New curtains for The Palms!

This is a short post to show you my new curtains.  I have the regular accordion pleated shades that you grab from the bottom to pull down or push up.  When they are down, you can't see through them, and there are times I'd like a little more privacy without closing up shop and having no view at all.

I've been thinking about getting curtains lately, and when Hazel posted about Delores' new solar screening shades it started me thinking again.  While I was in San Diego, I checked Target, Walmart, Home Depot and finally Anna's Linens. 

Anna's Linens (click on this link if you don't have an Anna's nearby and want to check them out through amazon.com) was the only store I could find that had sheer window curtains short enough to work for The Palms and these were perfect.  They also had a lot in stock, so I was able to get exactly what I needed.

Because of the colors and all the palms in the motor home, I had to get a plain white sheer curtain, but they  had others.  The link above goes to another curtain that I originally bought for the kitchen. I loved it, but the colors and patten just didn't "go" with my palms, so I had to return it.

I think they look pretty good and I'm really happy with them.




Also, remember the Amaryllis bulb Hazel gave me in Quartzsite before Christmas?  It totally outgrew The Palms, and I gave it to my DIL, Trish, while in San Diego.  (Sorry Hazel, but it was SUPER TALL! and it hadn't even started to flower yet.  Hopefully it will be blooming when I travel back to San Diego in a few weeks.  I'll get a picture if it is.)

I loved having a green, living plant in The Palms, so while in San Diego I got a couple of smaller plants for the kitchen and dinette table.  I'm really enjoying them, too. 

From me and Katie, have a great Tuesday, everyone!  :)
