On Monday night the Martha Stewart employees got together for our annual holiday party/employee craft sale. Our very talented employees gathered to sell their beautiful jewelry, pillows, ornaments, artwork, and more while we all enjoyed food, drink, and each other's company.
This year we also did a cookie swap during the party. Employees brought a dozen of their favorite cookies and swapped with their fellow employees, and the results were really delicious.
Below are some of the pieces that were for sale during the event and where you can buy some of the pieces.
