Eiffel Tower Looks Like Sparkling Jewel over Paris

Eiffel Tower Looks Like Sparkling Jewel over Paris.

France and Paris are on the scene this month as we have just remembered D-Day, a pivotal battle in World War II, and celebrated Tennis’ French Open over the weekend. What a wonderful time of celebration and insight to both of our nations’ past and present! We’ve shared D-Day, where our troops landed at Normandy beach, France, observing the protection of freedom last week. On Saturday and Sunday, the French Open at Roland Garros announced Sharapova and Nadal as Women’s and Men’s Singles Champions.

Our Paris Image highlights the nighttime sky of the Eiffel Tower and the City of Paris with it’s jewel of Sacre Coeur in the background. A stunning view and scene to witness!

Those who live in Paris enjoy views like this, and others in the rest of the world see beautiful and gorgeous landscapes and seascapes from our homes and offices. The Earth is filled with Natures’ beauty  where we live – magical!

Here in Colorado Springs, I have the privilege of enjoying views of Pikes Peak from my home. My Silhouette® window shadings allow me to see my view through the sheers, while having UV protection from the sun and enjoying the iridescent feelings in my rooms, somewhat like the jewel tones in Paris. The light is a draw for me, and also attracts critters and bugs into the Silhouette® type shadings’ side openings. They are unattractive and can harm the Window shadings if left inside the shade.

We developed a solution for that problem with our CamilyWand™ Sticky Bug Removal Tool™. It is an extension pole with a perpetually sticky tip, when kept clean, that “grabs” the offending insect and easily allows for removal. It is an invaluable tool to have in your home cleaning supplies for reaching inaccessible places. I use mine often to protect my Silhouettes and reach offending spider webs, pick up light weight papers or jewelry which has dropped behind furniture, and many other creative uses.

As we enjoy our summer outside fun, it’s important to keep up on our home maintenance projects. At CamilyWand™, we hope you’ll have wonderful times this summer, enjoying good, safe fun with your family and friends!

Baseball, Golf, July Barbecues, Bastille Day

We all love the great outdoors in mid summer – the weather brings sunshine, beneficial rain, and longer daylight hours for us to enjoy our summer days. I always feel more productive and energized in the summer. Going to a ballpark for a ball game, playing a round of golf on your favorite golf course, spending time in the garden and having outdoor meals with friends and family. Or for the French people, their Bastille Day that is celebrated on July 14th, is often a reason to give a party.

Bastille Day is the French holiday celebrating their democracy.  Bastille was a prison that represented the monarchy in France, and the people stormed it on July 14, 1789. It is not only the French people that celebrate that day, many will visit the Eiffel Tower, put on their berets and pick up a paint brush ( hoping to become the next Monet), or take a boat ride down the Seine River. Maybe some of our readers have a Bastille Day party planned for Sunday.

Their homes will be ready, their blinds and Silhouettes® will be free of debris and bugs, and they will have an enjoyable time entertaining friends.

I was at a working party last night, where one of our readers had a sunroom full of Silhouettes, and nary a bug in sight. My friend, who was our hostess said, ‘I keep all of the bugs out with my CamilyWand™.’ How rewarding to hear mention of our Sticky Bug Removal Tool™ there. She removes them whenever she sees them, so her filtered views are preserved, her blinds stay in pristine condition and her investment is well maintained. Our tool also works on other window shadings such as Nantuckets™, Luminettes®, Pirouettes®, Soleras®, Vignettes® by Hunter Douglas and Shangri Las, Illusions as well as other similar products on the market.

You might wonder why bugs and debris get into the Silhouette® window shadings. It is the attraction to LIGHT. My friends sunroom overlooks a beautiful garden and pond looking out toward Pikes Peak and the Colorado Rocky Mountain front range. The shadings were down covering the glass with the vanes in the open position, and because she uses the tool often, the filtered view at sunset was spectacular! Times like these are why we brought our CamilyWand™ to the market. Beautiful window shadings, beautiful view and wonderful friends all together for a productive evening~~~ all while enjoying Mother natures’ offerings!

We hope you have a great upcoming weekend with any parties or celebrations you attend!
