{"product_id":"a-screaming-blast-exceptional-entertaining","title":"A Screaming Blast: Exceptional Entertaining","description":"\u003cp\u003eA swirl of elegantly offbeat parties and lush tablescapes, where ceramic snails creep under flower petals and chandelier girls covered in Swarovski crystals beckon guests to the dance floor: Gardner’s infectious irreverence shines in her glamorous approach to entertaining, where even the mundane is made delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book—like her parties—is a decadent feast for the eyes, with a foreword by Sofia Coppola and photography that captures the surprise and delight of Gardner’s hyperbolic entertaining style. From a brass band leading guests to dinner along the tracks of the Napa Valley Wine Train to a pink-poodle-themed holiday party with a bountiful buffet of retro desserts, the pages burst with entertainments, heavy pours, and flattering light as all the elements combine in a perfectly orchestrated yet seemingly effortless way that makes it impossible for guests not to have a screaming blast!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will be inspired by Gardner’s over-the-top parties and mischievous winks. In a nostalgic and personal tone, she opines on the role of a good host and a good guest, why every party needs a Pied Piper, and how to create wonder for guests. Each chapter features gorgeous parties that illustrate the joy found in entertaining, in a writing style that is accessible and funny, filled with memories of childhood parties, grown-up parties, and the desire to somehow merge the two. A chapter on the anatomy of a successful party and a list of resources present practical information. It’s not a how-to, but more a why-not.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53109842870589,"sku":"ynh1789809600001","price":30.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/5707\/9357\/files\/a-screaming-blast-exceptional-entertaining_1.jpg?v=1789809603","url":"https:\/\/curveseamfit.shop\/products\/a-screaming-blast-exceptional-entertaining","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
