Good Things from Tag Sales and Flea Markets

Collectors know that Martha Stewart Living has the best ideas for identifying, caring for, and transforming flea market finds. Good Things from Tag Sales and Flea Markets offers valuable advice for entering this world of bargaining and “find” hunting.

Great deals await at tag sales and flea markets, but they can be confusing and even intimidating venues. Fortunately, this latest book from Martha Stewart Living guides you through the intricacies of shopping and negotiating these markets.

First, the basics: what to bring with you, the best times to go, how to bargain, and how to get your newfound treasures home. The book goes on to show you how to spot the real finds in categories such as textiles, furniture, lighting, and hardware. Of course, once you learn to recognise a find, you’ll want advice on how to make it as good as — or better than — new. From making old metal shine to straightening wobbly chairs, all the know-how is right here.

Inspired by Martha’s own passion for combining bargain-hunting with renovation and decorating, Good Things from Tag Sales and Flea Markets is itself a valuable find for any collector.
