What’s the best thing about garage sales?

Finding random old stuff you never knew existed! Plus they are an insight into people and their lives… pretty interesting. 

What’s the best thing you’ve ever bought at a Garage Sale?

A Wheelbarrow – it was awesome with a red wheel and although I lived in an apartment and had no real need for a wheelbarrow it ended up getting used a lot.

What goes on in your garage?

I have a shared garage with my apartment block. It’s fairly clean due to the rules of the place… but there is this cool kid who is always skateboarding. I watch him when I get home sometimes - he’s really improving!

Whose garage sale would you most like to go to?

Matt Damon’s. I have a crush on him.

What would be your dream garage sale find?

I would like a gorgeous little antique tea set.

What’s the most treasured possession in your garage?

Probably the booze in the fridge. Haha! Nah I don’t keep anything valuable in there – shared garage remember.

Who would be in your dream Garage Band?

My closest friends cause they make me laugh the most and that would be mad fun.

Whose second hand shoes would you most like to walk in?

Scarlet Johansson. 

What’s your best tip for ‘Garage Sale etiquette?’

Get sorted early, throw on some tunes and get your hot friends to wear bikinis ;) And cocktails…

What’s your top sustainability tip?

Get back to basics. You don’t need that much to survive and be happy. Fresh air, smiles and cocktails.
