Occasions
by Kate Spade

In Occasions, designer Kate Spade invites you into her world of easy, festive entertaining, where the emphasis is not on "the perfect meal" but on having "the perfect time."

Any occasion begins with preparation, and so the book begins with such basic components as lighting (votive candles are a must), table linens, flatware, and glassware, flowers (trimmed short and tightly massed), and even bedding for overnight or weekend guests. It then proceeds to party shopping lists, hors d'oeuvres and cocktail favorites, and dinner party menus, with an amusingly anecdotal but very useful "Alphabet of Special Events," from baby showers to tailgate picnics. Occasions, with more than 230 charming watercolor illustrations, is a handy and fresh approach to the subject of entertaining for would-be hostesses everywhere.

Hardcover, illustrated throughout with watercolor images, 111 pages, $20.00
