Thinking of our neighbors to the South

In the wake of the dreadful storm (that no one is sure how to pronounce) here on the Southern Eastern Seaboard of the United States, we are keeping our friends and neighbors in Charleston, SC, Savannah, GA, Columbia, SC, Greenville, SC, Wilmington, NC and the Outer Banks of North Carolina in our thoughts and prayers.

We have made it through this storm, to date, without damage or flooding to homes or lands.

My past life as an accomplished muralist, gilder and decorative artist whose work is featured in many of the great homes in Virginia came together with my work as an equally accomplished Realtor, licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia!  This article featured in the October 2015 Issue of VIRGINIA LIVING  magazine mentions me by name and my contribution to Ben Lomond.  I represented the Sellers in this transaction but have become great friends with Craig and Zorine Shirley, the present and future owners of Ben Lomond – Circa 1730.  Enjoy the article about an amazing Historic Icon and equally iconic family!

A Must See this Summer!

Don’t miss the opportunity of a lifetime as L’Hermione – the ship that brought Lafayette to Yorktown, essentially paving the way for the American Independence, comes to a Port near you!  She has been described as the Statue of Liberty of the Sea.  Go to the link below to find out where she will be next!

I went with my husband and daughter, to Yorktown – it was truly a highlight of our lives to see such a magnificent ship, re-created in every detail, using 18th century methods, tools, etc.  I was so excited to see the myriad of families, school groups and people from every walk of life experiencing History in a real and tangible way.   Don’t miss her!  If you are on the East Coast and have not had the opportunity to see this magnificent replica, view her schedule and find out all about her online at http://www.hermione2015.com.
