This vacation home has some real Eastern Shore Treasures. Two pieces of Joseph Adamo art are just the beginning. He is a very famous painter that lived and painted in Painter, Va. The two pieces at the sale are both limited signed giclee pieces. One is “The Egyptian Box” and the other is called “Good Fence”. Both are beautiful and look brand new. There is an original art piece from one of his students that went on to become famous herself. Her name is Carole Boggemann Peirson. She still lives on the Eastern Shore and does beautiful landscapes. The art piece at this sale is a wonderful still life called “clean”. Another treasure are the two carvings by Eastern Shore Carver Bobby Swain. Both pieces are unique and will make a great addition to any collection. The queen bed has a memory foam mattress that is almost new. If you are looking for furniture for a sun room then we have just what you need. The white rattan look sofa, chairs, and coffee table are in perfect condition. The glass top table and 4 chairs are just as beautiful and would make your room complete. The beautiful inlaid wooden dressers as well as the unique small bedside tables will be great in the bedroom. In the dining area the Persian rug is just the right size ( 6 X8 ) for a small room. If you are looking for a great bike to ride at the beach this Huffy bike is looking for a new home. The “Health Mate” infrared Sauna is made of cedar. This is a perfect Sauna with room for two, has speakers so you can listen to your favorite music while you relax. Moving is easy because the Sauna snaps together and will fit in the back of a truck to move. There is additional artwork, including a study in antique sailboats, some Christmas items and perhaps a few gardening tools. Watch for Pink and Black signs and follow the Occohannock Camp signs. The sale is just a 1/4 mile from the camp. Be sure to watch for the next estate sale on our website April 23rd. Another great sale on the water with many “outdoor goodies” so worth the trip.
