Whatever the need, mark Saturday October 26th in your diary, the day the Garage Sale Trail returns for its third year.
The community-inspired event entices all in your hood to come together and host events to promote re-use and re-distribute unwanted goods likely destined for landfill.
Not your average street affair, this year across Australia around 300 000 sellers will set up home shop and show their bric-a-brac and pre-loved wares. Previously, someone sold their apartment and there was even a couple of Swedish flatmates that set up a roller disco alongside their sale. Here’s some of what you can expect later this month:
In Sydney, stylist extraordinare Mr. Jason Grant will be holding a special sale on the day, located at Hyde Park Barracks. Coordinated by Sydney Living Museums it’ll be stocked with designer goodies and no-longer-needed props. Visit Paramount House in Surry Hills and shop at their pop-up market curated by The Thousands, drop by 107 Projects in Redfern and book in for a free furniture upholstery or upcycling workshop. Make wonderful things out of recycled cardboard at Work-Shop in Chippendale or see the Trail on two-wheels on the Garage Sale Bike Trail.
In Melbourne, find 40 stands full of vintage treasures at the Lost & Found Market. At the Revolution Project sale trawl through fabulous pre-loved designer women’s clothing and brand new shoes. Step back in time with Dames of Distinction or join a bunch of crafty Fitzroy ladies as they stage a music-sausage sizzle-bake-sale full of pre-loved clothes, shoes, vintage, records, books, succulents and briccka-brack.
Enjoy your day discovering second chances.
