Martha Stewart to be honored in Carolina
| Saturday - Oct 01, 2005 |
Televisionpoint.com Team Martha Stewart, free from house arrest and with a little break from her two new TV series, is expected in town next month for a reception in her honor at the International Home Furnishings Market, reports say.
Bernhardt Furniture, the Lenoir-based manufacturer of Stewart's furniture collection, will hold the invitation-only party Oct. 19.
Stewart was convicted of lying to authorities about a stock deal. She served five months behind bars in West Virginia and nearly six more months in home confinement. She has been free of her electronic ankle bracelet since Sept. 1, and has launched "Martha," a syndicated daytime show, and a prime-time NBC reality show, "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart."
The 64-year-old domestic diva will also take time during her visit to High Point to promote additions to her furniture line. Bernhardt launched the Martha Stewart Signature collection in fall 2002, about the same time her legal troubles started.
During the past three years at the market, Stewart has held mostly private meetings with furniture manufacturers and retailers, except for a public appearance in 2003. |
