Where to watch the full clip of Martha Stewart encasing a turkey in puff pastry
Stay in Cape Cod, put up felt Christmas decorations, buy a basket made out of pinecones & read Peter Baker !!
I don’t care for ornaments. To my husband’s horror, I tinselled the tree last year. What I truly love are Christmas decorations. I especially like re-usable garlands that stand the test of time.
Audrey Gelman’s little shop has a great selection. Check out the mistletoe wreath and garland, Santa felt pennant banner, and the felt dove mistletoe wreath. My favourite is the Snow White felt holly berry wreath and matching garland… I prefer white Christmas decorations, like this personalised lace stocking from Gohar World, though I haven’t bought it myself. (I bought the lace fruit covers. I hate fruit flies!)
This intrepid Etsy seller sells beautiful Christmas wreaths. Custom bow requests encouraged! Ships from Maine. A rather marvellous number of 5-star reviews.
Visit the James Rose Center for landscape architectural research and design in 2025.
This summer, stay in an architecturally significant house on Cape Cod. They book up fast! I once jumped the line by pretending to be a Vogue writer. (I am technically a woman who has written for Vogue.)
I like “Fashioned by Gregory” traditional hostess shirts, best tucked in, and pulled back out, floppy style: In lace ($40) or linen ($25). (Does that make sense?)
For Party Girls, try this wonderfully branded “Diet Coke top” from Emily Dawn Long.
If you have a grumpy and/or cool teen, why not give them their first piece of art? Start with Aurel Schmidt’s What Type of Goth are You? poster. If you ask nicely on instagram, she can also do custom drawings of your pets or boyfriends for Christmas… Pair with the book (NYT piece here).
I want this Giorgio merch. God I miss the 1980’s. “When people went shopping in double limousines (one for the family, one for its purchases).” I bought the Giorgio-branded fake Hermes-style watch for $20 on Ebay recently. It broke immediately!
I loved that the opening credits to the Martha Stewart—Barnard graduate—doc mention a segment she made about a Thanksgiving turkey encased in puff pastry.
