@Susan: I know what you mean, I love Real Simple magazine, but sometimes, just sometimes, I feel like the content is “coming back around”. I know it must be so hard to always keep things new. And re Martha, she’s a piece of work. I’m just positive she’s not the nicest woman ever on a personal level, but, there’s part of me that so admires her flat-out tenacity, you know? And, you’re so right, the lady knows what works.

@Whitney: See? THIS is why I started Penelope Loves Lists. Because I just knew that there were other people out there who’d buy a pack of glitter simply bc it was so darn pretty! I love that.

I’m right there with you on the glitter! I was pining for the 24 pack of Essential Glitter Colors (who knew there were ESSENTIAL colors when it came to glitter!!??) when I discovered a coupon for 50% off one MS product at Michael’s in my Dec issue of MS. I am now the proud owner of 24 little vials of glitter. I haven’t even opened them yet. It brings me joy just to look at them (a tad embarrassing to admit)!

Hi there!

While I did love Martha, even before her prison time, I totally understand what you mean and love the change that’s come over her now.

I LOVE each of these ideas – especially the single pie servings and the little cookie houses. One thing I don’t like about the Martha Empire is, if you’ve been reading for years, you are bound to see many things come back again and again in her magazines. But I guess this happens with clothes and everything else, too, so it’s to be expected. That is the amazing thing about Martha, though. She knows what works, and what will continue to work. And she works it!!!

Oh wow, that piece-o-pie toter is darling. Might just have to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Your website is beautiful! Remember when we read the unauthorized Martha biography (like a thousand years ago..). Funny stuff…
