Midnight Margaritas


My Blood, Your Blood, Our Blood Pendant
Midnight Margarita Journal



The journal is filled with the lyrics from the soundtrack of the movie.


I popped some symbols from the movie on the front cover such as the little angel wings worn by the girls; the letter written by Sally to Gillian; a red rose from the trellis; Jimmy Angelov's ring and a jar filled with something beautiful from Sally's shop.


A quote from the book that is partly used in the movie.



A detailed look at the broom. Blogger wouldn't put my pic the right way, no matter how many times I loaded it!!!
A close up of the binding-diamond X of course-my favourite!!!!
Lyrics from the soundtrack of the movie.
 I really love the movie Practical Magic and I've always had a soft spot for it. 
I also love the book which is so very different to the movie.
I guess the movie has more international appeal with the addition of roses rather than lilacs and a very cool Transylvanian, Jimmy Angelov...
