    Sarah’s House from “The Craft”

    ‘ Another day, another request – this one also from my friends Lavonna and Katie regarding The Craft.  (You can read yesterday’s post about HarborPlace Tower from the movie here).  During a recent group texting session, Katie asked if I knew the location of the home where Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney) lived with her dad,…

    Our Rehearsal Dinner at POP Champagne & Dessert Bar

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned many times before on this blog, POP Champagne & Dessert Bar in Old Town Pasadena is my very favorite restaurant and, even though I wasn’t even engaged at the time, when I first walked through its front doors over a year and a half ago, I immediately knew it was the…
