Sophistication Is Overrated by Babs Horner and Susan Palma

My #1 pick for a Mother's Day gift is the new entertaining guide by sisters Susan Palma and Babs Horner, Sophistication is Overrated.  The book is available now for pre-order, and will be in and ready to ship in a matter of days --so exciting!

 I haven't yet met Babs, but Susan is a friend, and the incredibly talented Dallas interior designer who's created many gorgeous rooms including the bedroom below that I've shared here too many times to count. I've already seen a copy and was delighted, highly amused, inspired, educated, touched, captivated, and entertained. My very high expectations were far exceeded. In addition to the spectacular content, I'll be quite happy to display this beautiful book (Quadrille grasscloth and blue Chinese fret!).  Read the information below from the press kit which provides a great description of this very special book.

The content below is very informative, but more importantly, it's lots of fun : )

While Sophistication is Overrated is about entertaining, it's also very much about family. Babs and Susan dedicated the book  to their parents, and share many happy family memories. That's one of the reasons it's my top recommendation for a Mother's Day gift. Of course, it also makes a perfect wedding, hostess, or birthday gift.  

I'm not the only one here in Dallas who's excited about this book launch.  There are private book signing parties scheduled every single day for an entire week here.  Neiman Marcus volunteered to host a private event at their flagship (downtown Dallas) location, and is also hosting a public book signing event at their NorthPark location.  If you're in the Dallas Fort Worth area, don't miss this opportunity to meet these amazing, talented and hugely fun sisters!
