Martha Update!

Ok-I just found out if my napkins are chosen it will be for the Winter 2009 issue, so we may have a while to wait. I will keep you posted.

We have been traveling lots, so I am behind on blogging, napkins and everything else at my house. We are hosting a cocktail party here in 2 weeks-thanks to happy housewife for printing those for me. Now, I just have to get my menu, call the caterer and bartender and make sure my cleaning lady is close by. I have learned and thank goodness hubby as also, that it makes the party so much easier with a little help from all of the above.

We attended a funeral for hubby's cousin this week. Tony Milin was 27 years old graduated from Duke and had just received his medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis. He died of brain cancer. So sad and he was a son that you would wish for your own. Tony was handsome, smart, caring, loved his family, talented (played many instruments), fluent in many languages, and I could go on forever. He will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.

I still need to share my experience of my first Atlanta gift mart. I think it has taken me a while to get over it. (flight cancelled and I had to rent and drive a car in the pouring rain for 8 hours). I am still a little bitter over the whole thing. I did eat at some great restaurants-that I will mention later.

Martha Stewart Calls

(picture from www.marthastewart.com)

No, not Martha but an assistant from her office called me today. I was working at home and usually don't answer the phone, but I recognized the 212 area code as a NYC area code, so I picked up. She was calling from Martha Stewart Weddings and found my website. She is interested in one of the napkins that I carry on my site. She wants to use the napkin for a color palette story in an upcoming issue!! So wish me luck and if I am featured in the magazine they will send me an issue. What a way to spice up my day!
