Posh New Downtown Seattle Condominiums

Specializing in downtown condos, I have to tell you about this new modern and sophisticated building I am really excited about, The Insignia. As of last week there has been 100 pre-sales. This community is two 41 story buildings located at 2301 6th Ave. Great location, one and 2 bedrooms, amazing finishes and views. For more details or a tour contact me!

Seattle's Revolutionary Arts Access Program For Teens

I am always looking for ways to provide my children with more culture here in Seattle. (Especially when summer is just around the corner). I ran across this wonderful organization called TeenTix founded by the Seattle Center.This organization provides teens ages 13 to 19 with a pass for $5.00 tickets to several theatres, museums, The Seattle Symphony, The Northwest Ballet and more. In fact, there are currently 53 art organizations participating in the program. For more information and to get your pass click on the link ....http://www.teentix.org/

Fashion Friday, Sarah Jessica Parker New Shoe Line and Rebecca Minkoff

Last Friday I headed down to our Nordstrom's flagship store with my friend Sheila. We headed first to the Salon shoe department where they were launching Sarah Jessica Parkers new shoe line collaborated with Manolo Blahniks CEO. (shown above) . I was impressed. The shoes were priced in the $300 range, half the price of Manolos. They had that soft feeling soul and gorgeous sleekness of Blahniks. The most charming fun accent the shoes had that I loved, were that each shoe has

a wonderful small strip of grograin ribbon placed perfectly on the back of each shoe. This charming detail comes from her childhood memory of having worn ribbons in hair.

SJP will be actually making a personal appearance at Nordstrom's flagship store March 5th.

Next, I headed over to the Rebecca Minkoffs personal appearance where they were serving small lovely treats and sips. I got a chance to chat with Minkoff  She really was lovely. I love her line of bags but she had on some fun eye catching shoes on and told me about her line of shoes!

 Here is my Minkoff purchase. A fun little wristlet that she signed on the back! All and all a great day!

New Website, introducing www.chardondankershomes.com

Its been awhile since I have posted. I joined Coldwell Banker Bain associates as a real estate agent a few weeks ago. I am finally up and running and things are quieting down a little, (not the market though). Anyway, one of the projects I have been working on is my new website called www.chardondankershomes.com. I am launching it this week. It will be a great real estate tool for searching for properties, and community information such as schools and local happenings! Please check it out!!
