Hosted in the restaurant KO Prime, the first session of the event was attended by 200-250 people. In attendance were many ladies from the Boston Women's Network , a co-sponsor of the event. We couldn't believe how packed the place was!
We started out with free Chambord drinks (I had French Martinis) and were offered many of the plentiful hors d'ouevres. We checked out the table displays set up by hip hostess Jennifer Sbranti. The displays were just so cute, and so affordable... I love her website. The ideas are easy, inexpensive, and fun (what more could you want for a party?!) and the event was very nice.

Jennifer gave a nice talk about entertaining on a budget and included some really fantastic ideas. Her favorite shop is a scrapbooking shop, even though she does not scrapbook, just for the fun papers and ribbons that you can use as placemats, candle wraps, and lively decor. She was followed by Tim Laird, Chambord's Chief Cocktail Officer (yup, that is the real title). He did a nice demo on drink mixing. The camp crowd would have gone wild!!! He demonstrated opening a champagne bottle for Kir Royale and made a Boston Cream Pie drink...

We were each presented with a gift bag at the end of the event. It contained a little Chambord, a Chambord shot glass, nail polish, and a pocket-guide for Hostess with the Mostess.
