Occasional sales are usually hosted by an antique dealer or a group of antique dealers, and are held as often as monthly to quarterly to biannually for three to five days.
The beauty of occasional sales is that dealers restock items throughout a sale and each sale brings new treasures. Dealers strive to showcase decorating with architectural pieces, vintage wares, repurposed and recycled furniture, rustic and retro furniture, cabin and cottage style accessories, household and garden wares, and textiles.
Occasional sales have been around for years and are now more popular than ever. The economy and ‘going green’ has generated a renewed interest in thrift shopping and is attracting consumers that hadn’t ever considered repurposing and recycling furniture.
Many of the occasional sales occur the same weekend, making it easy to make a day of it. Once you discover an an occasional sale that makes your heart skip a beat, mark your calendar with their future sale dates and corral your thrift shopping friends into going with you to the next sale.
