For you history buffs, you'll be interested to know that Easter has not been in March for approximately 93 years and will not be again for a little over 200 years. Naturally we all remember the real reason for Easter....Resurrection Sunday. Jesus born a man, died for our sinds and raised on the third day.

Weather permitting the Spring time early arrival will make most of us feel like getting the yard and home in shape and ready for visitors, garden parties etc. Well, don't forget those aged or just plain out of date window treatments. White wood and faux wood blinds brighten every home on the inside and the outside. Woven and cellular shades are becoming very fashionable also, as many seek to let in the light while keeping energy cost at bay.

Honeycomb cellular shades will allow filtered light to enter the room while not letting all that summer heat come at the same time.

Both products are available in a blackout version or with a blackout liner if you desire to eliminate further heat from the inside spaces.
