The first section looks at the essential flatware, china, place cards napkins, flowers, and candles. The second section contains suggestions for a variety of different occasions, ranging from an impromptu weekday dinner with friends to the classic celebratory dinner. And the final section contains a useful visual dictionary of international place settings.* Hundreds of decorative, easy-to-achieve, and affordable ideas for anyone who enjoys entertaining.* Specially commissioned photography by Debi Treloar.*From the publisher of the bestselling Table Inspriations (ISBN 978-1-84597-823-5).

Great ideas and inspiring, however, to make this stuff work, you really do have to be an estate-sale junkie and just have tons of stuff around your house to pull in.
