Get Thee to a Borders

I saw this at Borders today. I think we all need a subscription! Has any one read it?


I found this book at the library. You will all want a copy of this, too.:) Nell Hill's Entertaining in Style. This lovely book has glorious pictures, themed party ideas (Mardi Gras, Summer Evening, After Shopping Chocolate Buffet, etc.) complete with menus...
Simple, yet elegant...
A tiny present in a nest, under glass...

Sparkling Christmas...

 Here's that Chocolate Buffet I was talking about...:)

It's to be enjoyed after Christmas shopping with friends. Love. This.

And Halloween! A papier mache pumpkin full of treats!

Look at the Kids' Table...

This is the grown-ups table...

 How about a Summer Evening Dinner under the Stars...

This toile "tablecloth" is actually a duvet cover! I seem to remember some lovely ones at T.J. Maxx that would work perfectly.

Tomatoes in an urn. Perfect for summer!

Dreamy...

What a fun way to display tea cups! I looooove this...

Mary Carol Garrity is the author/decorator and has stores in Kansas. Who is up for a field trip?
