My dear son, Jon

Wishing u a great day. August 29th your day of birth. I remember going to Bethesda Naval Hospital which was an hour from Reston. Made it in time for your birth. Once off the elevator at the hospital u were born in about 20 minutes. U came quick. My labor was brief

You have been a good and honorable son  Very proud of you. Have a wonderful day tomorrow. So thinking of you!!!!

love Momma  xo

A new home this week in a nice area near Falls Road. Pretty, 1970’s multi-level house. Extra large rooms. A strong French flair. Lots of art, French and Italian pottery with an emphasis on Bunny collectibles. An abundance of quality lamps. Wrought Iron toy collection. Mid-century modern and French collection of country furniture pieces.

Expansive collection of linens. Blue and white pottery and plenty of glassware and serving pieces. It is obvious a lot of entertaining was done in this home.

Tomorrow we will post some pics We are going to have fun here. Most likely we will need the whole week to get everything valued. Yet again, another great home and assignment.

Contessa – McLean Week of Aug 10

imageWe are at a quirky 1940’s constructed home. This one will be a tare down. New young money moving to this neighborhood and mega-mansions are replacing these war-time built homes just inside the beltway. Our family is moving into DC. They spent many years in China. This home is full of art, trunks, artifacts from the revolution, sculptures, wood wall carvings, textiles, Asian style larger antique furniture and tons of books. A strong Russian and German influence in the reading material. This has been a challenge to price as the values are higher than the average home. Very interesting collectible treasures. It’s been a study week. Lots of research involved. We have learned a lot. We are always up for new learning experiences. But we had fun too. We are very optimistic that our sale will be very successful.  The beautiful weather is a total benefit to our effort

Off to Potomac next week. We’ll touch base later.
