Mark your calendars now and stay tuned for more details in our next newsletter: We are scheduled to host a huge estate sale on Oct. 6-7 in McLean, Virginia. The sale will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

We may have to extend this one to three days due to the incredibly high volume of antiques and collectibles that will be available. We have only begun to uncover what's in this house and have found items including a fantastically comfortable leather couch set, Willie Mays autograph, a lamp in the form of a bull fighter, eye-popping art, old fishing rods, china, records, signed cast iron figures, modern furniture, and a mountain of mantiques and antiques (tables, chairs, trunks and so much more). The owner was a true collector and this estate sale is going to be an absolute haven for people who love fascinating stuff. 

 Don't forget to monitor this newsletter and the Orion's Attic blog for more details as they become available. We anticipate selling more items at this sale than we have ever sold in one weekend! (Shoppers and homeowners alike loved the last Orion's Attic estate sale in McLean.)

The house will also go up for sale after we clear it out and the owners give it a makeover so this sale will also give you a special sneak preview of a great home. 

Orion's Attic is teaming up with the nonprofit Silver Spring Town Center inc. to conduct an Upscale Yard Sale fundraiser this Sunday Sept. 9 from noon to 7 p.m. on Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring. (Address is 1 Veterans Plaza, Silver Spring.) Proceeds benefit the organization dedicated to providing arts and entertainment programming in the Silver Spring Civic Building and on Veterans Plaza.
