Annabelle’s House in Virginia Highlands

Annabelle’s House

Hi! My name is Annabelle, and I am six years old.

My mommy and daddy told me that my little sister and I are moving all the way to Australia! That’s where kangaroos hop around and koalas hang out in trees all day. Daddy says we’re leaving almost everything behind because it’s too expensive to ship it. Personally, I think Daddy just doesn’t want to carry all this stuff.

So now YOU get a chance to buy it!

The Giant Living Room

When you walk in the front door, you’ll see our giant living room. It has a huge TV over the fireplace, lots of stereo equipment with buttons I’m not allowed to touch, a massive sectional sofa perfect for movie nights, and several of Daddy’s guitars.

There’s also a beautiful piano. Mommy says Daddy paid a million dollars for it. Daddy says that’s not true, but he gets nervous every time somebody talks about it, so I’m not sure who to believe.

The Kitchen

The kitchen is right there too. We have lots of pots, pans, dishes, china, knives, serving pieces, and a really pretty table with six chairs.

There’s also a gorgeous china cabinet.

Honestly, I don’t know why we have so much kitchen stuff because Mommy didn’t cook very much. Daddy says that’s why they invented restaurants.

Mommy and Daddy’s Room

The entire main floor has Mommy and Daddy’s bedroom, and they have everything you could ever imagine in a grown-up bedroom.

Their closet is packed with clothes.

Mommy’s clothes are mostly sizes 6–10. Her tops are medium and large, and her shoes are size 6.

There’s also a really cool gun safe in the closet.

Before you ask: NO GUNS.

I already checked.

Daddy’s Office

Daddy’s office is downstairs too. It has a nice modern desk and lots of office things.

Somehow a bunch of my toys and my sister’s toys ended up in there.

Daddy says we’re “cluttering up his workspace.”

I say we’re decorating.

Upstairs

Come upstairs!

My sister and I have bedrooms full of toys, books, stuffed animals, games, costumes, and fun kid stuff.

Since we’re moving to Australia, we’re leaving lots of it behind for you to buy.

We have a lot of toys because we have grandparents, aunts, uncles, birthdays, Christmases, and grandparents who forgot what they bought us last Christmas.

Daddy says we’ll get new toys in Australia.

I think that’s the best part of moving.

There’s also a full-size pool table upstairs. Daddy says it weighs a ton.

I don’t know if it actually weighs a ton, but nobody has ever successfully moved it while I was watching.

There’s also a beautiful guest bedroom with a giant bed. I think it’s king-size, but I don’t actually know any kings.

The Basement

Now for the coolest part.

The first room in the basement is our movie theater!

You can buy the screen, the projector, and even the popcorn machine.

It’s basically like owning your own movie theater, except nobody’s charging $12 for a soda.

Uncle Ricky’s Secret Spy Headquarters

My Uncle Ricky lived in the apartment downstairs.

There are two bedrooms full of furniture, a living room, another sectional sofa, and another TV.

I think Uncle Ricky is a secret agent.

One time I snuck into his room when I wasn’t supposed to.

I found all kinds of leather things and handcuffs, which I assume he used for catching international criminals.

I also found a whole box of bathtub toys.

There were submarines, torpedoes, and other things that looked very important to national security.

Mommy got really upset when I found them.

That’s when I knew Uncle Ricky must be a spy.

He’s not moving to Australia with us because he had to leave suddenly for secret spy work in Brazil.

At least that’s what I was told.

The Spaceship

Oh!

Did I mention we’re selling our Tesla?

It’s a 2018 model with less than 50,000 miles.

I love that car because it feels like riding in a spaceship.

Sometimes I expected it to fly.

It never did.

I was disappointed.

Girl Stuff!

If you have little girls, you definitely need to come shop.

We have clothes, costumes, princess dresses, tutus, crowns, dress-up clothes, and all kinds of fun things.

Mommy is also selling most of her jewelry.

There’s no gold or silver, but there are lots of pretty costume pieces.

That’s All I Can Think Of…

Well, I think that’s everything.

Actually, it probably isn’t because we have a LOT of stuff.

Just look at the pictures and you’ll see all kinds of fun treasures.

So come visit our house, buy some cool things, and help us move to Australia.

If you see a koala while you’re shopping, please let me know because I’m still looking for one.

Love,

Annabelle (Age 6)
