Portrait of a Maine Island

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Books

Many top drawer people in the Northeast spend summers in Maine's preppy enclaves. Photographer Sarah C. Butler's new book Portrait of a Maine Island is a love letter to one such locale, Northeast Harbor.

In this never-before-seen collection, Butler showcases her extraordinary art portraits of Northeast Harbor's local inhabitants, architecture and stunning land and seascape, as viewed from properties like this 2006 Estate of the Day.

60 people and places are brought to life through original photographs that "convey and identify what it is that makes Maine culture so distinctive." Martha Stewart, who has an estate on nearby Mount Desert Island, often uses it as inspiration.

Butler doesn't just focus on the well-heeled summer residents however. A post-mistress, mechanic, carpenter, lobsterman, librarian and artists are all included, as well as a visual journey through the area's coves and rocky necks.

This era of email and texting is a tough time for the stationery business but those who seek a more elegant form of communication have a big name on their side, Martha Stewart. The Berkshire Eagle reports that just one week after Crane & Co. announced layoffs in its stationery division, it has forged a partnership with Martha Stewart Omnimedia. The new Martha Stewart Stationery Weddings Collection will be released this spring. The line will be sold through Crane stationers, online and through select retailers. It's a bit of a return to her roots for Stewart who was once featured in a Crane stationery advertising campaign during her modeling career and also perhaps a sign that Stewart is looking to steer her brand back into a more refined direction.

Is Martha Stewart Working On A Luxury Magazine?

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Donald Trump has one, now Martha Stewart is supposedly working on a big glossy luxury magazine. Advertising Age reports that Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia may be working on a oversized luxury title. While the magazine industry in general remains in a state of change, heavy and huge luxury titles with big glossy ads remain attractive because they offer advertisers a way to find the luxury consumer. In these cases the income of each reader is more of a lure than how many readers the magazine attracts. It also gives the advertiser ample space to showcase their products in a magazine that is meant to be more for looking than for reading. Trump's title has a 12-inch-by-10-inch cover and it is rumored that Martha's luxury magazine would be an oversized title like W or Cigar Aficionado.

Martha Stewart's Farmhouse for Sale

Filed under: Estates

Martha Stewart has put her colonial-style farmhouse estate, Turkey Hill Farm, in Westport, Connecticut on the market. The beautiful home is just over 3,100-sq. feet and is situated on 4 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds (would you expect anything less from Martha Stewart?). The property also features a large barn and a greenhouse. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath house was originally built in 1805. It was maintained in excellent condition and features central air, a full walk-out basement and a heated pool. The asking price is $8,995,000.

More pictures after the jump, though there are none from the interior of the house - surprising, given that Martha is an amazing decorator.

Martha Stewart To Invade Macy's

Martha Stewart seems to be gradually repositioning herself toward the masstige market. Sure, she's still got the Kmart deal but now it has been announced that she will be designing upscale merchandise for the Macy's and Bloomingdale's chains. The Martha Stewart Collection will be in stores across the country starting in the fall of 2007 and like her Kmart line it will include home items like bed sheets, dishes, cookware, holiday decorations and garden furniture. The new line isn't a direct competitor for the Kmart line because it will be more expensive and aimed at a more affluent audience. Perfect for outfitting her new line of homes.
