We are hoping that Mother Nature (a creative woman herself!) will send us sunshine and clear skies for the entire day, 10am to 5pm, Saturday, September 30th, but…
IF it rains in the morning, we will still start the sale at 10am with as much inventory as can be displayed indoors and add outdoor tables and merchandise when in it’s dry enough to do so, hopefully by 11 or 12!
We’ve got a record number of vendors and LOADS of amazing merch, so please send your very best Weather Vibes our way and thank you for being flexible!
What are you doing next Saturday, September 30th? If you’re a bargain-loving papercrafter within driving distance of Morris County, New Jersey, we have a REALLY great suggestion!
WHAT: The famous Paper Anthology Papercrafters’ Garage Sale!
WHY: Because we all looooooooove bargains, right?!
BRING: Your own bag!!!
What amazing goodies will our THIRTY-TWO (yes, 32!) vendors be bringing along to this year’s Garage Sale? The only way to find out is to come to the sale; but seeing as we’ve set a new record for participation, we expect the selection of gently used items at bargain prices to be outstanding. If you’ve never been to Paper Anthology, this once-a-year event is definitely worth the trip! In addition to the garage sale goodies, you can also shop our amazing selection of brand new stamps, dies, stencils, paper, embellishments, paint, ink, embossing powder and pretty much anything else your papercrafting heart desires. There’s no need to bring cash, you’ll pay for all purchases at one time and we accept all major credit cards. Be sure to wear comfy shoes (there’s LOTS to see!) and please bring your own reusable bags. Just a reminder that this is one of the few days in our year that we don’t award punches on our Paper Anthology loyalty cards.

If you’re a vendor and would like a Reminder of Vendor Info just click that bold text to access the original vendors post OR check your email for a message from Elisabeth, especially noting that we’re running a bit short on tables, so if you’re able to drop one off with your sale items, it’ll be much appreciated.
If you’re NOT one of this year’s vendors, we highly recommend using the button on the sidebar of this page to register for emails when the blog posts; we’ll never send you spam and you’ll be amongst the first to know when the call for vendors goes out next June for the 2024 sale. Plus, you’ll hear about our big TWELFTH Anniversary Party coming up in November, the minute we’ve set the date!
SAVE THE DATE: The Paper Anthology Papercrafters’ Garage Sale will take place on September 30, 2023. If you’d like to be a vendor, please carefully read the rest of this post! Then, email elisabeth@paperanthology.com to reserve a spot and obtain your unique vendor number.
Vendor Information
1. Vendors need not be present at the sale, items from all sellers are displayed together, arranged roughly in categories, on tables inside and (weather permitting) outside Paper Anthology.
2. Each vendor will be given an individual number, which must be marked CLEARLY on all your items, along with the price you’ve set for that item.
3. Buyers will be able to pay for all their items in one transaction, and the amounts due to each vendor will be recorded at the register. At the end of the day, each vendor’s sales will be tallied and the total, less 5% vending fee, will be presented to you, the following week, in the form of a Paper Anthology Gift Card.
4. All sale items must be CLEARLY MARKED with your vendor number and your price. Yes, we already mentioned this in Points 1 & 2, but experience has taught us, it’s impossible to overstress the importance of clarity! If the cash register operator cannot decipher your price, they will have to GUESS. If they cannot decipher your vendor number, the sale will be recorded to Paper Anthology. We highly recommend un-smudge-able ink and nice sturdy stickers.
5. All prices must end in .25 cents, .50 cents, .75 cents or .00! If you have a bunch of items you’d like to price at .10 cents each, group them together in a little bag! (Grab bags and “collections” of miscellaneous paper or embellishments generally sell really well; we all love a “surprise” assortment, right?)
6. Sale items may be dropped off no earlier than the Saturday before the sale (9.23.23) and picked up no later than the Saturday after the sale (10.7.23).

Reminder of Vendor Info
If you signed up in June to be a vendor, here’s a recap of the important points to remember. If you missed the sign-up phase, make sure to subscribe to the blog, so you’ll get the notice directly to your inbox next June, and you can be a vendor next year!
Vendor Information
1. Each vendor was given an individual number, which must be marked CLEARLY on all your items. If you’re not absolutely sure what your number was, do take a minute to call the store (at 973- 927-1210) or email elisabeth@paperanthology to check. If the wrong number is on your items, your sales will be allocated to the person who has that number!!! The employees working the sale have NO way of detecting wrongly labelled items!
2. Sale items may be dropped off no earlier than the Saturday before the sale (9.17.22) and picked up no later than the Saturday after the sale (10.1.22).
3. All sale items must be CLEARLY MARKED with your vendor number and your price. Yes, we have mentioned this before, but experience has taught us that it’s impossible to overstress the importance of clarity! If the cash register operator cannot decipher your price, they will have to GUESS. If they cannot decipher your vendor number, the sale will be recorded to Paper Anthology. We highly recommend un-smudge-able ink and nice sturdy stickers.
4. Prices must end in .25 cents, .50 cents, .75 cents or .00! If you have a bunch of items you’d like to price at .10 cents each, group them together in a little bag!

5. Buyers will be able to pay for all their items in one transaction, and the amounts due to each vendor will be recorded at the register. At the end of the day, each vendor’s sales will be tallied and the total, less 5% vending fee, will be presented to you, the following week, in the form of a Paper Anthology Gift Card.
6. If you drop off your items in bags, boxes or bins that you want back, please label them with your last name, so we can be sure to keep them straight. If you’re kind enough to lend tables, the same thing applies! (And thank you very much!)
Once again, If you have any questions at all, feel free to call the store (at 973- 927-1210) or email elisabeth@paperanthology to check; we want you to make LOTS of money while you clear out your older goodies!
