Contessa will be in Middleburg Friday and Saturday wrapping up appraisal for another estate sale. We love  this town and the countryside. Soooo very beautiful.

Take the time to go for a drive while  “mother nature” gives us this beautiful spring season. The countryside is teeming with beauty. image

If u get out this way, make it over to Upperville which is just up the road. I suggest the Hunters Head Pub For “bangers and mash.”  Yum!!!!  And if u are so inclined, enjoy it with a cold Guinness

Contessa continues working at the estate site in Middleburg, VA. I am here today until 3 pm. Then will break for lunch in town at The Red Fox.  Will also visit a certain fav shop. Weather is a little gloomy but the VA countryside is beautiful and today there is a horse show one mile from the estate. We were by there this morning to watch the riders and horses doing their jumps and runs. So cool. Back to Alexandria by evening

Enjoy our pics for today!

Contessa continues Thursday thru Saturday in Warrenton, VA. This is a large estate sale but we are getting closer to finalizing placement and final pricing. We have made some wonderful discoveries and researched some quite nice art. Mostly small oils in some very nice frames. Looking forward to Saturday the busiest day of the sale. Of course we are praying for superb weather.

The week of April 20th we head to Middleburg for a new adventure   We will keep you posted on this new estate once we arrive

if you have never experienced auctions or estate sales you should consider trying it out.  It’s a whole new world in buying, selling, curating and acquiring.

Looking forward to a couple great weeks ahead.
