Update: Rob Kalin, Etsy's Founder, did a great job talking with Martha, though he didn't get a chance to say everything he wanted to say.  We hope to post a Storque follow-up with him soon. Watch the video on Martha's website.

We are very excited to announce that Etsy will be featured on The Martha Stewart Show on Friday, February 29th.

Rob and I spent the day at M.S. headquarters filming the segment, chatting with Martha and her staff, and generally spreading the gospel of Etsy. Best of all, the producer of the program selected a cornucopia of exquisite Etsy product that Rob got to show off on air.  Thanks to all who sent in product . Not everything could make it to the table this time, but we hope to do more with Martha in the future. Happily, items from the following Etsy sellers will be seen on air this Friday:  

GirlSavage.etsy.com, LuxeDeluxe.etsy.com, annacote.etsy.com, sweetestpea.etsy.com, charmdesign.etsy.com, littleputbooks.etsy.com, toybreaker.etsy.com, JanineKingDesigns.etsy.com ,  Boringsidney.etsy.com, RobandLean.etsy.com, LoveLeeSoaps.etsy.com, EveryJotandTittle.etsy.com, KathrynRiechert.etsy.com ,  ilee.etsy.com, EsDesigns.etsy.com, fringe.etsy.com, and yearofthegoat.etsy.com

Check here for local listings.

Show replays on Fine Living Network Monday, March 3 at 8pm and midnight Eastern Time.

Rob told us about his wardrobe. He'd stayed up past his bedtime with cubistliterature and desirapesta making a "hand"made shirt!

Rob and Matt said all Martha's producers are Etsy-obsessed!

Tune in to your local TV on Friday and hopefully the segment will be posted on Martha's website soon after for those of you who miss it!
