Like dumpster diving, minus the garbage

Need to clear the clutter from your shelves? Toss it in a box and haul it to Schlafly's urban thrift sale, where you can either rent a booth and sell your wares or donate them to a Goodwill collection committee. There's room for 100 vendors, and all rental fees ($25 per booth) benefit Goodwill. To rent a booth, go to http://www.schlafly.com/schlaflea/. There's beer and barbecue, to boot, so honor the old adage "one man's trash is another's treasure" and visit the SchlaFLEA Market.

Billed as the "most unusual garage sale this side of the Mississippi," the SchlaFLEA Market will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 2 in the Schlafly Tap Room's parking lot (2100 Locust Street).
