My good friend Martha Stewart...

..has featured my blue and white paintings in her little magazine. Just sayin'.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUv4tAXVuM7QC2lYL2B3nDdla8sfwP5GYjI-LWWqP_apt4QfgDaZ2dL_15OcOHVSQXsjlT1AG3C0w3z0GVM0xLmANgECm2GHJJYVHwDfFJEiKQWMzjw0kdVmpMd8GZxQWfRNEpKpduQY/s1600/martha+ipad+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUv4tAXVuM7QC2lYL2B3nDdla8sfwP5GYjI-LWWqP_apt4QfgDaZ2dL_15OcOHVSQXsjlT1AG3C0w3z0GVM0xLmANgECm2GHJJYVHwDfFJEiKQWMzjw0kdVmpMd8GZxQWfRNEpKpduQY/s640/martha+ipad+copy.jpg" width="566" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">the iPad edition launched today, and it's sensational as always.

He said they loved my blue and white paintings, and would I be interested in sending some to New York for a feature in the magazine? Oh, and they had to be there in under four days. After I picked myself up off the floor, of course I said yes, and then spent the next few hours in a state of panic. Did I mention it was December? Or that the US had extra security in place for checking mail over the holidays? Anyway, I sent them on their way, and today I saw the end result. So thrilled. The editors used large-scale prints for the shoot, and I'm pleased to say they're now available in my <a href="http://driftwoodinteriors.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>:</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
