Say "Cheeeese"! We had a little photo shoot in the NEST

Even though I changed up the look of my blog last year, in true "Robin" fashion, I already feel it needs freshening.  I contacted an amazing local photographer, Courtney Reese and arranged to have a photo shoot at The Robin's Nest at the Chartreuse barn in Frederick, MD.

 

 

The morning of the shoot it suddenly dawned on me that I was going to be "shot" (he he) and I hadn't picked out anything to wear.  Ugh..."what to wear????"  Color, sequins, and comfort...my traditional uniform.  Nothing gussies up your look like a sequined t-shirt from J Crew.

 

 

Courtney set up her gear and snapped, snapped, snapped throughout The Robin's Nest.  It was so much fun to watch her and see what caught her eye.  I must say, I felt very "fancy" as birdy #3 often says.  Instead of going on and on in detail about the shoot, why don't I just show you some of my favorite pics.  After all, a picture's worth a thousand words....so....blah blah blah blah

 

 

 

 

 

I look forward to using these images in my business!!!  Thanks Courtney for such a fun day!!!

 

Have a good one,

Robin

My dirty little secret.......

Almost 3 years ago my dream came true....buying an 1882 farmhouse in the middle of rural MD.  As an interior designer and vintage shop owner, there's nothing better than seeing your design dreams come true.  However moving from very suburban Northern VA to rural MD is not without its challenges! Shopping...online, groceries...drive at 35min to nearest natural grocer, bank...well that's where this little tale begins.

I have been banking at the same place for over 15 years at a national bank.  Upon moving I made the decision to keep my account there knowing the hassle of switching banks.  The closest branch is at least 25min away. Ugh!!!  Deposits and atm withdrawals must be properly timed. Using the dinky little bank in town would cost $3.50 per ATM withdrawal, ahhh NO not gonna happen.  BUT.....here's my dirty little SECRET.....Sheetz (local gas mart) let's you withdraw up to $300 per transaction free. It's my country girl bank branch! Get coffee, water, nuts, paper and CASH for my vintage shopping trips.

 

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!!!

 

Have a good one,

Robin
