I'M AN OFFICIAL "VILLAGER"
 
Yippee. Had so much fun in TV last week. And, I wasn't sure I would purchase but I did. I am the proud owner of a Cabot Cove Villa, like DickY's. In the Village of Caroline. And I think my friend Gigi is sold on the idea of retiring to TV. She love it as well.

I had such a great time in TV; loved meeting all of you at Crisper's, Whiskey Creek. Thanks to VK for driving us to friends villa. Thanks to all of you for being so kind and friendly.

Now, I have to figure out how to take care of two sick parent's, work full-time, furnish my villa (incl. used golf cart) and get the house ready to rent. But I'll do it, by Golly, I'LL GET THE JOB DONE. Any suggestions about steps to take in furnishing would be much appreciated. Beds, then golf cart. . . . that's my priority list at this point.

Closing 5/27. Would love to get together with any/all of you for a Meet/Greet at that time.

Jerseygirl, congrats! I've gone on at great length in previous posts about Bargains & Treasures .. I love B & T. (If you hit the seach button, there have been lots of great posts about furniture places).

I am so happy for you that you will own a home in TV as of May 27. Sounds like you have a lot of challenges ahead with working full time and caring for your parents. But it also sounds like you have the determination and strength to make it all work. Good for you girl.

Enjoy paradise!

Jersey Girl!

Good for you. We too will be trying to get the basics when we come down in June for a week or two with both of our daughters and our grandson. It is so expensive even to rent a trailer to bring things from one home to the other. I have been to Bargains and Treasures and it is an excellent place. I was delighted that the items, although used, did not look 'down at the heels'.

I admire you for seeking some very deserved dreams in the face of your continued responsibilties. I know you will do it. One thing at a time. One day at a time.

Hugs and best wishes.

JG congratulations, I am waiting for my new furniture to arrive for my Villa. I also scan the Daily Sun adds and Craig's list along with the local yard sales to complete the furnishing for mine.

Welcome and Congratulations. :welcome:

I will second or third ???? the idea of furnishings from Bargins and Treasures. I have several pieces that I bought there. In fact I have been looking for a table for my entry way and just found one there Monday. When we moved to TV in Nov. I haunted the place and struck gold.
Now I just drop in occasionally.

And dont forget Ayers consignments on 441, I have found some great pieces there,Also Bills used Furniture in Leesburg. Ya never know, they might have just what your looking for without spending a fortune.

Graciegirl,

Congratulations! I am so happy for you, I am also so jealous!!!

Jersey, I couldn't be more happy (oh yes I could, wish it were meeeee.) but so glad for you, I know this was a big decision on your part, but its going to be wonderful. Can't believe you bought before me... but at least we'll be starting out together. Won't that be fun! And we'll even invite GiGi to visit, huh. Loved the photo of your beautiful villa. Good job!

Good luck, lady, I'm so happy and hope we can be neighbors..

Congratulations!!! You deserve the best!

Your friend, Kathie :bigthumbsup:
