Book Description
It's a girl. It's a boy. It's Flea Market Baby-the latest arrival from authors Barri Leiner and Marie Moss (Flea Market Fidos, 2002). This unique decorating book celebrates the popularity of old-fashioned ideas for a new generation. Authors Leiner and Moss offer their vintage nursery know-how with easy and inspiring ideas for decorating, collecting, and gift giving with flea market finds.

Nestled throughout the book are tips and tricks for repurposing vintage wares, like turning a chippy pie-safe into an inventive changing table, showering a new mom with a keepsake present from the past, or creating one of a kind bedding from vintage textiles. The book's clever approach will help fill a child's room with a playful spirit that turns it into a personal and nurturing space.

Leiner and Moss take us on a tour of their favorite flea markets and junk shops as they gather the goods for feathering the nest in a unique way. With more than 200 color photographs and dozens of decorating ideas, Flea Market Baby is the definitive retro registry and resource guide for parents-to-be.
