THE OCCASIONAL AFFAIR: A PRACTICAL PLAN FOR LIFE’S EVERYDAY PARTIES
Book ID/图书代码： 11516013B59863
English Summary/英文概要： When I was a child, my mother never put the emphasis on gifts – partly because we didn’t have a lot of money for them – but instead, she instilled in me the value of time spent together through celebrating. I can’t tell you what present I got for Christmas when I was five, but I can describe in great detail the handmade cookies we made for Santa. I can vividly recall the family picnics, the Thanksgiving day talent shows and the birthday parties my parents gave us on a shoestring budget – always with the most creative décor and games. My childhood was filled with celebrations and occasions that taught me the importance to being with friends and family.If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that entertaining doesn’t need to be a difficult or daunting process. Throwing an unforgettable party doesn’t require a ton of time or money; it just requires a little thought, creativity, and heart. The Occasional Affair gives readers the menus, timelines, shopping lists, planning aids, resources and encouragement they need to feel inspired and confident about throwing their own extraordinary gatherings.
I wrote The Occasional Affair for the woman who feels intimidated and apprehensive about throwing a party. Perhaps she doesn’t feel she has the money, style or resources to entertain – or maybe she is juggling myriad responsibilities and feels she doesn’t have the time to make the effort. The Occasional Affair features more than a dozen exquisitely photographed parties that celebrate some of our most cherished holidays as well as unique and unexpected parties that can be the inspiration for birthdays, anniversaries – or just because. Approachable and realistic, The Occasional Affair includes all the details and resources to help readers plan, prepare and pull off beautiful, intimate gatherings – all on a mainstream budget.
The Occasional Affair is my contribution to helping women around the globe delight in entertaining friends and family with comfort and ease. It starts with the premise that anyone can throw a successful gathering if you know the essential foundational elements.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在我还是个小孩的时候，我妈妈从来不注重礼物——也许也是因为我们根本就没有那么多钱买礼物——但是相反，她时常给我灌输花时间在一起庆祝的价值。我不能告诉你我五岁时候的圣诞节得到什么礼物，但我可以清晰地描绘我们为圣诞老人做的手工曲奇。我可以生动地回忆起家庭野炊，感恩节的天才秀和我的父母给我的仅用小金额预算带给我的生日派对——总是伴有最具创新的饰物和游戏。我的童年充溢着庆典和惊喜，这告诉我和朋友及家人待在一起的重要性。
如果有一件事我明白了，那就是款待并不需要一个困难或艰巨的过程。举办一个难忘的聚会不需要大量的时间和金钱，它只是需要一些思考，创造力和心。偶尔的事情给读者菜单、时间轴、购物清单、计划、资源和给他们会举办非凡的聚会的信心。
我写了《小小惊喜》为那些感到害怕，担心办聚会的女人。也许她不觉得她有金钱，风格或资源来招待——或者也许她是躲避责任或感觉她没有时间去努力。《小小惊喜》突出超过一打的精美我们庆祝最珍贵假期派对的拍摄以及独特的和意想不到的可以启发生日宴会的聚会、或者只是为了纪念的纪念日。平易近人和现实的，《小小惊喜》包括所有的细节和资源来帮助读者计划、准备和完成美丽的、亲密的聚会——所有在一个主流的安排。
《小小惊喜》是我为帮助全球各地喜欢招待朋友和家庭的妇女举办舒适和安逸聚会所作的贡献。如果你知道必不可少的基本元素，任何人都可以办一个成功的聚会。（LNL）
