Which NEW HALLMARK CHANNEL "FALL HARVEST" MOVIE did you *FALL FOR* this Season?

"Truly, Madly, Sweetly,"

"All of My Heart: The Wedding,"

"Falling for You,"

"Under the Autumn Moon,"

or "Love, Of Course"

Which of these NEW Movies did you enjoy best

during Hallmark's 2018
*Fall Harvest* Movie Event?

Please share "YOUR TAKE" on this recent block of Original TV movies in comments below by answering these Two Questions...

(you can choose more than one for both questions!)

1. Which "FALL HARVEST" movie did you like/love the most?

2. Which "FALL HARVEST" movie poster (above) do you like best?

Looking forward to hearing all your responses! Thank you, in advance, to everyone who shares below!

Oh, and if you're curious what movies were well-loved last year, see them *here*!

*Please note: Since I don't personally watch or endorse the Good Witch series or movies, I have decided not to include it here. If you wish to mention it below - it's up to you. I based my decision on the Word of God. In Deuteronomy 18:9–12 it says, “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, let no one be found among you who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” Thank you for understanding.

Blessings, Net

PS... I hope your Fall Harvest weather has been pleasant. I mentioned in the weekend post that ours has been rather mild, but that completely changed on Saturday afternoon and evening. We didn't have a storm, but major, strong winds went through our area (in the Midwest), and we lost our power for MANY hours! OH MY, I am soooo grateful for our electricity! When you don’t have it, you begin to fully realize how much you rely on it for just about EVERYTHING! My heart goes out even more to those in the hurricane damaged areas who have lost so much more.

Take care, everyone. I pray your Fall weather has been calm and peaceful. Blessings to you all...

Thank you for visiting "It's a Wonderful Movie" today and sharing *Your Take* below on "Fall Harvest."

Is it a deal? See the Season Four Finale of...

The Cowboy Way

image via: INSP

Season 4 Finale: DONE DEAL- Bubba, Cody and Booger close their biggest cattle deal ever on the Season Finale of The Cowboy Way! The million-dollar herd is ready to ship, but moving all that cattle into trucks becomes a race against the clock for their much-needed final paycheck. The cowboys help a woman remove cattle from her family’s land when she is forced to sell the property after the passing of her parents. Having been through a similar situation, Booger is inspired to fix-up his family’s old homestead as a special surprise for his grandma. Cody’s book is finally finished, but as Misty plans the book-signing event, a missed shipment could derail the whole party. The Cattlemen’s Association invites the guys to their annual ball, with a very special honor in store.

Watch The Cowboy Way

Season Four Finale

Sunday, October 21, 2018

at 8pm/7c. on INSP

May you all enjoy this last weekend of Fall Harvest! The leaves are gradually turning here in the Midwest and gently falling to the ground. We haven't had to use our rakes, yet, but I'm sure more will be falling soon! 'Tis the season!

Next weekend... starting officially on Friday, October 26th!, we will be watching CHRISTMAS on both Hallmark stations! Someone pinch me... I still can't believe it!

UPDATE: Our weather completely changed on Saturday afternoon and evening. We didn't have a storm, but major strong winds went through our area (in the Midwest), and we lost our power for many hours! The leaves were definitely blowing and falling, along with sticks and branches. And trees, for some. OH MY, I am soooo grateful for our electricity! When you don’t have it, you begin to fully realize how much you rely on it for just about EVERYTHING!

Because of our power outage, I, of course, missed the new Fall Harvest movie “Love, Of Course,” and then the “Christmas Preview Special” hosted by Kellie Pickler too. But, that’s nothing… there will be encore airings. So… no big deal. My heart goes out even more to those in the hurricane damaged areas who have lost so much more.

Happy Fall Harvest Weekend, Everyone!
Joy and Blessings to you all, Net

Those of you who regularly follow *It's a Wonderful Movie* know... not only do I enjoy a good Hallmark movie and their warm, wonderful stories & mysteries, but I also love to do a little sleuthing and discover the fashion being worn by the actresses in our favorite Hallmark movies, as well!

Oh, how I wish I could find every piece we are seeking, but it's not always possible. However, I did discover 2 dresses you ladies might like! Plus, even better... they're on sale!

While I just happened to be shopping at J.Crew a couple days ago, I spotted a blue dress with roses that caught my eye! I instantly knew I had seen that dress before! I checked Hallmark's pictures from the movie I suspected, and there it was - Autumn Reeser's dress from "Season for Love."

🍨 Here's the scoop! It's the sweet, country blue dress Autumn wears when she and her daughter (in the movie) join Marc Blucas for ice cream! 🍨

*Please note: I am not currently an affiliate with J.Crew, I just happened to see this dress and wanted to share it with all of you!


While I was in the midst of putting this post together I discovered, yet, another dress worn by Autumn in the movie! It's the country floral fit and flare dress she wears at the end of the film in front of the ferris wheel. Reviewers describe it as flattering and feminine, with a lovely fabric and flow.
