Saturday Scavenging: Mimosa Sips and Nomad Trips

If you’ve been looking for a sign to declutter your life, this couple is about to make you look like a minimalist amateur.

Local adventurers Brenna and Jason Dragos are officially trading their Raleigh zip code for a converted Sprinter van and a nomadic trek from Alaska to Argentina. To fund the dream and lighten the load for their two pups, they are hosting “Not Your Grandma’s Estate Sale 2.0” on Saturday, March 7, 2026. This isn’t a dusty collection of mothballed quilts; expect a curated party featuring mimosas, music, and high-end gear that definitely won’t fit in a van.

The inventory is a Raleigh treasure hunter’s dream, ranging from Lululemon and Peter Millar threads to professional camera gear and handmade furniture. Whether you’re hunting for vintage comics, high-quality power tools, or “fancy” art supplies, the prices are fair, and the vibes are celebratory. Since they hit the road on March 15, everything—and we mean everything—must go to a good home.

📍 9413 S Mere Ct, Raleigh, NC 27615
📅 Saturday, March 7, 2026 – Sunday, March 8, 2026 | 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
💰 Free entry (Cash and Venmo accepted for hauls)

Come for the Lululemon, stay for the mimosas, and try not to feel too jealous of their upcoming 10,000-mile commute. Just remember: if you buy their couch, you have to be the one to carry it out!
