Martha Stewart Stationary

I found this on House Blend today. First Lilly and now this? Too bad this wasn't available for me, but I do hope someone in blogland gets it, so we can all see!

Article from House Blend:
The Massachusetts company that makes paper for US currency has entered a partnership with Martha Stewart Omnimedia to create a full line of social stationery products.Crane & Co.'s brand director Megan Kuntze told the Berkshire Eagle Thursday that the new line of wedding stationery will be released this spring. The new line will be the Martha Stewart Stationary Weddings Collection.Consumers will also be able to purchase the new stationery on line at http://www.crane.com/, or through other select retailers. This is the first time that Crane has partnered with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.The new stationery products will extend Stewart's wedding franchise, which includes Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, extensive online content, a variety of online planning tools, and wedding-related books.According to Kuntze, Martha Stewart "transformed the wedding industry," through her magazine, Martha Stewart Wedding, which she described as "the absolute bible for any bride.""There was a time when wedding invitations were just white or ecru paper, everything was just every simple, black writing on a white type of card," Kuntze said. "With Martha Stewart there was a whole new look and feel for a wedding, from the right gown to the invitation."

Whatever, Martha!

Have any of you seen this show? I had a free preview of certain cable channels in December and January and that included Fine Living! I love this station! I had Fine Living (and various other cool channels like Wealth TV and this other one that was all about Sonoma, CA) when we lived in our old apartment in Northville. That was because we had AT&T cable. Now we have the Dish. Okay, back on topic. Whatever, Martha! wasn't on the Fine Living Network when I had it in Northville. I am now obsessed! This is the funniest show! On NYE, B and I went out to dinner and then came home drank two bottles of champagne and watched a marathon of this show. That night I came to two conclusions: 1. Its ok that I love this show, because Martha herself has endorsed and allowed it. I therefore don't feel guilty laughing when they make fun of her.

(One happy group)

2. These chicks are high as a kite while filming this show! Ok, Alexis (Martha's daughter) may not be high, but her friend, Jennifer, is surely on something. I'm guessing she's smoked something before the program tapes. I'm not kidding! Its hilarious though and I highly recommend this show. Honestly, I was dying laughing at some points!

(Possibly extremely high co-hosts, gabbing)

Also, now that B has a super cool new car, he also has Sirius Satellite Radio, which has Martha Stewart Living Radio! And, yes, he listens to it when I'm on the car with him . :)

A Bit Bummed

I will be perfectly honest here, I've become a little bit obsessed with Martha Stewart lately. When I saw she was coming to Birmingham to do a book signing, I immediately ordered two copies of her new cookbook (pictured above) from Borders. If you're in the market for this book order it online from here, because its currently 40% off! Great deal! I purchased two copies because I wanted to give E, my friend I met through work who is slowly becoming one of closest friends, a signed copy for Christmas. I then convinced my boss to rework my schedule so I could make it to the store by 6:00 pm on Wednesday. Guess what? Martha switched the time! It's now at 3:00 pm. I can't possibly make it in the middle of a work day. I had B all set to go with me so I could get E's copy signed too. He offered to go without me, but it just won't be the same. :( I'm pretty bummed out. Adventures of a Southern Newlywed did a post about how much she is enjoying her copy and I'm sure E and I will too, I just really wanted to meet "the woman" herself in person and give E an extra special gift! I know she'll still love the book!
