Shoot, I just saw that thread this morning. I would have loved to join in, but probably can't get the book in time now. Maybe next time.

dreamgoddess, go ahead and get the book, I think that you will be able to catch up, I don't think we will be going that fast, I will be giving time for each assignment, so I would thing a few days or so for each assignment (trying to give everyone enough time) and we will have discussions, so you will still be able to join in.

I got mine... with shipping it came to 17.99 total...

I was looking at it on the porch and showed it to a friend who stopped in. She said although the Tgiving table was beau., it made her feel claustrophobic! LOL

I'm happy to see you all checking in.

jaybird, pdg777 and others that are late starters, don't worry about being a late starter, the "class" can go on for a good while, just post to the particular "exercise" when you get the book and I'll go thru it when you can post.

Betty, LOL, I know what you mean, Ms. Garrity is doing another Christmas book, not out till next year, and since that is my fav holiday, I will be suffering before I get it LOL

Kathleen, poor thing, well different strokes for different folks, but have no fear, hopefully those that take the class will get the basics of learning how to "see" the designs and can incorporate the the lessons learned to make vignettes, tablesetting in ways that please them. And that is what this is all about, doing designs that please you.

So does this book have a good amt. of vignettes too? Honestly the only reason I didn't buy the book and was going to try and just observe was because I don't really want to get into tablesetting. Trying to stay away from the buying of dishes.

However, for the few occasions I may host something...

my first holiday meal hosting ever will be this Thanksgiving. I plan on using my island like a buffet. Would be nice to know how to decorate it up.

Sheesharee, no, this particular book doesn't do vignettes over all, except for a odd one here and there, which I will go over if people want me to, otherwise it is 98% tablesettings.

Although, some of the principals of vignettes is the same as the tablesettings (for example the table centerpiece). So you could in essence still follow along.

Perhaps you can borrow the book from the library (no cost there), that way you can still learn some things that will also apply to what you are interested in.

Here are a few books that offers more vignettes (click on link below.)

Specifically, I would say there is a good amount of vignettes in the following books:

Christmas at Home
Style at Home
Decorating Secrets (lots of vignettes)
Feather Your Nest
