Saturday, December 4th 2010: a grey near freezing temperature day by the Starrett-Lehigh Building that houses the
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Offices, just a block away from the wind whipping along the Hudson River.
The line for the 2nd year of their
Holiday Craft Sale actually didn't look too bad until I realized it wrapped around a corner and came back the other way, but even the chill couldn't keep me away from another visit to those hallowed halls.
Almost there...
There was another line to make your own glittery ornament.
And yet another for the 2nd room they added this year.
But in the middle were lots of pretty things, including setups from this month's magazine.
There were paper flowers by the Martha Stewart team,
and pretty gift tag ornaments from
La La Laurie.
Purl Soho had a great table
and then I bought a MSL snowflake punch from the craft corner and was so inspired by the 50% off a Michael's purchase coupon they handed out that I headed way uptown to buy some glitter. And what do you know -- another line!
Later on I walked by
Carlo's Bakery, home of the
Cake Boss to see more people waiting in the cold.
Guess they really wanted some holiday sweets!
Anyway, it was all worth it...Martha, you've stolen my heart again.

Looks like a great event for all the crafty people. Too bad it's freezing cold outside.
Now THIS is what I call an exciting blog post! What a fun day and what an adventure! And you have pictures... the only that could have made this better would be if you bumped INTO Martha! Woe. I hope you really enjoyed. I did just from looking at your pics!
