Martha looked stylish at the tag sale, donning the Short Sleeve Quilted Down Puffer Vest in silver from her own fashion collection, paired with a turquoise sweater and skinny jeans.
She sported her signature warm blonde, short hairstyle and natural makeup.
‘Martha Stewart’s ‘Great American Tag Sale’ was an iconic event and we are thrilled to transform it into an single-owner auction that expands its reach online to a global audience,’ Stone said
The auction will offer a bit of everything to spruce up your living space, including a great selection of furniture
Also coming out of the Skylands estate is a striking and large collection of carpets, ranging in price from $150-800
