I hope this newsletter finds you warm and in high spirits (like I am feeling now after a trip to install some window treatments in my beloved and cold Boston).

Before we dive in, we want to send a heartfelt congratulations to our installer extraordinaire, Kevin! He recently became a proud parent to a beautiful little bundle of joy, Olivia. As a close-knit team, we’re thrilled to welcome the newest addition to the Shades in Place family and wish Kevin and his family all the love and joy that parenthood brings. Let’s raise our glasses (or blinds) to Kevin and his growing family!

Now, let me take you on a little journey to Boston, where I recently embarked on a special mission to cover for Kevin during this exciting time. Picture me, bundled up like a burrito, trudging through the historic streets, reminiscing about my days in colder climates. Boy, was it a chilly adventure! But it got me thinking about why I made the brilliant decision to escape to sunny Tampa.

How Window Treatments Mirror My Journey from Boston to Tampa

As I navigated the frosty sidewalks, I couldn’t help but draw comparisons between my escapades in the world of window treatments and the warm embrace of Tampa’s sunshine. It’s like finding the perfect sauce to spice up your favorite dish (and we all know Brazilians know a thing or two about zesty flavors!). Tampa, with its vibrant energy and endless supply of Vitamin D, was the perfect match for me. It’s like finding that perfect set of blinds that not only adds flair to a room but also lets in just the right amount of light while keeping the nosy neighbors at bay.

Leaving behind the bone-chilling winters of the North for the balmy breezes of Tampa was a move that mirrored the transformative power of a well-chosen window treatment. Just as the right blinds can turn a drab space into a cozy haven, Tampa has transformed my life into a never-ending vacation, complete with flip-flops and abundant sunshine.

So, as I gallantly covered for Kevin in the bustling streets of Boston, I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey that led me to the land of palm trees and eternal summer. It’s a reminder that, much like customizing window treatments to fit a unique space, life has a way of guiding us to the perfect spot to unfold our stories and slather on that extra spicy dish.

And remember: if you ever need new window coverings or a new zesty Brazilian recipe, don’t be shy!

Until then, stay warm and talk soon.
