An entertaining story

Presents style icon India Hicks's own slightly madcap spin on entertaining. Organized by meal, each celebration includes clever advice and inspiration for place settings, homemade flower arrangements, table design, and more, making use of what is on hand, whether it's beach towels thrown down a long table, children's candy piled in cups on a tray, or massing palm fronds collected from the lawn. Beautifully photographed and embellished here and there with a bit of Hicks family lore, the book is rounded out with a sprinkling of recipes. -- adapted from inside front jacket flap.
