I live in Bucks County PA and we have a great country home décor store with a wide selection of country curtains at reasonable prices, Piper Classics in Pipersville. So with spring coming I took a drive Saturday and found some beautiful curtains to bring my home into spring.Country Curtainshttp://retail.piperclassics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951549388333020172.post-59928078491343127812010-01-08T17:51:15.282-05:002010-01-08T17:51:15.282-05:00i am glad i'm not the only one who has had a w...i am glad i'm not the only one who has had a wee bit of trouble ordering plastic roller shades. sheesh!Anna Whiston-Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921348961654008115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951549388333020172.post-6263165412864384512010-01-05T19:54:51.405-05:002010-01-05T19:54:51.405-05:00Oh, I feel your pain!

The ruffled shades seemed like a brilliant, super simple idea. Too bad it didn't work out, but what you put up instead looks great. Especially when you have it tied back.
