Potomac MD sale brims with fine furniture, antiques, jewelry

Looking to have some fun and find some great bargains this holiday weekend? Take advantage of some serious deals at our May 25-26 estate sale in an upscale Potomac, Maryland home (7501 Masters Drive) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. This house is brimming with gorgeous fine furniture, antiques, jewelry, books, pool table, a large art collection (paintings, prints) and more. Owners are moving out of state and leaving most of their great treasures behind. (See the first batch of photos on our Facebook page.)

 

Furniture includes a beautiful dining set with table, chairs, and china cabinet. There are also leather couches, upholstered couches, bureaus, bedroom sets, home office furniture and more. An old, beautiful desk highlights the antiques collection. Home decor include a grandfather's clock. You'll find a pool table, patio set, ton of books and games. 

 

The jewelry collection, including sterling silver jewelry, is fantastic, with tons of earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets and pins -- many with animal and nature decor. Our favorite piece is the tiger or leopard pictured here. We also love a little alligator pin that has two tiny baby alligators riding along with her that detach to become earrings.  

 

We've barely seen the art collection but there are plenty of paintings, watercolors and prints. 

We'll post more photos and details on our Facebook page as the week goes on. Sale runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. No early birds allowed. Cash and credit cards only. We will have strong staffers there to help you load furniture on to a vehicle as time allows. Contact Chris if you have any questions or call him at 202 731 9447.

The second day of our latest Falls Church estate sale opened with a rush of shoppers seizing Sunday bargains. The house was packed with Orion's Attic fans. People were calling for help from all directions. One voice, though, was louder and more stern than the others.

 

"Excuse me," he said. "I think you have a gas leak in the kitchen."

I raced to the kitchen and caught a nose hair-turning whiff of gas coming from the stove area. I wheeled around 360 degrees to make sure no one in the vicinity was smoking, called 9-1-1 and gave the dispatcher the low-down. She told me to evacuate everyone from the home immediately and close all the windows and doors to make it easier for the fire company to detect and stop the source of the leak. I actually heard sirens by the time we hung up.

 

"Everyone, get out of the house!," I screamed at the top of my lungs. "We have a gas leak. Get out of the house now!"

There was a moment of deafening silence as ... [Read the rest of this story on our Orion's Attic blog, "Beneath the Stars".]

Attic heads to Silver Spring and Takoma Park MD on June 8-9
 

Orion's Attic returns to our back yard with a June 8, 2013 appearance at the Fenton Street Market in Silver Spring MD. The outdoor market runs every Saturday through fall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features a wide array of vendors. 

 

We'll unfurl our tent again the next day, June 9, at the new Grant Avenue Market in Takoma Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This new venture, sponsored by the same good folks who run Fenton Street, opened with applaud earlier in May. We'll bring costume jewelry and other fun finds to both markets. Who knows what we ourselves will add to our inventory before then! Stay tuned to our Facebook page for more details.
