I enjoy visual movies and one of my favorites is "Practical Magic" starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. The movie is based on the novel by Alice Hoffman.It isn't necessarily the story line, even though it is very interesting - it is the house and garden that won my heart. The Victorian house, cottage garden, conservatory, kitchen and the shoppe Verbena that Sandra Bullock's character is the proprietor, are all extraordinary.
It's a beautiful movie with a light hearted plot, laced with comedic moments and graced by Stockard Channing and Diane Weist.
Back in 1690, some people believed Maria Owens was a witch. Others claim that she was just unlucky in love. Both were true. And in fact, both traits became family tradition: garden-variety witchcraft combined with sorrows in love, in somewhat unequal proportion. http://www.practical magic.warnerbros.com
The shop "Verbena" designed for the movie filled with handcrafted lotions, bath oils and elixirs.
Sandra Bullock's character's love interest, Aidan Quinn.

I have seen this movie 20 times and never get tired of seeing the beautiful set designs, the superb acting of the assembled cast... I'm glad you enjoyed the posting.
Thanks so much for sharing your pictures! I have seen Practical Magic millions of times and I still enjoy it immensely. It transports me to this beautiful world, and I absolutely love it. I especially love where the house is located, on an island right off the coast of Washington. Beautiful.
