Is this Heaven?

Martha Stewart Living prop library, June 2005

When I saw these photos and the accompanying article in Martha Stewart Living June 2005, I audibly gasped. What is this place, where dishes are stacked and organized by color and styles; silver is all cataloged and kept in a giant cabinets; and a variety of tablewares hang on walls or rest on tables. Each waits for its star turn on some glossy photospread in the pages of MSL. Sigh. What joy, what bliss.

And the people who work there? Can you imagine how very lucky they are?

My dream job (something I'd be very good at): chief shopper for the MSL prop room.
