Totally unrelated to window treatments - Random Acts of Kindness

Despite the bad news we hear on a daily basis, stories about random acts of kindness are being shared. Recently, NBC Nightly News ran a series that highlighted stories about people helping others just because it was a nice thing to do. This is the kind of news we need to hear. A friend sent this story which I thought I would share.

If you take a moment to notice, opportunities to help others are all around you. Just yesterday, as I was visiting Boathouse Row in Philadelphia, a stranger asked to use my cell phone because she had lost her car key while running. I was surprised when she told me that she had already asked several people who would not help her. I suppose I'm grateful that they all said no. I got the opportunity to say yes and to be rewarded with that warm and fuzzy feeling that you get when you help someone else.

Sprucing up for Spring



Can you believe in just a week spring will be upon us? I can't wait to ditch my coat! As for our most recent incoming design inquiries, I sense a growing desire to cast off heavy winter decor in favor of lighter, more playful colors. To celebrate spring, I've put together an irresistible collection of fabrics and that adorable nest tassel. To see more of these great fabrics, visit http://www.greenhousedesign.net/
