It has been two decades since the editors of Better Homes and Gardens cleaned their corporate closets and put everything out on the lawn. More than 1,200 items will be up for grabs in a massive yard sale this Saturday morning.
"This is your chance to shop from the things that the editors have selected. There are some fantastic style items here and some really great bargains," Editor-In-Chief Gayle Butler told News Channel 8 on Wednesday.
Butler said if you've seen it in the magazine, you could soon see it in your home. She pointed to a pair of studded coffee tables showcased in a recent edition.
A two-person patio rocker is tagged for $$40. A claw-foot bathtub is tagged for $$150. Butler said they have also smaller items like lamp shades, decorative pillows and covered clothes hangers. Most of the items have only been used long enough to pose for a picture and then they were done.
"We sort of cleaned out our book shelves and our prop shelves. We saved things from shoots. They're products we brought in to shoot. So you really have a potpourri of things brought into Better Homes and Gardens: the decorating, the gardening, items for kitchen and bath and items for entertaining and holiday," Butler said.
With loot like that, the crowd could be huge. Butler and her staff are expecting hundreds of people and could rake in thousands of dollars.
"I would say to people come early for the best selection," she said.
The sale starts at 8 this Saturday morning. It's being held on the back parking lot of the Meredith Corporation Headquarters at 1716 Locust St. That's the west side of downtown. There is a lot just south of the building where visitors can park.
There is a $$3 admission fee. Money from the sale and admission will go to a nonprofit called Share Our Strength. The organization wants to end childhood hunger by 2015.© 2004-2011 LSN, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
