Ella's Interiors & Gifts in the strip center in front of Londonderry has been open now for about three and ½ years. I saw it open and then preceded to drive by it almost every day for about 6 months before I finally decided I needed to go in and check it out. I'm surprised I waited that long we have lived in the area 11 years and having any type of convenient shopping has been a long time coming. (I can still remember when Randall's in Panther Creek was our closest grocery store.) Normally I go in to gift shops and walk right out but in this instance I was pleasantly surprised. The owner Suzzanne Ogrodowicz has put together a tasteful shop at reasonable prices. 
To make a good thing even better Suzzanne has recently added a post office. This is a full service Tomball post office. I was a little surprised that being in the strip center in front of Londonderry would make it a Tomball Post Office instead of a Spring Post Office as Londonderry subdivision directly behind the strip center is a Spring mailing. I don't exactly understand how they decide where one mailing area ends and the other starts but nonetheless it is a Tomball post office.
For those of us that live in Augusta Pines, Coventry, Londonderry, The Preserve, Traditions or Wimbledon Country a post office is a major trek. Plus once you get there they all have long lines. I have waited for as long as 45 minutes to mail a package and that is not even during the Christmas season. When I go in to Ella's I may have one person in front of me. You do need to pay by cash or check. I have had t
o go back to my house after my check book but since it is so convenient it is no big deal. Now that I know I just try to keep a check in my billfold; as in this day and age I rarely write checks.
Post office hours are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday. The actual store is open until 5:30.
While you are in the store you will want to check out all the unique gifts and interior design products. I love antiques and she has some great buys on antiques. Our Women's Church retreat was in Round Top during the antique festival this last year. I wanted to buy some kind of dresser to use to reduce a clutter area in my game room. I was so disappointed in what I saw and how expensive everything was. The week after the retreat I stopped in at Ella's and there was the perfect dresser and at a reasonable price. Here I drove an hour and a half looking for something that was in my own back yard.
They also have some great cards. I bought my Mother a Mother's Day card that brought te
ars to her eyes. Then I followed up with a wonderful Father's Day card. I'm not sure how I'm going to top those this next year. I guess when that time come I will need to go check her selection out.
If you are having trouble finding that special gift Suzzanne also makes custom gift baskets. As I said earlier I think for those of us that live in the communities of Augusta Pines, Coventry, Londonderry, The Preserve or Wimbledon Count
rythis is quite the find. You can go buy your stamps, mail your packages and purchase that special gift all in one convenient store.
When I was in taking these pictures she told me she is going to start having weekly specials on different items in the store. Whatever season you happen to be in you will be able to find those special seasonal gift items at Ella's Interiors and Gifts.

Golf is big around the Spring area with many golf course communities such as Augusta Pines, Gleannloch Farms
, Windrose and Northampton to name a few. They all offer exceptional amenities with a variety of lakes, walking paths, aquatic centers, equestrian complexes and community centers.
The area was settled by German immigrants in 1840. The Wunsche family settled in the area and began farming the land. The area had a tremendous growth after the railroad was built through the town in 1871. The town served as a railroad center in the early 1900's. You can visit the Spring Texas Historical Museum to find out a more complete history of the area.

Tomball Texas is located approximately 28 miles northwest of Houston along State Highway 249. Unlike most of Northwest Harris County which is unincorporated the city of Tomball is an actual town. The City of Tomball has a local government, city ordinances, public works, city council, community center. The City's slogan is the hometown with a heart and with the warm friendly people they truly are.
With a rich history; the town has been around for over 90 years. It was first a railroad town and then became an oil town. The town was named after State Senator Thomas Henry Ball in 1907. Thomas Ball helped the town get established as a railroad center. Dramatic changes happened back in 1933 when oil hit. A 100-foot gusher totally changed the area attracting hundreds of new people to the community. The city made a deal with Humble Oil and Gas allowing them to drill in the city. As part of the agreement the residents had free oil and gas for 50 years. The town was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not as being the only city with free gas and water and no cemetery.
Magnolia Texas is located about 45 minutes to an hour from the city. If you are looking for a home on land close to the city this is the place to go. Magnolia TX Real estate is booming with country subdivisions popping up all over the place.

The Woodlands located along I-45, about 25 miles north of Houston in Montgomery county. The newest village is being built in Harris County just to the south. It is one of the original master planned communities in the nation. From its inception in 1974, the Woodlands have continued its concept of blending nature with today's modern conveniences. This creates a lifestyle unequalled almost anywhere in America. The Woodlands is nestled in 27,000 acres of towering pines, oaks, dogwoods and other assorted vegetation. You sometimes feel like you have to search through the trees to find anything but that is the ambiance of the Woodlands.
Community service organizations organize resident programs such as The Woodlands Watch and they also provide resident forums for community involvement. Some of the community events that are organized include a Fourth of July parade, the First NightTM New Year's Eve celebration, National Night Out, art shows, flea markets, Earth Day, and dozens of other neighbor-to
-neighbor events. The developer is always looking for ways to better the Woodlands, such as giving Free trees away on Arbor Day. Free seeds are made available at the wildflower festival through the Lion's Club.
