Ever wish your garage sale shopping was a little more…curated?
The team at Alykhan Velji Designs in Calgary is holding their 5th annual garage sale this weekend in the parking lot behind their office, and selling their own curated picks of home decor and furnishings.
The annual sale donates 20 percent of its proceeds to Making Changes, an organization that helps women return to workforce by providing knowledge and a selection of work attire.
You’ll find side tables, accent chairs, fabrics and wallpapers, along with art work and vintage itemseverything we’ve come to love in an Aly Velji-designed home (and we do love his designs here at WL!). “It's all been curated by us,” says Velji. “Some of it is leftover from photo shoots, things we havent ended up using, and it’s all in great condition.”
Head over to 217 4 Street NE in Calgary on Saturday, September 14 from 10 am to 3pm to find your next great piece. (I call dibs on anything pink.)
More details on their Facebook event page – and below.
