Tuesday's Treasures ~ Power Shopping

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

When a friend calls and asks you to help her pick out decorative items for her remodeled Lake House and Bunk House the only answer that comes to mind is “Let’s do it!.”

We arrived at the "At Home Store" on time at 11 am and finished at 2:30pm! What a haul but it was fun! She had her iPad with photos of each room so we started at one end of the store and plowed through every isle. We were so excited with what we found, our power shopping was worth it!

After finishing up we made it to three boutiques we wanted to check out in the area and scored again!  Casual dinner at the Dahlia Café and we called it a day!

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wow, that is indeed quite a haul.  It sounds like you had a lot of fun shopping but I would not have any fun doing that much shopping, haha.

Nina Hollander, Broker took the words out of my mouth, "What Fun" and I sincerely mean it Dorie Dillard Austin TX . My mom was a wonderful interior decorator (although not a paid professional) and fortunately for me I received a portion of her skills.

I love the turquoise color.  It reminds me of my first car which was that color.  It was a 1960 Corvair.
