studio sale. cool art. great jewelry

One of my favorite neighborhood artists is having a studio sale tomorrow..
here's here message:



Hi all,
For those who don't already know, in a few weeks I will be leaving DC for 2 years of study and nature immersion in California. If you are in town this Sunday please come by to say "see you later" and help me clean out my studio! I will have some great deals on both my wall hangings and photographs, and of course will have my jewelry as well.

There will be plenty of cold refreshments, but dress for heat. Also FYI while I am gone I will still have someone selling my work at Eastern Market. Hope to see you!

Open Houses scheduled in and around B'dale for TODAY-Sunday 7/5/09

Due to the holiday weekend, the open house schedule is light, but nonetheless, here it is.

Apparently, people DO buy houses on holiday weekends. I was going to tell all about my new listing on Flagler Pl NW that went on the market on Thursday, but it's under contract already (under contract after being listed for one day). I hate to waste the pics of this cute cute house, so here's the virtual tour. It was listed for $425,000.

Open Houses for Sunday

The list of open houses in and around the neighborhood can be found Here.

To see in person the lovely living room shown above, come by my Open House on Sunday from 1-4pm at 167 Adams St NW. This nicely renovated home has three bedrooms and three full baths, as well as a completely finished basement with both front and rear exits. Newly priced at $469,900., it's definitely worth a look!

Neighborhood Safety Walk!



Our first three walks have been big successes! Even though the rain poured down Friday night just before the walk, residents still came out. So join us and walk the streets of Bloomingdale! A strong, diverse community presence will announce that this neighborhood does not tolerate: crime, drugs, violence, and prostitution! We also encourage a caring community where neighbors look out for neighbors and who appreciate what everyone brings to the community table.



THURSDAY, JUNE 4TH, 7:30 p.m.

Meet at the corner of 1st and V Streets, NW
