The Swasta Ani Masta garage sale is back and I hope you’ll join us. This time, we’re holding it at Bonobo at Bandra (W) on 31 Oct. All you need to do is clean your closets and rooms, look for gently used clothes and things you want to get rid of (but are in good condition) and price them. Since this is a garage sale, we would request you to not price an item for more than Rs 999 (unless it is a flat in Mumbai. Then it’s a total steal at Rs 1199. I call dibs)
This time, we’re adding services, so if you know a friend who is good at caricatures or can strum a tune or gives mean backrubs, haul them them. They can set up a stall and offer their services. Who wouldn’t want a cartoon of themselves for 300 bucks or a pay as much for a 15 minute foot rub?
The timings are from 12 pm to 5 pm, so we should get there by 11 to set shop. Confirm by sending an email to swastanimasta at gmail please.

May I divert your attention to this lovely Origami top? Few more things have been added. Look around. Much obliged.

Hello,
Swasta Ani Masta Shop is finally open. Apart from the usual stuff I feature on the site, we’ve tried to curate one-off sample pieces or those rejected due to minor defects. I’ve worked out the international shipping, but if you live in India, drop me a line and I’ll find out the courier rates. Whew. One more thing done.

In case you’ve been looking, StylePerDiem has moved to styleperdiem.com. You can now register directly and link your posts to your Facebook accounts and tweet about them. There are other exciting things in the pipeline, so don’t kick off your shoes yet.

I’m having a garage sale at Zenzi on Waterfield Road in Bandra (Mumbai) on the coming Sunday (25.10.09). A lot of the stuff found here is going to be tagged, along with other unseen (and mostly unworn) goodies. If you are in the area, drop by between 1 and 5 pm. If you’d like to set up a stall yourself, drop me a mail at swastanimasta at gmail RIGHT NOW, so I can get some infrastructure and drinks ready for you.

If you live in Mumbai, you can read Swasta Ani Masta every Tuesday in the Mumbai Mirror, in the The Cool Hunter column. Unless you don’t subscribe to the Times of India.
Unfortunately, this means stuff will appear here only after it has made it to print. You can remedy that by sending me your cheap buys.
Hurray for cheap things.

Due to the untimely death of my camera, the pictures taken for here will be from my camera phone. The pixelatedness is regretted. I will be shopping for a new camera soon.
