Anway Martha is seated at the foot of a tremendous Christmas tree selecting diaphanous ribbons to decorate the tree. There are instructions to create fabric covered boxes and the pages include indexed pages as to the table setting identified -- from private collection. All as the years go by I understand each photo is styled and creates a mood and the photos capture a moment created for the magazine someone does not live in the tremendous mansion on the Hudson River where the photo shoot was booked but it is a fantasy none the lessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-77783771981700679632010-08-02T21:49:04.896-05:002010-08-02T21:49:04.896-05:00Will, there was an alternate cover that was sent t...Will, there was an alternate cover that was sent to some regions of the U.S. It is blue with glass jars and the little bouquet of purple flowers, correct?

(And, yes, I have a mental library of the articles contained within each issue!) Generally, I love all the issues between the period of 1997 and 2003 the best (so far) but the magazine's new personality feels more 'now.'ANDREW RITCHIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07527048900781045398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-56641431267655101882010-08-02T09:45:53.389-05:002010-08-02T09:45:53.389-05:00Andrew, what are you top five?

My favorite Martha overall is Sept 1999, the special decorating issue! I love the photos of Turkey Hill and still go back to that article for inspiration. <br /><br />August 2007 is my favorite August cover. But, I'll have to pull them all out later and get back to you.<br /><br />-ReneeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
