Leah and I stopped by a local joint called The Blind Factory at noon today to look at window shades for the new house. Leah spends a lot of time walking around in the buff, so shades are a top priority for her. I’m a bit more modest, so I don’t see the matter as being quite so pressing, but we were near the store, so we stopped.
I’ll cut to the chase. $3,000 seems like a lot of money to spend on window shades. And these aren’t even top-of-the line window shades we’re talking about. So we’ll look around online and see what we can find. It’s bound to be less expensive than what we’re finding here in town. Why does anyone even bother to open a shop like The Blind Factory anymore? Tax shelter?
