tag sale

Last month, Martha Stewart held a two-day tag sale at her farm in Bedford, New York, where she sold her own stuff — lawn furniture, wicker baskets, Christmas ornaments and, according to a Curbed reporter, $40 ornamental concrete leaves.

“Uh, hi, um, Professor Thomas. This is Zoe Washington. I sent you an email last week, asking if you knew a man named Marcus Johnson. He said he met you thirteen years ago at your tag sale? I put his picture in the email, so can you please let me know if you recognize him? It's really important.”

It was 13 years ago, and he came to your house in Brookline to buy some stuff at your tag sale.

“Grandma said you met her at a tag sale.”

“He was at a tag sale,” Grandma said.
