New from our Macy's line, and a behind the scenes look at our craft department

This amazing space at Starrett Lehigh is called the clerestory and it is so functional for meetings, banquets, and for display purposes.  Right now we are showing our latest Macy’s Martha Stewart Collection of Fall 2008.  We are introducing new colors for products that have proven popular and some new styles that we’re sure our customers will love.  I’m so happy seeing everything laid out like this.  It’s so colorful and crisp.

Here are some new additions to our bath towel line.  With so many gorgeous colors to choose from, I can never decide which is my favorite.

 

Our extensive kitchenware line

AND HERE’S SOME OF THE CRAFT DEPARTMENT

My craft department is comprised of amazingly creative and talented thinkers.  There is always so much activity taking place there.  Here are some of the crafts people involved in a weekly product review session.  They’ve been talking about rubber stamps, inkpad colors, as well as marker pen colors.  I sometimes wish I had their job.

Here is a holiday inspiration wall.  Seeing such a visual really sparks the creative brain.

Martha,
Thanks for the tour of your clerestory and craft department, both filled with inspiration and creative genius!

I love the behind the scenes. Thanks so much for the tour.

[Pru]

Martha, the items look beautiful. It is always fun when you show us 'behind the scenes'. Do you have any plans to bring your products to the UK. Am sure that Selfridges or Harrods would be happy to stock them!

[Chris]

If you sold tickets for tours of these scenes people would be lined up like they are to come to your show...Would you please consider it? THANK YOU!!

[Jane M]

OH how I wish I could work there too! That stuff is so right up my ally!

[Trish]

I've seen other photos of your items at Macy's but nothing like this! Wow, you have so much room in that building; thanks for showing us another part of it. Lovely! Trish

[Sonja Nelson]

It looks amazing all set out like that, it's awesome to see everything so clean and tidy and makes you just want to take it all home. The craft department are lucky to have their job, I'm envious!

Martha:

My husband and I purchased a farm in Wisconsin and are planning an extensive renovation. We are planning to change an existing staircase and would like to fashion a newel post like the one in your Martha Stewart Show studio. Any chance you could send a picture for my carpenter? Thank you!

[jane]

These behind the scenes tours remind me of the book you mentioned in the Martha Rules: are you still planning to publish a book about the Martha Stewart design process? I was so looking forward to it, and haven't heard anything since. Thank you.

[Abbey Goes Design Scouting]

I love your line at Macy's (and I loved the line at Kmart,too) You're bringing good design to the masses. Everything in my first apartment came from your line at Kmart. I felt so adult. I just found your blog and am so glad I did. Abbey

[M&Co]

Seeing your show here in Norway everyday now, I'm wondering if your planning a Scandianavian launch of your products ;-) I'm sure they'll be a big hit here with their practical and elegant esthetic :-)

[Leona...Nova Scotia,Canada]

I just loved your tours.It's so nice to see how things come together and how you have them layed out for display before they ever leave for the stores.I wish we had a Macy's here so all I can do is dream for now anyway.
Thanks again and I like everything you share with us.

[Claudine]

I will take one of each item please. I am trying to spy some new things in those pictures that I will add to my list and fill up my "prop garage" thanks for sharing.

Martha:)
Thanks for another great behind the scenes look at some of the things that are going on in your life. The Macy's displays are beautiful. The towel colors are so bright and colorful. And the kitchen wares have to be my favorites. I would be like a kid in a candy shop.
Your crafts department must love their work. I am really looking forward to seeing their new craft items and ideas.

Creative brainstorming at work--it's great to see the behind the scenes peek. Now, where can I get an application? Do you have a need for a mixed media artist on your team? :)

Love the look of the red and turquoise kitchen items, I'm not sure if they are meant to be together or if my eyes just moved to those colors, but its a great holiday look. I hope to see more of it this Christmas.

[julie browne thomas]

Love the creative wall! Also love the space at Starrett Lehigh ! Gorgeous!

[Jan Erickson]

Hi Martha, Once again you have provided us with a fantastic look into yet another part of your wonderful Starrett-Lehigh Building. I agree with Chris. A tour of this building would be the greatest. Sometimes I like to go to Macy's just to see if you have any new products. Thanks for the preview of the new fall products. Thank you for this wonderful, informative blog. I look forward to reading it every day. Jan

[Rica]

This is so cool!!! Just simply amazing what you have!!! Thanks for sharing.

[Paul & Lianne]

We would love to see more of your crafts department and profiles on the staff. We love the behind the scenes stuff. Keep it up!!!!!! MARTHA RULES!!!

[MICHAEL ANTHAMATTEN]

I LOVE THE CUTTING BOARDS. THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN. MANY PEOPLE USE THEM FOR SERVING BOARDS FOR CHEESE AT PARTIES NOW I HEAR. I WANT TO COLLECT EACH DESIGN TO DISPLAY (AND USE) IN MY KITCHEN-I HOPE MORE DESIGNS FOLLOW MARTHA.

Terrific eye candy! I want it all!

As usual, I yearn to work there. Yearn! This is me, sitting here tapping my foot just waiting for my email to pop with your interest.

Feel free to hum along with me to the tune of the Jeopardy theme song!

[bpfster]

That would truly be my dream job. I love to craft and would be in seventh heaven. I will have to go to your Michael's website and take a look and see if there is anything new there.

[Andrew Ritchie]

BEAUTIFUL colours and such a lovely space, Martha! The Macy's line really is exquisite from everything I've seen.

-Andrew

[Michele]

I was at Macy's today and did not see the garlic peeler flexible tube kitchen gadget. Is this new and not-yet-available at Macy's? I would love to get one soon!

[KellySchwark.com]

My creative taste buds are salivating at all of the upcoming goodies you were so kind enough to share with us! I just love the new colors, and the creature cutting boards look adorable!

I also enjoyed glancing at your holiday inspiration board! I offer you an invitation to view some of my own holiday designs on my website. I think you will enjoy my Twirling Trees, which were inspired by dressing our tree one year in her beautiful new skirt! I couldn’t escape the image of the tree coming to life and twirling it around!

Thanks for sharing a glimpse on what inspires you and your team!

Dear Martha,

Beautiful stuff. Would be nice to fly to the US just to do some shopping...

Aren't go going to sell your stuff here in Europe? Come on, give these people a try!

Claudia

[Kim in N.J.]

Hi All -- Don't forget that you can order anything you want from anywhere in the world from the Martha Stewart Line on Macys.com.

Martha -- Your new Fall 2008 line looks beautiful. I also wish I could have one of every color, so I could have a rainbow of your products in my kitchen. It would look absolutely gorgeous!!!

& I love your clerestory space. I could ride my Trek bike in there all winter for my workout. My daughter would love it to rollerskate all around, and my son would be playing basketball weaving in and out of those posts!

Hope all is well and give Paw Paw our biggest hugs!!!

Adios for now, Kim

[chronicchick]

I just love all of martha's lines. The products are of such high quality. I just love that craft area. My dream....

[Kelly]

Martha,
I absolutly LOVE you new line at Macy's! I can't wait to see the new items planned for fall!!
Kelly

[Frank]

I LOVE what looks like the poured cement floor!

[Sherey]

Another lovely tour for us to enjoy. I love all the items offered at Macy's. Such good quality and always beautifully displayed...makes shopping in the 'Martha' section a delight!

Sherey

[Liberty Post Editor]

If you ever want to try a creative thinker from Canada, I'd be there in a New York minute! That is quite a hub of genius you have there.

[Sues]

Yay! It looks like you're finally getting pink products?? That is very exciting to me. I loveee your Macy's line. So much!

Sues

[cindi]

As a stamping/scrapbooking instructor, I wish I had their job also!!!!!

[Judy Blakemore]

I, like a previous caller Pru, would love to see the Martha Stewart craft and home lines here in the UK, your show is such an inspiration to me and I love being able to watch it online.Thank you.

[Terry]

Dear Martha,Just wanted to let you know how pretty you looked on Fridays show.

[Betsy]

Just came back from a trip to NYC. Visited Macy's at Herald's Square. I wish the Macy's here took the same care in displaying your products. It was so much fun to shop and see all the beautiful china displayed so wonderfully. The "cellar's" presentation of all the gadgets was really wonderful. Get on Macy's to present your product in a more inviting way outside of NY.
Thanks for all you do!

[Kay Homburg]

This is a note of thanks to you for choosing to publish Martha Stewart Food Allergy Magazine. This is so kind of you. I am wheat and gluten and lactose allergic. Speaking for so many who live with wheat and gluten allergies, we greatly appreciate this. sincerely, Kay Homburg

[Stacey]

Oh, man! For once I actually want to just hop on a plane to NYC and shop till I drop in the Martha section of Macy's! Not fair, not fair!

[Donna Setterholm]

I just saw the person who started Essie - sp? on the Martha show. I cannot find the website for his business. I don't know if I have the right name or spelling. He has a website for selling handmade goods. Please help.

[Stacey]

Donna, it's Etsy.com.

[Ulla]

Martha: I love your new line, you really capture classic American style! lovely.

[Nancy Jamello]

Loved your show today; your outfit was feminine, flattering and you looked marvelous.
Happy leap day

[Vanessa]

Such beautiful, high quality products at Macys, they finally opened up a Macys near me and I got to go check everything out. I love the line, thanks for the behind the scene pictures

[Liz Ness]

Heh-heh...I think it'd be a blast to do what your crafts team does, too. But, I'm content to be happy by what they make/design -- they ARE good!

[Betty @ She's Sew Pretty]

In my earlier years, I wanted to "be like Martha". Now I would just love to work for Martha. How exciting to see new products coming to life.

[nina]

I am so excited and "martha-ized" with our exclusive Martha products for Macy's and being part of the Bridal Registry team for Macy's I have the perfect opportunity to share all my excitement and help our new couples choose all their needs for their new home. The merchandise is not only beautiful, but well made, practical and so affordable!
Thank you Martha and Macy's!

[cheryl]

Wondering what's going on with the craft line at Michael's. I have been very disappointed in the offerings at my local Michael's (Natick, MA). The shelves have seem empty and picked over for many months now. I was so inspired by the line when it was originally launched. Are there new things coming soon?

[Lydia Fiedler]

Martha -

Thanks for the tour of the crafts department. I'm green with envy. My kitty died last weekend :( so my reaction was to rip my craft room apart and put it back together, only after painting one wall Martha Stewart Splash blue. I'll send pics of the before and after. Your colors are beautiful and it was hard to decide. Snuggle Paw Paw!

Dear Martha,

Once again my husband and I have had to toss out another non-stick pan as it is breaking down. We decided to try out one of your new "green pans" from Macy's and bought the 8 inch fry pan. I tried it out for the first time this morning and was so happy with the results. I cooked an egg in it, nothing fancy, and it just slid right out. It is so light weight too,and easy to clean. I just wanted to say thank you for making a product that is better for the environment and great for the home cook!

Take care, Anjali in Fresno

Where in NZ can we buy your things? You inspire us all.
