On November 15th, the Solarium will host “Junktique”, an “upscale community yard sale” that benefits Oakhurst Elementary School.  Part yard sale, part artist market, part entertainment, Junktique sounds a lot like some sort of Decaturite nirvana.  (Buy stuff, drink, AND support a local school!?  So this is what Aristotle’s fourth level of happiness feels like!)

For $35, you can be amongst other vintage sellers on the Solarium lawn.  However, be warned…the word “vintage” is only open to so much interpretation.

From Junktique’s website…

Vintage is…

furniture that you would buy yourself, cool home furnishings, jewelery & accessories, other cool stuff!

Vintage is not…

items the Salvation Army won’t take, moldy paperbacks from the basement, boutique products you sell (see Artists’s Market page).

I guess the moldy paperback sellers will have to create their own festival that supports local education.

Lump wants you to come to his neighborhood yard sale this weekend.  How can you resist?

The families of the Ponce de Leon Court Historic District will be holding a huge street sale this weekend (May 16 & 17). All families will be participating on Saturday (from around 10 a.m. to around 4 p.m.), with some families also offering items on Sunday (same hours). The sale will include cookware, serving pieces, electronics, furniture, antiques, books, CDs, clothes for all ages, toys, and more. Come out and snag some bargains while touring one of Decatur’s most charming neighborhoods!
