Dig Vancouver presents the story of

The Two Day Garage Sale with Awesome Cool Stuff

 Once upon a time there were two friends who realized their similar obsession:   finding quality things. Treasure hunting, if you will. Yes, they did this as a hobby on their own and now they had a partner.  So, they created Dig Vancouver and collected and collected and stored fantastic furniture, funky household goods, and renowned art.  

Well, now these girls are ready to part with these horded items – items of incredible value and coolness.  Some things will require a little handiwork if you are into that sort of thing. But, rest assured whatever has been collected can be deemed valuable - they don't shlep for nothing. 

Yes, they will relax in the yard, in the sunshine (Fingers crossed. Either way, tents will be erected). “This will be a fun stop on Vancouverites’ weekend comings and goings!” exclaimed the ladies in unison. “We’ll play funky music!” One said, “We’ll socialize!” the other retorted. “People will buy things!” they both yelled. 

They are especially proud to be consigning some incredibly soulful and provocative works by internationally acclaimed local artist Jan Wade. Wade's work deploys the materials and symbols of the everyday to explore issues of post-colonial identity, ethnicity and spirituality. Drawing creative resources from her own cultural history, Wade’s work focuses on altars as vehicles of worship and memory, as vessels for African spirituality and to reconcile the painful past of the African Diaspora.

Please come by and bring someone who needs some stuff - or doesn't but can't resist a bargain. There will be treats.  It will be fun.  You’ll be recycling – always good!  Bring the big vehicle – you just never know.  These ladies are wheeling, dealing, and ready to sell you what they’ve collected! They like to share!

Thanks and this story ends with, you guessed it, love. You see, at the end passersby end up falling in deep and desperate love with some of the pieces…so much so that they simply cannot go home without them. Because love is good right? What a wonderful story. See you there!
