Most of you know that I LOVE Martha Stewart. I want to work for her company so bad. I have been fortunate to get to work as an assistant on a shoot at her home and it just cemented my admiration for her. She is quirky and cool which not many people can pull off well. As I wandered near my neighborhood one day a month or so back I ran across her studios on 26th Street. So when I got home I put in a request for show tickets.

Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...
