Party on, Maria


Almost forgot to post this: I had a terrific interview with Wilmington native and super party hostess Maria McBride. Here's the story.

McBride, who now lives in New York City, is the author of the new book "Party Basics for New Nesters" (Collins, 2008). It's a great book to flip through and is filled with beautiful photos.

Lots of suggestions to steal: I love her idea of creating mini-aquariums to decorate tables at a summer party. It evokes a seashore feeling even in a suburban backyard. Maria also suggests serving all kinds of vintage style sodas in glass soda bottles with straws.

What the **** is a nester?!. FOr gods sake people speak like you have a brain. I suppose it stands for old people who pushed the kids out and now act like sluts from sex and the city.
