More Photos from the Great American Tag Sale, Part 2
My Bedford, New York farm is still abuzz with stories from the Great American Tag Sale.
The weekend's big event brought in lots of money for the Mount Sinai Martha Stewart Centers for Living. We sold hundreds of tickets to the sale. Shoppers from all across North America made the trip - visitors from California, Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Canada, and more. Other celebrities, such as Joy Behar, Blake Lively, and Lara Spencer also attended. And we couldn't have asked for better weather...
Here are more photos from The Great American Tag Sale.
