Before I get to October Kiss, I wanted to share with you a photo of my brunch this morning.

Back in August, I did something I haven’t done in a number of years.  I picked a bounty of blackberries that grow wild in the PNW, where I live.  Over a couple week period, I canned several batches of blackberry jam and a couple batches of seedless blackberry syrup.  (I used to love giving jam and syrup for gifts at Christmas)   I made up a batch of mini  blackberry pies, which I froze for later, and put all leftover berries in the freezer for future use, so we can enjoy fresh blackberry cobbler during the winter months.  Last week, I made a sourdough starter so this morning, I whipped up a batch of my husbands favorite; sourdough pancakes.  Believe me when I tell you that there is nothing like sourdough pancakes with warm seedless blackberry syrup!  Hubs is a happy guy right now!!!  Its been WAY too long since we enjoyed this simple pleasure and I am so happy I made the time to pick berries and do some canning last August.   And no, I am not going into food blogging, just sharing a photo with you.  Bon appetite!  Ok, onto locations………

I REALLY wanted to sneak in one more Harvest-themed film location before going “all Christmas” on you, and October Kiss fit the bill perfectly!  I recently re-watched this one and within an hour had tracked down several of the locations we saw in the movie.  The following week, I made the drive up to Canada to take these photographs so I could do a post.  I don’t know about you but I thought this was a really cute movie.  It really showcases just how animated actress Ashley Williams is in this role as the super fun nanny, Poppy Summerall.   From Hallmark:

“Poppy Summerall is hired near Halloween as a temporary nanny by Ryan Lawson, a widowed, work-obsessed executive. Through a series of adventures, the eternally optimistic Poppy sets out to teach Ryan and his two young children what’s important in life – unconditional love, family and the joy of everyday occurrences”.

 

The Lawson Home:

The first location I want to share is that of the Lawson home.  This is where Ryan and his children, Zoe & Zach, live.

In real-life, the house is located in a quiet neighborhood in Langley.   The house is very recognizable from the movie and the day I showed up to snap photos, there were no Halloween decorations on the house, just like at the beginning of this movie!   I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed by this…I really would have loved to have scene it decked out with décor.   Unfortunately, there was a rather large camper parked in the driveway the day I stopped by, but other than that, the house looks the same as what we saw on screen.  I love the cedar shakes and the use of stone.

 

Megan’s Home:

Not too far away I found the home of Poppy’s sister, Megan.  Fun fact: I’d actually driven past it before as it is located just around the corner from Aurora Teagarden’s new house, which I’ve yet to post about.  (you know, the one where Niall Matter lives next door) I LOVED seeing a bit of Harvest décor when I arrived to take photos!!!  This beautiful newer home looks just as we saw it on screen.  I just love those barn-door style garage doors and hardware.  The casing above the garage and window is such great detail and really makes a statement.  See how it ties in with those porch columns?  Just lovely!!!

Zoe & Zach’s School:

Just a short drive away from both of the houses is where I located the school that Zoe & Zach attended.  This is the Gordon Greenwood Elementary school in Langley.  I remember the very first time I watched October Kiss, the school’s location was on my radar because it was SO cute!!!   I mean, just look at those darling pencil poles on the front of the school.  #Totallyadorbs

The Park:

Just down the street from the school is McClughan Park, which is the park where Poppy held her yoga classes. We saw this location a few times throughout the movie.

As I’m sure you are already aware, Hallmark Christmas movies have already begun airing!  Last I heard, there are 37 brand movies to premiere this year, between the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel.  And that makes for a lot of movie watchin’!  If you find that to be too overwhelming, I suggest setting your DVR to record the new movies and you can watch them at your leisure.  I know that helped me last year, as I was working full-time and trying to learn how to use Word Press, edit photos, research, and write for my blog.  To be honest, I was still watching the new movies into January.  Of course, the titles I was most excited about, I watched immediately.  This year, there are several on my radar for various reasons.

For the latest and most up-to-date viewing guide for Hallmark, Lifetime, UP, and INSP, please check here at It’s A Wonderful Movie.  My fellow blogging friend, Net, keeps tabs on ALL of the movies you’ll want to see.  Trust me, I’ve been using her Christmas TV Movie Guide myself for the last few years.   Also worth noting: this schedule can change at ANY time.   Net keeps track of network changes to the schedule and posts the updates, so you don’t have to worry!

Next Week: Marrying Father Christmas

As always, I thank you so much for your continued support of this website!  I will be back next week with an ALL NEW Hallmark Christmas location from Marrying Father Christmas!
