It's that time of year again when one's calendar is filled with holiday parties. If you're hosting a gathering, be sure to check out my collections for great decorating ideas.
This year, I am excited to share lots of holiday decorations at Amazon, Target, Macy's, Wayfair, Sam's Club, and of course our own Martha.com. I offer trees, garlands, ornaments, wreaths, and a lot of holiday themed candles, serving pieces, festive plates, tablecloths, and napkins. I also have cheerful and fun bedding for all your out-of-town guests. There's still time to get lots of products for your home this holiday season.
Here are some photos, enjoy.
Earlier this week, I shared images of my Champagne Collection on Martha.com. This collection has several coordinating pieces that look wonderful in any home – a champagne wreath, garland, ornaments and this shimmering tree.
For something more traditional, my Martha Stewart Globe Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree with energy efficient globe lights and memory wire branches is so life-like. It can be put up in minutes. It’s available from my collection on Amazon.
My Jeweled Snowflake Ornaments from Martha.com glisten so beautifully on the tree. These come in sets of six in both silver and gold and are bedazzled with bead and rhinestone details, so every angle is shimmering and reflective.
If you like pops of red color on your holiday tree, get my Martha Stewart Holiday Pointy Ball Ornament Set available at Target. These ornaments are made of glass and include loop strings for easy hanging.
And don’t forget the topper. This is my Jeweled Snowflake Tree Topper in silver. It also comes in gold. Measuring approximately 12-inches by 17-inches, the glamorous glisten of the jewels can be seen and admired on many sizes of trees, or part of a tabletop arrangement.
Everyone loves holiday lights. This is my Martha Stewart LED Beaded Swag Garland Silver Light Strand from Amazon. This string of lights has a timer and measures 36-inches long. It also includes six clear energy efficient LED lights that provide a bright and ambient glow.
But if you’re looking for classic, here’s my Faux Pine Cone & Ornament 13-inch Wreath. Glittering ornaments and frosted pine cones are paired to create a highly textural wreath with festive charm inside and out.
At Wayfair, find my Plaid Square Throw Pillow. Designed and crafted in 100-percent cotton, this reindeer pillow with print and embroidered details will delight all who visit.
My Flameless Candles have become so popular – I love them too. Here are my Flameless Tree Candles in green with white finishes. These candles also come in white with gold finishes. Both styles are available on Martha.com.
And here are my candles used as a centerpiece. The plastic flames flicker and shine with a realistic warmth and brightness, and is easily operated with a remote, also included. Also on the table is my Hillington 12-Piece Dinnerware Set. It is comprised of four 10.8-inch dinner plates, four 9-inch dessert plates, and four 6.5-inch cereal bowls, each made from fine ceramic with a high-gloss finish. For flatware, check out my Brescia Set. Everything is on Martha.com.
My Holiday Collection at Macy’s always includes lots of decorative pieces in fun colors and styles. Choose from dinnerware, serving accessories, and table linens in red and green and gold-tone accents.
Also exclusively at Macy’s, my Dear Santa Holiday Kitchen Essentials. These fun and functional serving dishes can hold various treats or be given as gifts.
It’s all in the details. At Martha.com, I offer everything you need for your holiday table including these Candy Cane Place Cards. They come in sets of 12 and each one measures 4.4-inches by 9.8-inches.
And here is my Martha Stewart LED 30-inch Shooting Star available at Martha.com. I love these shooting stars and hang one on every building at my farm during the holidays. This one is on the side of my Carriage House and can be seen from across the pastures. It looks wonderful inside or out. One can never have too many decorations – please take a look at all my holiday collections this weekend – there’s something for everyone.
During the busy holiday season it's nice to know one can depend on Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon to provide delicious, nutritious, and time-saving meal-kits.
Here at my Bedford, New York farm, we test many of the recipes we offer in our delivery meal-kit service to ensure we're sharing the best ones with all of you. Last week, my housekeeper Elvira Rojas prepared another great dish - Creamy Swedish Meatballs with Egg Noodles & Cranberry Relish. It was a perfect lunch, and just as promised, all the ingredients were delivered fresh and pre-portioned, ready to cook. Plus, like all our meals, it was done in 40-minutes or less. Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon features so many inspiring recipes and cooking ideas, and you can customize the menu and choose the recipes that best fit your tastes. Please go to the website for more information on how you can subscribe today! It also makes a wonderful gift for those busy loved ones on your list!
Enjoy these photos.
Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon delivers everything fresh, pre-portioned, and well-labeled. The first thing we do is take out all the ingredients, place them on the counter where everything is easy to see, and check what we have and what we may need. This recipe also calls for salt, pepper, sugar, all-purpose flour, olive oil, two eggs, and butter.
Each box contains a large recipe card that shows a photo of the finished dish on one side…
… And each of the six main steps on the other, with more photos to help show each stage of the process. What’s also great – these recipe cards can be collected and saved for future use.
To start, Elvira halves and finely chops a half-cup onion, which is provided in the meal-kit.
In a medium bowl, she then combines the pre-portioned and packaged cranberries with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, 2/3 cup water, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
In another bowl, Elvira whisks together the broth concentrate, mascarpone, water, and flour.
Next, over medium-high heat Elvira cooks half the chopped onions with oil in a skillet. It takes just a couple of minutes to cook them until softened.
She adds the cranberry mixture and cooks until the mixture is thick and jammy. She also mashes the cranberries with a fork.
While the cranberries simmer for about five to seven minutes, Elvira combines the panko, remaining onions, and two large eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper.
She adds the beef to the bowl and gently kneads the ingredients to combine and then forms about 16 meatballs.
She places the meatballs into the skillet and cooks over medium-high heat.
Elvira turns each one once or twice until browned, but not cooked through. This takes about six to eight minutes.
She removes the skillet from the heat, spoons out any fat, and then returns the skillet to the stove and pours the mascarpone mixture over the meatballs and brings it all to a simmer.
Meanwhile, Elvira roughly chops up the dill – also included in the kit.
Here are the meatballs simmering nicely in the skillet. Elvira bastes them with a spoon until the saice is reduced and the meatballs are cooked through.
The noodles are cooked in boiling water until tender.
Next, Elvira adds the peas and cooks them with the noodles.
Then both the noodles and the peas are well drained.
She returns the noodles and peas to the pot and cooks them with 1/4-cup butter and 1/2 of the chopped dill for about five minutes.
Finally, the noodles are spooned into a plate and then topped with four meatballs.
The meatballs are garnished with a sprinkling of the remaining dill and served with some pf the cranberry relish. So easy to make and looks exactly like the photo. It was delicious and just the right amount – each serving is enough to fill the hungriest of eaters. Please go to the web site to learn how you can order your Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal-kits. They really make deciding what’s for lunch or dinner so easy!
It's December - and it's looking a lot like Christmas, especially at The Bedford by Martha Stewart, my new restaurant at the Paris Las Vegas.
If you've traveled to the Las Vegas area over the last few months, I hope you've stopped in for dinner. The 194-seat dining destination was inspired by my own 1925 farmhouse in Westchester, New York. The Bedford opened in August and I am so pleased with how it is doing. We've received many wonderful responses to the menu and the décor. Recently, we replaced our autumn harvest decorations with many holiday pieces from my own Collections available at Martha.com - my Champagne Trees, Garlands and Wreaths, my Nativity Set, my glistening Gold, Silver, and Jeweled ornaments, and so much more.
Here are some photos. I hope they inspire your own holiday decorating, enjoy.
This year, it’s been so much fun to decorate the restaurant using products from my Holiday Collections at Martha.com. Our team filled the rooms with so many beautiful trees, garlands, and ornaments. At the entrance, we hung festive Snowflake Ornaments in both large and small sizes and Jeweled Icicle Ornaments from my name.
Guests are greeted with shimmering wreaths of champagne gold adorned with big white satin ribbons. My LED Pre-Lit Champagne Tinsel Wreath is 30-inches wide with individual sprigs of greenery intertwined with gold tinsel and lights.
Nearby is my Pre-Lit Champagne Tinsel Tree. It’s available in three sizes – 5-feet, 6.5-feet, and 7.5-feet. We propped this one up on a table for all to see.
This is my Nativity Set – now in an elegant ceramic gold. It is comprised of 14-figurines, including three camels, two shepherds, two oxen, three wisemen, an in-keeper, Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus in a manger.
Around this monitor, we filled the glass wall with large 12-inch Round Petaled and Stellar Snowflakes. They make wonderful decorations – not just on a tree, but all around the home.
More snowflakes hang on the wall – feel free to use the architecture of a room to help provide new and creative decorating opportunities.
Beneath another mantel, we hung shiny Jeweled Icicle Ornaments along with my Champagne Garland. The Jeweled Icicles come in sets of 10 in a choice of gold or silver. On top of the mantel, my Flameless Tree Candles – shaped like full beautiful pine trees.
More wreaths and flocked trees decorate the tops of these cabinets. Don’t forget to consider higher surfaces to add your décor.
On this china cabinet, we hung my Jeweled Wreath Ornaments from the glass windows. These come in sets of six in both gold and silver.
We hung more ornaments from the sconces at The Bedford – light and shiny, these ornaments are simple yet stunning and can be hung from so many places.
Atop this flocked tree is my Jeweled Snowflake Tree Topper, which comes in gold or silver. Below are more of my Flameless Tree Candles with gold finishes. These candles also come in green. We put this tree in one of my Faux Bois Planters also available at Martha.com. These planters come in 9-inch, 14-inch and 19-inch sizes with raised feet and a drainage hole. Utilize items you already have at home and embellish them with holiday décor.
One can also top a tree using one of my 12-inch Round Petaled Snowflakes. When decorating, consider using consistent themed color palettes. At The Bedford this year, we used all gold, Champagne, and silver.
Christmas is just 24-days away, but there’s still time to order your decorations, so be sure to check out my Collections at Martha.com. I know you’ll love every one of them. And remember, if you’re in the Las Vegas area, make reservations at The Bedford by Martha Stewart. We’ll be offering special holiday menus for you and your family to enjoy over Christmas and New Year’s Eve!
