STREET SALE
The Trinity Antiques District is having its annual street wide sale on Saturday, April 29, with over 300 vendors from 10 blocks of antique shops.

By the way, she is the glorious old age of 22–I think we’re going to see great things from her.
HOME SALES HINT NO. 23
Spring…the weather is great, your windows are clean, the azaleas are in bloom. Even if you are NOT planning on selling your home, go out and snap some high quality photos (if digital, at least 4 meter) of your home’s exterior. That way, should you ever decide to sell in another season when the landscaping is not so pretty, you will be armed and ready with glorious, nuclear green photos sparkling with color!
