Welcome to Cynthia Shaver Asian Art Appraiser Newsletter June 2020,
Thank you for subscribing to my Newsletter.
I have been sheltering in place in my postage stamp of paradise here in Belvedere. Iâve planted an herb garden in blue ceramic pots on our deck. I havenât had a container garden like this before, and I am thrilled to see everything so healthy. I canât post photos with this newsletter or it would be littered. Check out my posts on Instagram and youâll understand Cynthia Shaver@Instagram

This exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, because of the pandemic, hasnât been seen by as many international visitors as hoped. =-= Part I of four. It is excellent.

And out of nowhere, rock star Randy Meisner of Eagles fame was from Scottsbluff, Nebraska, my hometown. He married my sisterâs friend Jennifer. Sort of a âsmall worldâ story.
