Celebrating the Deluxe Edition of "Martha's Flowers" at Baccarat
My book, “Martha’s Flowers: A Practical Guide to Growing, Gathering, and Enjoying” is now available in a beautiful deluxe hard cover edition - just in time for the holiday season!
I love this gorgeous edition, and to celebrate, Kevin Sharkey and I conducted a very special book signing at Baccarat’s flagship store in New York City - I hope you saw my Instagram post @MarthaStewart48 showing Baccarat's spectacular Madison Avenue storefront windows! The exclusive fine French crystal store was filled with stunning floral arrangements - many inspired by the book. More than 100 friends, colleagues, clients, customers and members of the media were in attendance - Kevin and I had a wonderful time signing copies and talking with the crowd. We also hosted a special Facebook LIVE for Baccarat featuring many roses as part of our new rose subscription partnership with BloomsyBox, which launches December 1st. I am so proud of “Martha’s Flowers”, and so thrilled with this deluxe edition. Divided by season, this book is filled with spectacular photographs and tips for planting, maintaining and arranging all your favorite flowers - I know it will make a wonderful gift this holiday!
Enjoy these photos.
