I have been collecting plastic deer for a few years now. My mom has
found quite a few for me at yard sales and flea markets. I even decided
that they would play a big role in this years Christmas theme.
So you can imagine how surprised I was when I saw this spread in this
month's Martha Stewart Living.
Little plastic deer everywhere.
Sometimes I feel like she is watching me.
But I am using her Michaels craft stuff for my "Woodland Creatures"
Christmas themed projects so it's all good.
I am so enamoured with the Martha
Stewart line at Macy's. I liked her stuff at KMart, now this
Tiffany blue at Macy's... it's got a hold on me. I can hardly stand it.
I am also pretty excited about the Vera
Wang collection at Kohls. Her clothes are so elegant. I could
definitely get used to this high end designer at everyday stores trend.
When I got my latest issue of Martha Stewart Living, I
discovered they included a free issue of her new Martha
Stewart Newletter. At first I thought "I so don't need another
subscription to something... but then I read it and I was hooked. It
comes with "behind-the-scenes news, exclusive photos, product pics,
Martha's calendar..." basically a more in depth peek into Martha's
life. I found myself talking like I had been chatting with her over a
cup of tea... "Martha doesn't need a lot of sleep... but she lets her
dogs sleep in her bed." "Martha really likes those Orka silicone oven
mitts." "Martha was just in China." Just what Aaron needs to hear all
day long.
I also find her magazine body
+ soul more and more interesting. It has lots of information
about green, sustainable living. This month's issue has tips
for a cooler, greener home, natural remedies and the best organic ice
creams. I also love the cover with sea shells and starfish. (Reminds me of my vacation... *sigh*)
I heard Martha
mention her Michael's
craft line a few weeks ago.
We have lots of Michael's in Rochester so I was pretty excited. When I
went and saw an entire aisle of Martha Crafts I was estatic.
The craft supplies are great and the packaging is amazing. I
had to get a few things, my favorite of which is a bone
folder. She
uses one all the time, but I was never able to find one. I am sure it
is going to make all the difference
for my crafts.
Well, I didn't get to talk to her, but I did get to
see her again since she
was back in town for an Ad Council luncheon and to film the
lilacs at Highland Park. (of course Tina and I hot footed it from the
luncheon to the park to trail behind her and peek from behind the
bushes at her and her film crew)
She just left all her lilac bushes at her recently sold Turkey
Hill home, so they gave her several to take back with her. The mayor
also declared today Martha Stewart Day. AND there is a lilac variety
named after her.
The lilac segment will air on her show on Thursday.
