I must say that it felt like a party when I opened the box that included this wonderful book.  Not only was the bejeweled box amazingly beautiful, the package included a journal with a lovely cover laden with beautiful artwork. 

The pages throughout this book are absolutely beautiful.  As a creator of embroidered linens, the tablescapes were especially spectacular to pore over.  The pages are filled with small to massive floral, vegetable, and fruit arrangements, alongside unique hand painted invitations and place cards. 

Cathy is a party planner, and this book is full of tips on entertaining, and she shares her tips on floral arranging and party and dinner planning. Her signature "still life" arrangements of bottles complete with an individual bloom are lovely.

The link to purchase this book is at the end of this post.  ENJOY!
