In honor of Mother’s Day:

On December 26, 2015, my mother passed away unexpectedly.   For anyone who has experienced loss, you know how much your life can change.  I know mine sure did.   Total and complete 180.   I learned a lot about myself the year following my mothers death; I found a voice I never knew I had, I discovered a strength I didn’t know I possessed, and I learned that I can do anything I set my mind to, even if the world tells me I cannot.   And out of the ashes can come beauty.

A year ago, I made the decision to start this blog, even though there were a million reasons why I shouldn’t.  The first that comes to mind is my lack of tech skills, followed by the fact that I am not a writer.  But you know what???  WHO CARES!  I had strong desire to share my passion for film locations with other fans and that’s exactly what I am doing.  And if you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I have met some amazing people through my stories and interviews and I’ve even become a seasonal tour guide at a film set…talk about livin’ the dream!  This is some of the good that has come from something so bad, the beauty from ashes.  Death changes things and my mothers death changed my life as I knew it.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I would like to publicly dedicate this website to my mother, Kathleen.  Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, she is laid to rest there, along with my dad, at the family plot.  I feel her with me when I am researching locations and discovering new places on her turf, always wondering if she has ever been there.  As a Hallmark viewer herself, I know she would have loved reading my blog, featuring locations from the “home of her heart”.  She was a fan of Cedar Cove and loved seeing the familiar scenery every week. I love you Mom….and thank you!

The Houses of Cedar Cove

As promised, here is a gathering of the houses of Cedar Cove.  I hope you enjoy the tour!!!  If you missed last weeks Cedar Cove Introduction, you can read it here.  And check out my giveaway at the end of this post!!!

Olivia’s House: Pilot Episode

This waterfront home, as scene in the pilot episode, is located in the city of Victoria, on beautiful Vancouver Island.  As I mentioned last week, the Cedar Cove pilot was shot on Vancouver Island and production was moved to the mainland for season 1.  Since I have not been over to the island yet, the photo below is from Google.

Olivia’s House: Season 3

While doing some research for my “Look Back” series, I was given the opportunity to visit this incredible piece of waterfront real estate.  I cannot tell you how exciting it was for me to be in Olivia’s backyard, taking in the view we saw countless times throughout season 3.  It was very surreal.  My deep appreciation and special thanks to Doug and Lynda.

Jack’s House: Season 1

Located in Fort Langley, I wrote about Jack’s season 1 house here.

Jack’s House: Seasons 2 & 3

Starting in season 2, this Fort Langley home shows up as Jack’s place.  This house also appeared very briefly in Hallmarks A Ring By Spring, as the home of Rachel Boston’s parents.

Grace’s House: Seasons 2 & 3

I LOVE Grace’s adorable yellow house, featured in seasons 2 and 3!!!  The cedar shake trim, inviting front porch, and gorgeous black front door really speak to me.  Although I do not watch Riverdale, I am told this is Betty’s house in that series.  This Fort Langley home is picture perfect!!!  I was tipped off to its whereabouts by a friend.  Note: I am still looking for Grace’s red house from season 1.  Do you know where it is?  Email me!

The Thyme & Tide Bed & Breakfast: Seasons 2 & 3

We’ve scene it in Moonlight in Vermont, Bramble House, Garage Sale Mystery and June in January but before all of them, it was Cedar Cove’s B & B, The Thyme & Tide.  Read my in depth post on the inn from Moonlight in Vermont, here.

The Nursing Home: Season 1

In season 1 of Cedar Cove, Charlotte spent a lot of time visiting folks at this nursing home.  In real life, it is a nursing home located in Fort Langley.  While I have not been in the building, I am told there is an autographed 8×10 glossy of Andie MacDowell hanging inside.  SO cool!!!

John’s House: Season 1 and Eric’s House: Season 2

In season 1, John rents this sweet craftsman bungalow.  It becomes Eric’s house in season 2, when Warren gives him the place as part of his employment with Saget Development.  Interiors were also used.  Located in Fort Langley, I’m told this unit is a vacation rental in real life.

Ian & Cecilia’s House: Season 2

Located in Fort Langley just down the street from Jack’s season 2 & 3 house, this is where Ian & Cecilia lived.

The Girls’ Rental House: Season 3

In season 3, we saw Justine, Rebecca, and Linnette move into this rental.  Look familiar?  It should.  I wrote about Wendy’s house here, from For Better of For Worse.  This lovely home is located in Fort Langley.

Charlotte’s House Season 3

This incredible property showed up in season 3 as Charlotte’s house.  I’ve had my eye on this place for years and we’ve scene it before, most notably in Wedding Bells.  I have driven past it but sadly, nothing can be seen from the road.  I would LOVE to do a story on this one because I find it totally and completely enchanting.  And I would love to see that fountain out front!!!  Located in Langley, I hear it has been used a lot for filming.
