Yes Martha, it is!
Ever since I can remember I have been a Martha Stewart fan. I have collected her books, subscribed to her magazines and faithfully watched her show. I have even tried to get tickets to the taping – but have yet to be successful.
My friends refer to me as “Martha”. I live on 7 acres with an orchard, vegetable garden, barn and chickens. I throw themed dinner parties and make many of my own gifts. You get the picture…
So wasn’t I thrilled last February when I received an email from Martha Stewart – well, not Martha, herself but one of her editors. I thought I had finally won those tickets I had put in for. Not so, even better. It seems that this editor had seen my wedding toppers on ETSY and wanted to know if I would be interested in being featured in the upcoming
WOW! What an honor. “Of course” I replied and I promptly shipped a ginormous box filled with toppers to New York. After all, when Martha says jump, you say how high.
Out of all the toppers the one pictured below is the one they chose.
I am so thrilled and honored to be featured with so many other wonderful artist on ETSY. Last year had many ups and downs for me but something like this makes it all worth while. Enough said.
So, if you are interested, check out the

Thanks Martha – it is a Good Thing!

Amada, Congratulations of the Good Thing! What a great honor. Your things are beautiful & you sooooooooooooo deserve to be there. I am coming down from Petticoats & Parasols while trying to gear up for Kim Caldwell's Les Sirens in LA this July. I am getting ready to work on my swaps & outfit (mermaid themed) for the dress up night. I just wanted to drop by & say hello & see what was up with one of my favorite Belles from Savannaha. Charlene
