From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
I finally, really believe that spring is just around the corner as the air and the ground are warming up in my part of the world. But for those of you that may have to wait just a bit longer, you can enjoy the green that comes with celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Have an Entertaining week!

Quick Tips to Add Pizazz to Your Table Top
It's often the little things that work together to make the biggest impression when we entertain. From presenting the meal in a more attractive way, to how we arrange our buffet, there are a lot of subtle things anyone can do to make a party extra special. This collection of tips will give your many ideas for adding pizazz to your table top and most of them use items you already have around your home.

Have You Ever Had Your Party Hijacked?
This week I was able to catch the latest party on TLC's "Outrageous Parties." What I discovered was a load of melodrama between the party mom and her stepmother. It made me wonder how many readers have had to deal with equally meddling family or friends at their parties. If you've had one of your parties "hijacked" I invite you to share your story and how you handled it with us.

Enjoying St. Patrick's Day, Even if You're Not Irish
There isn't a shamrock's worth of Irish blood in my family. We're 100% purebred Italian. But for one day each year, St. Patrick's Day, our blood runs green.

Flower Centerpiece Inspiration from the Flower Show
Yesterday I visited the 2011 Philadelphia International Flower Show. It was a lovely taste of spring and this year's theme, "Springtime in Paris", was especially beautiful and creative. As I worked my way through the show I looked for inspiration for flower centerpieces and table top decorations to share with you. That's why today I've put together a gallery of my favorite Flower Centerpiece and Table Decoration Ideas from the show.
