Not long ago, our own editorial director of food, Sarah Carey, traveled to Louisville, Kentucky for the Courier-Journal's Food & Wine Experience. She held a food demo, and met many visitors who attended the event. Guests enjoyed stepping into our Martha Stewart Experience Pavilion, where they saw products from all of my retail collections, and joined in on a Martha Stewart Crafts project at the Michaels Paint House.
Enjoy our photos from Louisville - and I'll see you all this Saturday, November 4th, in Phoenix, Arizona! Be sure to follow me on Twitter @MarthaStewart and on Instagram @MarthaStewart48 for announcements.
The first thing visitors see when they enter our Martha Stewart Experience Pavilion is the grand “Wall of Martha” featuring our partnering brands, including Macy’s, The Home Depot, QVC, Martha Stewart Wine Co., Martha & Marley Spoon, and more. Our set-up crew works very hard to create these beautiful displays.
Here are some of my Martha Stewart Crafts supplies available at Michael’s. Do you have all you need to make your holiday crafts? http://www.michaels.com/crafts-and-hobbies/martha-stewart-crafts/938473843
Our wall also shows samples from our Martha Stewart Wine Co. http://marthastewartwine.com
Plus coffees and teas from the Martha Stewart Cafe. Be sure to check out my cafe’s web site for wonderful gift ideas. http://www.marthastewartcafe.com
Inside the tent, copies of my 89th book, “Slow Cooker” were available for purchase. https://www.amazon.com/Books-Martha-Stewart/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3AMartha%20Stewart
Here is a sample from my vanity collection at The Home Depot. I am so proud of our vanity and organizational drawer options. We have three premium bath series that include coordinated vanities and accessories in various sizes and styles. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Bath-Bathroom-Vanities/Martha-Stewart-Living/N-5yc1vZcfv3Z4tg
In the center of the Pavilion, we display a table dressed with pieces from my “Harvest” Collection exclusively at Macy’s. Above the table – a Macy’s gadget chandelier made with all my handy kitchen tools and supplies also at Macy’s. Local volunteers are on hand at every station to answer questions. https://www.macys.com/shop/kitchen/martha-stewart-kitchenware?id=30190
All around the tent are these giant banners showcasing more of my products. Here are some of my beautiful cake stands – also from my collection at Macy’s.
Here’s a display featuring items from my new QVC collections. I will be on @QVC sharing more of my new products on November 10th – I will post details on my Twitter page @MarthaStewart.
Visitors to our Martha Stewart Experience Pavillion also enjoyed making stenciled wooden plaques using Martha Stewart Crafts supplies from Michaels. http://www.michaels.com/crafts-and-hobbies/martha-stewart-crafts/938473843
Our volunteers had so much fun meeting with everyone who walked through the tent. These three were always ready to help our visiting crafters.
Guests lined up to make their stenciled wooden plaques – it was a big hit.
And this is our Martha & Marley Spoon display, which shows how our meal kit boxes are packaged, and what is included inside. https://martha.marleyspoon.com/
Volunteers answered questions about our delicious meal kits and helped visitors sign up for this wonderful meal kit service.
By early afternoon, visitors flocked to the culinary stage for the food demos.
Sarah made Creamy Broccoli-Spinach Dip, Pappardelle with Quick Fennel Ragu, and Pumpkin-Orange Bread.
She also answered a variety of interesting questions from the audience.
I’m never far away… guests loved this life-sized stand-up of me and Snoop. Have you been watching our new season of “Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party”? It airs Mondays at 10pm ET on VH1.
Many guests attended the event and visited the various vendor booths. It was an enjoyable time for anyone with a great appreciation for food.
The event lasted until this beautiful sunset. Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city, sits on the Ohio River – such a wonderful place to visit. I am looking very forward to seeing all of you at our next USA Network Food & Wine Experience in Phoenix this Saturday, November 4th!
