Princeton WannaBe Blog

I'm not a real historian.   I didn't grow up in Princeton.    I don't have an Ivy League education.   

I'm a total Princeton WannaBe. 

Still, I gush about loving the heart of Princeton as much as I can!


 

 


Princeton has It's Own Interior Therapy Show! (We're Flippin' Out about It!)


 

Come to the May 6th Showhouse Scoop Tour!

What's that tour?  Well, if you like Jeff and Jenni on Flippin' Out, you'll LOVE the Max-n-Mimi tour of a house!

(We'll be using my NEW Whisper Soft Audio System so Max and I can roll through the house whispering secrets about the house, neighborhood, architecture and kitchen design.  Did you know Einstein was friends with the architect of the house?  TRUE!  We'll show you where he left a public display of affection!)  

  So it's pretty much world class Princeton gossip along with decorating samples and advice along with dessert, coffee and sparking wine/beer?

  Yep.  Only Max is WAY funnier when people are drinking!

   

(Regardless, you should know the Junior League has a fancy schmancy Designer House & Garden Open House each year  because it's a brilliant way to get crowds to support their incredible achievements toward building volunteerism, community grants and teacher launch programs ... and MORE!


Want in?  Go to this website and pay the $20.00 in advance! 

(Our tour is free if you pay for your house ticket and then register for the FREE Scoop Tour!)

The photo with Max and I is by Princeton's Don Addison - he's the best! 

(Don would probably know how to turn these photos around on a blog but I haven't learned yet.  I should call him at his office at 609-577-2348 and find out!   The photo of Jenni and Jeff is by bravotv.com!)

Did you know Mrs. G TV & Appliances
along with A Step in Stone
, Liebherr and Miele are sponsoring all this?  TRUE!
