HGTV Star to Appear at Valley Event

Master craftsman Mark DeVito

ANSONIA - Mark DeVito, master craftsman from HGTV’s Flea Market Flip, will be at the Armory Oct. 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the My Sister’s Place Flea Market Flip fundraiser. The Armory is at 25 N. Cliff St.

The event is free and open to the public and will feature more than 45 “flipped” items, upcycling and crafting demonstrations and refreshments. 
Proceeds from the sale of each flip item will benefit The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services.

 

My Sister's Place Flea Market Flip is a fun, creative twist on recycling or up-cycling similar to the HGTV show with the same name, Flea Market Flip. 
Individual participants or teams of two must purchase their flip item(s) at MSP for $50 or less and no more than $50 may be spent on repurposing/up-cycling the item(s). 

 

This year we have over 45 awesome and creative pieces for sale. 
Some of the items purchased for the flip include dressers, chairs, tables, yarn, glassware, and a special piece by Ansonia Mayor David S. Cassetti. 

Here are a few of the entries:

My Sister's Place, a program of BHcare, is a family thrift store at 380 Main St. All proceeds support The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services.
