This very personable book offers a novice or an accomplished crafter wonderfully interesting ideas to make with very practical items found at garage sales, flea markets, antique shops. I am now ordering books for other members of my family who have seen my book. The instructions are very easily to follow. I have already begun 3 different projects one of which is a teacup wreath that is breathtaking especially for a teapot and cup collector like myself. There so many ideas for the reasonable price of this book. It is beautifully photographed, and the authors are shown as real as the rest of us who haunt flea markets, etc.

This is a great book for anyone who wants creative ways to use and display their antiques, family heirlooms, and flea market finds. The photos are inspirational and the instructions are easy to understand. I've bought two additional copies for relatives who saw my book and loved it.

Let me start by saying I am NOT a "crafty person." BUT, the pictures, illustrations & directions seem simple to follow! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book!!!!!!! When I looked through it, I immediatedly thought about different friends I wanted to get one for. If you like crafts & flea markets, buy this book! You won't be disappointed!!!!!!

When I read this book I get inspired. The photos are beautiful, the instructions easy to follow, and there are lots of ideas that are cleverly unique. I'm truly impressed with the Leisure Arts books. I think of this book as an heirloom book with ideas that can be passed from generation to generation.It sparks my imagination...giving me all kinds of inspiration for ways of transforming flea market finds into 'One of a Kind' gifts or decorations! This really is a great book.

You will love this book. It contains a variety of projects with easy to understand instructions. Highly recommended for anyone who loves doing crafts.

This book has some of the best and most practical ideas for a variety of flea market finds. I found many simple and unique projects for an unusual variety of items.

Easy to read, great pictures, good instructions.

Too outdated and "hokey" for my liking. Paper covered suitcases, doilies, carousel horses, china with buttons and ribbons glued on and tole painted baby cribs .... lots of victorian styles and silk flowers. I'm sure someone more creative could use the ideas and add a more updated or trendier twist on some of the projects, but it's just not for me.

This book was published in 1996. It is so out of date to current trends. If you like vintage with a victorian look you might enjoy the book. I would like my money back.
