Let’s get after those flea markets, estate sales, and garage sales with strategies from expert and antiques matchmaker Cari Cucksey.
We’re on the hunt to beef-up our treasure hunting skills with guest Cari Cucksey, owner of the RePurpose Shop and host of ‘Cash & Cari.’
Antiques matchmaker Cari Cucksey joins us from her studio to help us find treasure in the ’trash’ of yard sales, flea markets and estate sales.
She dials down tips that put you in control of the mayhem of a flea market or antiques shopping trip. She gets us up to speed on her new line if paints and stains and genuinely charms us with her glass-half-full outlook on life.
In a world full of treasure it’s hard not to love everything she finds—from loaded guns to family documents to treasures families never knew existed—until she unearths them from the history of the house. That’s why you can see her on HGTV and find the awesome of the awesomes in her RePurpose store.
We’re buying it.
Watch our hangout with Cari Cucksey and share your questions and tips about treasure-hunting at garage sales and flea markets at myfixituplife@myfixituplife.com.
We’re psyched to hear from you!

Since she was 12, Cari has been refurbishing just about anything she can get her hands on. From antique furniture and vintage toys to retro electronics and classic luxury cars, she’s always on the lookout for obscure treasures as she combs through basements, attics and garages.
Cari’s network television hit, Cash & Cari currently airs on HGTV, the W Network, Choice TV and the History Channel in countries around the world. The show follows Cari and her company, RePurpose Estate Services, as they set up Estate Sales on her client’s property, and unearth a host of historical and valuable items. Cari hunts for hidden treasures as she travels far and wide in search of anything she can flip and restore.
“You never know what you’re going to find,” Cari says. “Memorabilia, collectibles, hidden treasure or just junk! But everything was once worth something to somebody, and it can be again.”
