Artist, collector, and entertaining guru Cathy Graham
shares her secrets for gracious living and memorable get-togethers in
Second Bloom. Graham covers the essential elements that make every event
shine—flowers, paper components, table setting, and food
presentation. Quentin Bacon’s photographs of a seaside gathering, a
casual cocktail party, or a lively dinner in honor of a friend show how
to achieve winning possibilities with ease. Approaching life with a
sense of whimsy, Graham demonstrates how to arrange flowers and create
original touches, such as hand-drawn one-of-a-kind invitations or her
practice of scattering collectable miniatures on her dinner tables.
Filled with Graham’s charming sketches, Second Bloom shows how to
create truly special occasions.
