IKEA Holiday table setting and booksigning event

I had such a fun Saturday afternoon talking all things entertaining and cooking with a great crowd at IKEA Atlanta. Deidra Cunningham, my dear friend and marketing maven for IKEA, set the whole thing up for me. She had a vision for the event to show IKEA customers how to throw a great party, and a great party it was. Filled with enthusiasm, the crowd really challenged me with their smart questions and genuine interest in hosting friends and family at holiday gatherings and beyond!I did 3 table settings: Halloween, Christmas, and Game Day. It was super fun going over some of the easy DIYs featured in my cookbook using basic supplies from IKEA. Let's just say I have a bit of an addiction problem with their jar selection. I think I have the entire IKEA jar collection housed in my prop stash!! NO kidding.I use lots of IKEA products in photo shoots, and of course my cookbook Picture Perfect Parties is filled with IKEA essential basics. Perfect additions for your "Party Pantry", if you have not been to IKEA lately make sure to check it out before planning your party decor for the holiday season!Thank you to IKEA and my sweet Deidra for putting together a great event. To the IKEA team: great job, great day!You guys ROCK! xxthis is not a sponsored post
