Bella Villa in Aldie, VA


Bella Villa is the most adorable little shop in Aldie, VA. I am often in there buying little chairs or stools for props, and have become friendly with owner Rosanna Funiciello Smith. She is great at what she does - and makes everyone who walks into the shop feel right at home. The shop is in an old house, right on Route 50, and each room holds different antiques and new pieces, mixed in such a way that you want to take it all home with you. Check them out at 39478 John Mosby Hwy. in Aldie!
Cool old keys and jewelry pinned to a mannequin.
As I was taking this shot, Rosanna was talking to two customers and I noticed her reflection in the mirror and thought it was cool.

I love when you can find new uses for old things, and that's one of the things Bella Villa does best. Case in point: the wine stoppers above.
Another great benefit -- there is a wine tasting shop next door with 100s of wines under $10. So make a day of it!
Aldie is having a Bicentennial Celebration on Saturday, May 23, and Koru Photography will be there. Hope to see you all there!
