Martha Madness
Well, it appears that your good friend and mine....the ever clever Martha Stewart....is slowly taking over Hallowe'en. Let's face it...the lady is as smart as she is crafty, and she knows a good opportunity to cash in, when she sees one. Yep, Hallowe'en is the best insider tip she's gotten thus far, and the holiday is hot, hot, hot! Second only to Christmas in sales and swiftly catching up. And honestly, Martha can do Hallowe'en like nobody's business. I for one, look forward to her Hallowe'en magazine all year long and can't wait to see what goodies she sends to Michael's stores for the season.
But to me, she really seems to excel at the paper products and stationary and party supply kind of things. (And YES, I do realize that Martha is not actually my friend, (though she should be)...... and that all those fab ideas don't come from Martha herself, but rather from those uber talented designers that she has chained up in the basement of her office building, doing all her evil bidding.) And believe you me, I wish to the Great Pumpkin that I was one of them.....second only, to being an Imagineer at Disney World.
So I wandered onto Grandin Road's website, into their Hallowe'en Haven, and lo and behold, I find Martha in all her evilness, sneering from the page. And I wonder why Countess Martha is hanging out there in the Halloween section. Then I quickly notice it's because she is hawking her Hallowe'en wares....that's why! And the 'Martha Madness' ensues!
That cunning little minx has been busy brewing up her 'Martha Magic' and spreading her 'brand' across the land. First K-mart, then Michael's...now Grandin Road. From a $150 glittered skeleton, to some mondo fab invitations and labels, to a nifty pumpkin clock....she has officially begun her campaign to become the Queen of Hallowe'en! And of course to get a heck of a lot richer in the process. And although I do love most of Martha's Hallowe'en merchandise, especially paper goods...I still don't know if she can beat Bethany Lowe in the Hallowe'en department....but that is just one good witch's humble opinion, and I adore her. So check out Martha Stewart's offerings at the Grandin Road website and pay homage to the Queen.

Indeed a fabulous site. I've become addicted :)
As much as I'm not fond of Martha, she is good at what she does (or I should say, her people are really good at making her look good - but that's another story!).
Her Halloween magazine is awesome, I am loath to admit.
I've already been watching my Martha Stewart Halloween DVD. I gotta get my fix!!
What I love about the stuff in MS's magazines & her merchandise is that it's (mostly) incredibly tasteful.
I love that skeleton stationary. Well actually, who am I kidding? I love all this stuff.
I love Martha and all her craftiness! :) I wanted to let you know that I am hosting a Halloween swap on my blog. I thought you might want to check it out :)
Well I agree that Martha's talented staffers and designers are every bit as responsible for her great brand, products and ideas. But I do love me some Martha too. I can totally relate to that insane need to perfect a party beyond anyone's wildest imagination...ha! And I also agree with the opinion that her stuff is very tasteful and classy...I just love that! :o)
PS....Nice to meet you Harley Dee...any relation to Belle Dee? Ha!
Do you smell it? Fall is in the air! I can't wait for all the Halloween stuff to arrive!
I had Martha's bats hanging along my slider window but alas they have been taken down cuz' I was trying to sell my home.
I too get a kick out of seeing what Martha has in store for Halloween. Her October issue is one of my early highlights of the season.
I saw some of this in Michaels! I was soooo excited b/c I love all of her ideas, but I was never too excited about trying to make all of them! Thank goodness they finally figured this out! I can't wait until the Martha October issue of the magazine is out!!! I really look forward to that one! Wouldn't you LOVE to go to a Halloween party hosted by Martha??!!! I would be in Halloween heaven!
