Renowned and beloved interior designer and tastemaker Charlotte Moss celebrates gracious hospitality—from assembling striking place settings and arranging the table to hosting a dinner party or simply serving an elegant afternoon tea. Charlotte Moss inspires readers to imbue everyday life with elegance and romance. Moss focuses on events—as small as breakfast in bed or tea in the afternoon or as elaborate as a festive Christmas luncheon or large dinner party—and the artifacts of our lives (china, silver, linen) to create the backdrop for a life well lived. Moss celebrates the day-to-day by bringing her enthusiasm and impeccable style to every domestic activity. Setting the table becomes a joy when putting together stylish combinations of place mats, monogrammed linens, china, tableware, curios, and flowers. From tasteful meals for one to grand occasions for friends and family, Moss chronicles her own aptitude for hospitality. Style icons are conjured for their entertaining savvy: Pauline de Rothschild for her pioneering tabletop decoration, Marjorie Merriweather Post for her organizational precision, Lesley Blanch for her introduction of exotic delights to the table, and Elsie de Wolfe for her always-right recipes. Butlers’ pantries are explored. Linen closets are catalogued. Flowers are collected from the garden and artfully arranged for a memorable meal. Moss invites you into her world to discover how to make everyday an occasion. Review: Quintessential Charlotte Moss! - Beautiful photos. Flowers, table settings, recipes.

Another one of Moss's great design books
As the first review, I would like to recommend this wonderful entertainment book by Charlotte Moss. She has written many design books and they all contain beautiful pictorials with great information, no exception on this book. One thing to remember when buying this book, it is not a cookbook. Charlotte Moss is a designer, not a chef. With summer coming, I recommend a perfect companion, "Dinner on the Grounds", which is filled with recipes and ideas for outdoor dining. Entertains, Celebrations...glad I purchased it.

Beautiful Tablescapes and Party Settings!!!
This is a beautiful book filled with lovely ideas! I have a feeling Ms. Moss has a large staff to help her, so I am not sure how many of these settings I would be able to replicate or even come close to replicating...

For those who love colorful tablescapes!
Love this beautiful book and the ideas for combining floral arrangements with dishes and table linens. As for rating it, the menu ideas were a nice touch but recipes would have been a great addition for those who enjoy cooking as well as decorating. Photos of guests could have been eliminated as it does nothing for the reader. Resource page should provide the item and page number for the company listed as do most magazines, but, overall, I will enjoy this book and would give it as a gift.

Inspiring
Have just spent several hours in the shade of the trees in my garden enjoying every word and picture in this sumptuous volume. Fair enough - there is not a lot to read and you won’t learn anything new but the pictures and stories are quite captivating and certainly inspiring. Highly recommended.
