check out the movie trailer)


(the quality isn't great:()

now, adult women with very different personalities, the sisters must use all of their powers to fight the family curse and a swarm of supernatural forces that threatens the lives of all the owens women, including sally's two young daughters...
when sally loses her husband (to the curse),
she writes a letter to herself describing a man so amazing he can't possible be real. she does this to prevent herself from getting her heart broken again...
but then he arrives in the form of officer gary hallet
and the love of her childhood dreams
now she can't fight true love no matter how hard she tries...
she must break the curse...

this is one of those movies that you have to sit down and watch every time it is on...
i especially loved sally's apothecary shop and her clothes.
she was a beautiful witch...

"can love really travel back in time and heal a broken heart?
was it our joined hands that finally lifted maria's curse?
i'd like to think so.
but there are some things i know for certain:
always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder,
keep rosemary by your garden gate,
plant lavender for luck,
and fall in love whenever you can".


bye...
more later...
