I'm going to tell you a little story about a stressed out crafter....
It was Friday and I was sitting on my mothers couch in the Bay Area when I opened up a conversation on Etsy from Daniellexo, from admin. She said Etsy was to be featured on the Martha Stewart Show and they were interested in a set of my accordion books in consideration for the episode. Oh holy goodness Yay, right?
It was total elation until I read they wanted the books Monday, three days from that very moment, where I was sitting, out of town, on my moms couch. The one and only best thing that could ever happen to a crafter and I was NOT home to send the items off. If there was ever a time to PANIC that was the very moment. I am, however, incredibly lucky because my good friend & shop assistant extraordinaire Lea kindly agreed (after a smidge of begging and pleading) to go to my home, pack up the items and ship them off, overnight express. I immediately called the producer (yeah, that's a number I'll be keeping) to let her know I was having items sent and that she could reach me by phone or telegram or flying mule if needed. After a few days of nail biting it was confirmed that the items arrived in perfect condition and just now confirmed that although they won't be mentioned by name they will be ON THE TABLE during the episode, on Martha Stewart's table, on her show, while she talks to Etsy president Rob Kalin, on the Martha Stewart show. Martha. Stewart.
Yay.
The end.
:D
Ps it airs friday the 29th. Martha Stewart Show. (ahem) If I can get a download of the segment I'll show it off for ya, here.
Yay, again.

Your accordion books are going to be on Martha Stewart Living? Your accordion books are going to be on Martha Stewart Living! Yay! Congratulations!
How exciting!!! They should mention your name though, but these are so special everyone on her staff will be asking, "Who made these?" My sister, Susan discovered your Etsy and told me about you, and then I found your blog. I love these books. When I lived in Asia the Chinese had calligraphy journals that were covered in satin fabric and opened up in accordian style. I adore how you design these, the paper, the shape everything about them. Congratulations again! Karen
I am so happy for you! I love it when good things happen to good people.
I was just thinking about how your studio looks like Martha came in and did a bunch of 'good things' and then there you go. Wow wow wow what a freaking 180 degree turn!
Congratulations, that is wonderful! So glad you were able to be included.
Holy Cow! That is so awesome! Congratulations - they're gorgeous too, by the way. :)

Fantastic news, how exciting. I bought a set of your accordion books a while ago, I'm thinking of writing a little something in one of them as a Mother's day gift.
AHHH! Oh my god, i would pee in my pants. Good thing someone had a house key! Well, i already told my mother that since i dont have a tv here, i will be at her house on friday to watch. i will wave a hello to my littleputs on martha, a huge inspiration to me.
WOW... congratulations! i knew martha was doing an etsy segment, but what a thrill to have your products on her show!
