If you’re going to go to the trouble, effort, sweat, money, tears (eggshells in your quiche? crackers stale?) of having a dinner party, why NOT make it memorable and stylish? Whatever beauty means to you, the books on my Art of the Dinner Party list can help you curate and host a dinner party that won’t suck, and in fact will probably be the best thing your friends or family have been to in a while. I’m still trying to get my hands on a copy of David Stark’s new book, The Art of the Party, for a giveaway…
Check out all my recommended dinner party books HERE on Riffle.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of You are Awesome: 21 Crafts to Make You Happy, by Abby Hendrickson, the freelance artist/crafter behind Aesthetic Outburst blog. I’m so excited to offer it up as a giveaway! This is a darling, 80 page book brimming with 21 crafty projects, including instructions and templates. Just look at how pretty it is!
Projects range from a cross-stitched screendoor to a laptop toy made from a cardboard box. Everything is deceptively simple to make, but has a contemporary freshness that will appeal to anybody. There is nothing more rewarding than making things yourself. Things to live with and things to give to people you love!
If you want to get your hands on Abby’s awesome book and start feeling…well, awesome, visit my BOOK GIVEAWAYSpage to enter! Giveaway runs from May 9-May 17.
