Domino tag sale

This morning, my friend Leigh and I went to the Domino Magazine tag sale. We arrived at 10:30, and the lines were loooooooong. (They went around the corner and down the block!) We chatted with the people around us, and it was exciting to meet a few Cup of Jo readers.
This adorable foursome made out with some good loot.
This girl was especially sweet in her braids and trench. She reminded me of Paris.
The sale was held at the swanky 19th-century brownstone of Tom Delavan, Domino's former editor at large. He seemed like a nice guy and was smiling the whole time.
Once we got inside (at noon), the rooms were packed.
Everything had been picked over, but it was still fun to peek around.
Leigh and I liked these rugs--especially the blue and white--but they were priced at $850. Ouch!
It was cool to see Tom Delavan's rad house. You'll notice his tree wallpaper, a long-time blog favorite.
Polar bear, rarrrr!

Bottom line: A fun spectacle but only the early birds caught the worms. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! xoxo

  15. I saw you there (jeans, converse, white day coat, right?) but I was too shy to say hello!

    I was kind of underwhelmed by the sale...the only thing they had left by the time I got in at noon was fabric. Which was handy since I need to make some curtains, but still not terribly exciting. Oh well!

  22. Joanna, can you hear me crying? Can you hear me wailing that I wasn't spied in those photos with my mirrored tables and my bold ikat print toss pillows? Ahhh, to live in the land of sample sales.

    Looks like lots of fun. Surprised I didn't see any black eyes or bruises, but those seem to be reserved for the Choo, Louboutin, Manolo closeout sales. You know...where the elbows REALLY come out. LOL!

  45. To the Anonymous that questioned them selling products from photo shoots: there is more than one possible answer to this. One is that I heard they were selling their own personal belongings, in which case this is obviously not a problem. But also, manufacturers often tell magazines and other companies (like distributers) to keep samples, because no one wants to bother with the shipping prices. If you think about it, shipping costs are often equal to the price of producing the product itself. If that's case, the products were essentially theirs anyway :)

    This looks like it was a lot of fun- too bad you didn't get anything awesome but I'm glad you got to look around and share.
