WHEN PIGS FLY AUGUST SIGNATURE ESTATE SALE
FOUR DISTINCTIVE ESTATES. ONE EXTRAORDINARY GALLERY.
AUGUST 28–30
Friday, August 28 | 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
Saturday, August 29 | 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
Sunday, August 30 | 10:00 AM–3:00 PM
This August Signature Estate Sale brings together four very different consignors, each with a collection and point of view all their own.
From a Dallas socialite with multiple storage locations filled with treasures, to a beautifully appointed Preston Hollow condo, a University Park home in need of a new venue, and a returning North Dallas consignor making a dramatic downsizing move, this event is all about variety, discovery and the unexpected.
Expect furnishings, fine and decorative art, designer clothing, gold jewelry, collectibles, accessories, practical pieces and those wonderfully unusual things that make an estate sale worth exploring.
And then there is the cabinet.
More on that below.
MEET THE FOUR ESTATES
THE DALLAS SOCIALITE — AND YES, THERE’S MORE
She’s back.
Our Dallas socialite has become familiar to many of our shoppers, and with multiple storage locations, we continue uncovering pieces from her extensive collection.
This month, she’s bringing us even more.
And one piece deserves a special introduction:
THE 12-FOOT-TALL CABINET
Yes. Twelve feet tall.
It is officially the most massive piece of furniture we have ever had at When Pigs Fly.
Frankly, we think you could turn it into a bunk-bed cabinet.
We’re kidding.
Mostly.
Beyond the cabinet, expect another wonderfully eclectic assortment from a consignor whose collection continues to surprise us.
THE PRESTON HOLLOW CONDO
Our Preston Hollow consignor brings a completely different personality to the sale.
Think designer pieces, gold jewelry, lovely clothing, beautiful furniture and sophisticated décor from a well-appointed condo.
This collection adds a polished, fashionable layer to the event, with pieces for both the home and the wardrobe.
THE UNIVERSITY PARK HOME
Sometimes the contents of an estate simply need a different location to be properly presented.
That was the case with this University Park home.
We relocated the collection to the gallery, where shoppers will discover an appealing combination of the practical, collectible and unique.
These are the pieces that make estate-sale shopping so much fun—the useful mixed with the interesting, along with plenty of things you weren’t looking for until you saw them.
THE NORTH DALLAS DOWNSIZE
One of our returning North Dallas consignors has made a significant lifestyle change, downsizing from approximately 10,000 square feet to 3,000 square feet.
And when you eliminate 7,000 square feet from a home, something has to go.
Fortunately for our shoppers, many of those pieces are coming to the gallery.
This returning consignor brings another diverse selection of furnishings, art, clothing, jewelry, decorative pieces and more, adding yet another distinctive point of view to our August event.
FOUR CONSIGNORS. FOUR DIFFERENT STYLES.
That’s what makes this Signature Estate Sale especially interesting.
There isn’t one decorating style.
There isn’t one era.
And there certainly isn’t just one kind of shopper this event is designed for.
You’ll find the beautiful beside the practical, designer pieces beside collectibles, statement furniture beside everyday finds, and familiar names alongside things you’ve probably never seen before.
It’s exactly what we want our Signature Estate Events to be:
A place to explore. A place to discover. And a place where you never quite know what might be around the next corner.

Plus much more as the estates continue to be unpacked, photographed and prepared for the sale.
THE SIGNATURE ESTATE EVENT EXPERIENCE
At When Pigs Fly, not every estate can—or should—be sold inside the home.
Our Signature Estate Events allow us to bring multiple estates and collections together under one roof, creating an entirely different shopping experience.
Instead of visiting several homes across Dallas, you’ll find an ever-changing collection of furnishings, art, jewelry, clothing, decorative objects, collectibles and unexpected discoveries throughout our gallery.
Every consignor has a story. Every collection is different. And you truly never know what you’ll find.
WHY SHOP THE GALLERY?
Our gallery format allows us to combine collections from homes throughout the Dallas area into one curated shopping destination.
Multiple estates under one roof
Four consignors mean four different collections, styles and opportunities to discover something special.
Room to explore
Our gallery allows us to showcase substantial collections and large-scale furnishings that aren’t always practical to present in a traditional residential estate sale.
A comfortable shopping environment
Shop indoors in a climate-controlled setting with room to browse.
A resource for designers, collectors and decorators
Whether you’re furnishing an entire room, sourcing for a client, adding to a collection or simply hunting for one extraordinary piece, our gallery changes with every event.
LARGE-ITEM PICKUP & MOVING — PLEASE PLAN AHEAD
Because our warehouse is currently full and we must quickly make room for our upcoming events, all purchases should be removed during the sale whenever possible.
For large purchases, we offer one additional pickup day only:
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 | 10:00 AM–2:00 PM ONLY
No other pickup days or times are available.
PLEASE COME PREPARED TO MOVE YOUR PURCHASES
When Pigs Fly does not provide onsite movers or staff to wrap, pack, carry or load purchased merchandise.
Please come prepared with the people, equipment, packing materials and appropriate vehicle necessary to safely remove your purchases. If you are unable to move an item yourself, you will need to arrange for a professional mover or other assistance.
This is especially important when purchasing large furniture, artwork, mirrors, fragile items and oversized pieces.
Please consider measurements, doorways, transportation and moving requirements before purchasing.
Our next estates will begin moving into the warehouse immediately following this event, and we cannot store sold merchandise beyond the designated pickup period.
ALL PURCHASES MUST BE REMOVED NO LATER THAN 2:00 PM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we make room for the next extraordinary collections coming to When Pigs Fly.
NOT A TRADITIONAL ESTATE SALE
This is estate-sale shopping reimagined.
We relocate qualifying estates, partial estates and collections to our gallery, where they can be professionally organized, presented and marketed together.
For our clients, it provides another option when an in-home estate sale isn’t practical.
For our shoppers, it means access to multiple estates in a single destination.
And for all of us?
It means we occasionally find ourselves standing in front of a 12-foot cabinet wondering how on earth we’re going to move it.
That’s estate sales.
And that’s When Pigs Fly.
A DESTINATION WORTH THE DRIVE
Come ready to browse.
Come ready to explore.
And, as always, come ready for the unexpected.
Four completely different Dallas-area collections are coming together for our August Signature Estate Sale, and there is no telling what you may find.
Curated highlights. Unexpected discoveries. One extraordinary gallery experience
