Tomorrow, February 24th, we have a great television show for you. You may recall from reading my blog, that recently, Eliad Laskin, my tech extraordinaire went to the big Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and came back with his head spinning. He was so excited and wanted to share some of his great finds with my audience and viewers. We invited Wall Street Journal technology columnist, Katie Boehret to join us for the segment. As you know, I find this subject fascinating and had fun with Eliad and Katie as we reviewed these products.
Other guests on the show are veterinarian - Dr. Marty Goldstein, Sigmund Pretzel Shop owner - Lina Kulchinsky, and our set decorator and sewing expert - Aaron Caramanis. Please enjoy Eliad's behind-the-scenes photos taken that day.
Anduin Havens – art director – working on another wonderful creation in the craft area backstage
The craft area is very nicely organized – we love bins and label makers! Spools of ribbons are suspended on dowels.
On set – a table is all prepped for a crafting/sewing segment.
I wonder what the topic of the segment will be?
One of many interesting objects that decorate the set
This is a terrarium designed to look like the flora of Skylands, my home in Maine.
This is our floral refrigerator, keeping gorgeous blooms fresh.
These items are all from the Martha Stewart Crafts Line, available at Michaels. https://www.michaels.com Obviously, this photo was taken around Valentine’s Day.
These beautiful tomatoes add vibrant color to the set.
As do these tangerines.
And these anjou pears
And lemons, oranges, and limes
This is the same cappuccino machine that I use at home – it’s made by Leodoro Espresso Company.
All of the refrigerated ingredients for each day’s cooking segments are neatly arranged.

Of course, we use my new line of cleaning product sold at The Home Depot. http://www.homedepot.com/
