When Busy Philipps and Marc Silverstein decided it was time to clear out their Connecticut storage unit after their separation, they saw an opportunity to do something good with the money. Rather than hiring someone else to handle it, the couple took matters into their own hands and organized a garage sale in New York City.
The two of them, who ended their 14-year marriage in 2021, dedicated themselves to setting up the sale. Busy Philipps, 44, describes the tremendous effort they put in, explaining that she could barely walk on the morning of the sale due to exhaustion from working late the night before and spending the entire week preparing the space at Cure Thrift in New York's Union Square neighborhood.
