So, there won’t be a blogger tag sale (at least, not this month, and not in DC), but I will be bringing tons of home stuff and some furniture items to the Arlington Flea Market on August 7.
The flea market is held in the parking garage (which is covered! Come rain or shine!) at the intersection of North 15th St and Quincy in Arlington, near the Planetarium and Washington-Lee High School. Here is a link to the map.
If anyone is interested in joining me and the other regular vendors, the cost to sell is $20 per 10’x20′ space. You have to supply your own tables. No registration needed – it’s first come, first served. Email me if you want more info.
I’m working on taking photos, but here’s an estimation of what I’m bringing. Most of the stuff in our home is getting sold.
**thanks for all the emails about the red office credenza! I’m not sure if I’m going to sell that one or keep it (it’s really, really great storage), but I’ll be sure to do a post if I decide to sell.
***Another Update: I’ve received a lot of questions about pricing. Here’s the deal. A lot of the things I’ll be selling need work (like a paint job, rewiring, new upholstery, etc). So I would say prices are flea market or thrift store range. For example, the blue wing backs from my living room are $50/pair. Lamps are between $3 and $15. I would say most of the smaller stuff is less than $20. Please understand though, that this is all stuff with potential, that needs work.***
15-20 chairs
20 lamps, quite possibly as many as 40. Don’t judge.
20 mirrors
10 side tables

I wish I was going to be there during the sale. I'll be in Baltimore in 2 weeks darn :(
Ugh – I'm in FLA that weekend! I can't get over how much you're selling. Where do you store all this??? I would love your dining room settee!!
This is just plain mean. I will be on our family vacation– if I wern't, I would so be driving up for this!
Will you kids be selling lemonade?
pve
holy crap, woman! So you're going to need like 5 booth spaces for all that, right? Wish I lived near you. I'd definitely want to snatch some stuff up.
What I wouldn't give to be able to scoop up some of those goodies, ESPECIALLY your dining settee {sigh}
Good Luck with the sale!
Oh my! You are emptying your house! I thought I had a lot of stuff, but must send this to Jon so he won't complain anymore. :)
So sad I won't be able to make it. I'll actually be at the Jersey Shore that weekend.
Bummer.
Looking forward to it! And it's right in the middle of my old stomping grounds. Hubby and I lived in a condo right down the street as newlyweds!
I wish I lived close to Virginia. I love everything you have ever shown that is in your house – everything!
So bummed, I'm going to be out of town for my birthday and there are at least 5 things on this list I need :(
I am so sad I do not live on the east coast but in California. You should consider listing some of these items in a private email to me so that I may have a chance to purchase some fun items too! just checking. love your blog and LOVE the dragon settee. Dawn 321 at comcast dot net.
wish I could get that aqua Parson's desk. But I live in NC and will be in SC. Very sad.
i'm so sad that i live in the DC area but will be in California next weekend!!!
Yea!!!! I was so disappointed when you weren't going to be here this weekend. I will see you on the 7th. You have such amazing things. I can't wait.
Can you give us an idea of prices? I am on a serious budget, so I would need to have some sort of an idea before making the trip :)
All I know is, you better not sell the ottoman! It's part of your family history now! ;)
arghh – I will be out of town that weekend and it seems like you have awesome stuff to sell! Bummer, I'll have to catch you at the next one.
Ahhh I'm so in!! This is going to be amazing. Can't wait!
Holy Cow! This is the mother of all sales! I seriously considered driving from Columbus OH to attend. I got on Google maps then realized my nieces and nephews are driving from Kansas that weekend to visit ME! SO NO DICE! I think all your stuff will be done in .2 seconds flat. Good luck!
I can just imagine the awesomeness of what you're going to be selling! So sorry I will miss it (houseguests in town for the wknd) but I'll stay tuned for posts about the things that don't sell that day…
Just added this to my calendar — excited to see what you have!
In my fantasies I'm flying east and renting a truck!

WISH I WERE ANYWHERE CLOSE! sounds wonderful!
Jenny, I'm so jealous that you get to hit the reset button with your move coming up. My husband and I combined houses when we married two years ago and I'm STILL weeding out his icky bachelor stuff. How exciting to get to start fresh in a new place! Good luck with your big sale. I know it will be tremendously successful!
How I wish I could be there! Your lamp comment made me laugh out loud…mostly b.c I have the same issue.
Oh how I love your blog and everything about you. The next time I'm in NY, we really must meet!
Embarassing, I just realized you meant Arlington VA — I thought you were talking about Arlington MA, so sad I can't make it!
Hope it goes well!!
OMG! I am so excited about this!
Good grief, if it wasn't such a long drive from Austin I'd be there in a heartbeat! I'm so jealous of all your local readers!!
Do you have an idea approximately when things will start up in the morning?
Totally wish I could make this! Take pictures :)
Jenny, you are killing me with that list! I will be in New England on vaca. We live so close, too, bummer! I am sure it will be a big hit – have fun and like PVE said, I hope the kids are selling lemonade!
Have you been using all of these items or just collecting them? I don't have 20-40 lamps in my home and am jealous.
I am so there. 7 am sharp!
Well goodness me. All I can think about (since I'm in the west and going is not an option) are the rooms you are gearing up to fill! Can't wait to see what's brewing in your creative mind! Hope the move goes well!
I'm drooling! I wish I lived closer. I want your dining room settee!!!!!
I wish I was close enough, I'm in Chicago. This sounds like a fabulous sale and I have been looking for 2 twin beds to makeover for so long!
I'm making the drive! Can't wait!!
I will be there with bells on-thought I missed it last weekend while I was on vacation-this news makes my heart sing!
Urrggggggggggghhh!
This is just wrong. All the lovely goodness! I just saw this post. I have to find a way up the beltway…with a truck.
