It s Whoopi here and I ve written this book that, frankly, is the last book anyone would expect from me. Sure, you know me as an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony Award winner (that s an EGOT in case you weren t sure) and a producer and a writer (11 books) and a designer (ah, those crazy holiday sweaters) but you would never think of me as someone with the courage to say, You have everything you need to be fabulous in your own home and set a great table. Let s face it, you look at a lot of books on Entertaining and think to yourself I could never do this in my house, I don t have this stuff and it s not going to look like what I m seeing. That s not what s going to happen here! I want to show you there is great heart in setting the table. Setting it for two or four or the kids or Halloween or for tea just for you. For dinners with friends or for the holidays. I m going to tell you stories about what I do when people come over, and I m going to give you ideas about what you re seeing because Honey, everything in this book is what you can do in your house. You got a 7/11 near you? They sell flowers. Take those bad boys and put them on your table. You got some crazy, kind of cool-looking old plate from your grandmother (or maybe even a fancy silver one) and you don t know what to do with it? You got little kid s toys that have been annoying you forever, put them on the table too. Who s going to tell you it s wrong? Not me! I m going to tell you it s right and I m going to take you on a journey. And don t forget the bathroom; decorate it too, people are going to see it. It s all at your house. Come with me. I ll show you! P.S. I know the glass on the cover is broken. Accidents can happen at every great party!

"I love this book!! A warm, welcome, and much-needed look at how to infuse some exuberance and personality into your dinner table; Whoopi, with a lifetime of dinner parties behind her, shows us how to do it! She is a perfect magpie for things that make us smile, her collections and presentations cross all boundaries: a table strewn with rose petals, Depression glass, hand-painted bone china, Clarice Cliff, every item with a story behind it. The best part is, in her incomparable Whoopi way, she shows us, no matter what our circumstances, we can do it too."
--Bette Midler
