Thanks for the drabware

The Martha Stewart Catalog for Living is shutting down and selling all remaining stock. A lot of what was in it was sold at too high a mark-up. Sometimes Martha Stewart brought something back into popularity and then somebody closer to home could sell it at a cheaper price. For instance, the Container Store started stocking those old American Anchor glass screw-top storage jars. She also reissued old transfer-ware patterns, but I don't think that she was any more successful with it than Williams-Sonoma was a few years ago. She brought back the older, better-shaped drabware cups. I think that drabware had been out of production entirely for some years until Martha Stewart revived production. In practically no time at all since the announcement, nearly everything is sold out. Except, of course, for some of the transfer-ware.
