From the founder of a popular home and lifestyle retailer, a guide to hosting parties year-round, with ideas for food, décor and themes.

“I love it when I catch someone's reaction at my stores when they turn a corner and come upon something unexpected. Maybe it's something they didn't know they had to have until that moment, or it's the way we've displayed something that's a little out of the ordinary that they might be able to use in their decorating.” —Mary Carol Garrity
