Re: Going off to college needs

I found this time of year to be best for searching for curtain choices.  *crazy*

@JoyFilled Warrior That's new to me.  I never ever saw curtains in a dorm room.

Re: Going off to college needs

I would give her gift cards for places she will be shopping for college needs.  Also, how about a monthly "goodie box" full of snacks......you can always subscribe to those online.

Hi @Sooner  Woman Happy

 

Now that you mention it.  I lost track of time.

 

When I moved recently, the Prop Mgr, Real Est Mgr said the best sale was with no Curtains, no Venetian Blinds.  Just totally nekked windows.    So maybe that's the style presently? Not sure I could live with completely nude clear windows.

@JoyFilled Warrior LOL!!!  We have not a curtain in this house or the last one we owned.  Plantation shutters on all windows, lots of sun and we can see out--cuts down on the dust too!  I want all the light I can get.
