Yard Sale, L.A. designer style

Imagine if you stumbled across one of those 10 family yard sales that didn't include, weird pilly clothes, and faded plastic toy, but maybe gorgeous designer chosen, lamps, art, rugs, side tables etc...

Imagine if you will, that the yard sale location was not at the end of a cul de sac but in the back yard of an adorable Cape Cod style house just a few blocks from Venice beach.

And then let's just further imagine that instead of 10 families, it was a group of designers, all of whom you've read about in shelter magazine, seen their work and drooled over their homes.

Imagine no more, because Saturday August 8th {10-4}, this dream is a reality.

say what??? No, seriously, check this out:

The Designer Tag Sale will be an interior designer yard sale/tag sale hosted by entrepreneur Amy Swift (www.smartypeople.com), which will include ten of Los Angeles’s top designers selling items from their personal inventories including small furniture such as side-tables, lamps, rugs, pillows, art, accessories and more at incredibly low prices! Nothing will be over $200, and prices will run as low as $5.

Are you freaking out a little? Feeling your breathe get a little more shallow? wait, listen who's involved in this little shenanigan.....

The following interior designers are confirmed: Molly Luetkemeyer, Ron Woodson, Jamie Rummerfield, Lindsey Dann Miller, Vanessa De Vargas, Paula Smail, Carla Lane, Jennifer Culp, Michelle Workman, Krista Ewart, Kelly Van Patter, Erica Islas, Janamor Decor and Stephanie Visser.

Gift bags will be offered to the first thirty attendees including gift certificates, coupons, and other fun items.

Any left-over designer inventory will be donated to a local Los Angeles women’s shetler. Entry fee is $10.

You can bet I'll be there. 5:00 am sharp. Pink foam curlers and slippers.
