The Martha Stewart Living Party- Closer look.

August 11, 2010 Shannon Schmid 19 Comments

Okay, so I got a few requests for a closer look at the Martha Stewart Blogger’s Night Out Party. I took a LOT of pictures at Blogher, but I promise I will not be assaulting you all with the whole album!

However, since a few of you seemed particularly interested in this blogger function- I thought I’d give you a sneek peak.

My BlogHer roomie Danielle (and cousin!) and I- before frantically trying to get a cab to the party!

We walked through The Martha Stewart Living Offices to get to the party- white and crisp and clean! As you would expect!

I loved meeting Darcy Miller, Senior Vice President and Weddings Editorial  Director for Martha Stewart Living

There were some beautiful displays…

Me in front of the Martha Stewart Omnimedia logo- carrying way too much swag 🙂

This is the only picture of the bunch I didn’t take- but I didn’t get a pic of Martha. And how can I do a party post- without her?

The mini cupcakes were to die for.  Really.

Senior Vice President and Executive Creative Director for Martha Stewart Living Omninedia- Kevin Sharky. He was a doll.  I told him how much I enjoyed the series on his apartment. And he signed the current magazine for me, that features him on the cover.

A strange but yummy drink that featured basil vodka and wine. And didn’t taste at all alcoholic. Dangerous:)

As we left we were handed bags with lots of wonderful goodies and magazines in them. I can guarantee you I will be searching through them to find the recipe to that basil drink!

The party was a  wonderful night of meeting some new bloggers, and some wonderfully imaginative people. I was really honored to be invited, and it definitely got my creative juices flowing! Perhaps I’ll be posting soon on some of the fun craft and recipe ideas I learned there:)

For other parts of BlogHer 2010 that I’ve covered try the VLOG about my first night at the Pod Hotel and the BlogHer parties!

It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just we It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just went bowling for the first time in my life! 🎳

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
