I couldn't decide between the gorgeous cookies and the gorgeous cupcakes at Sarah T's Surf's Up Birthday Party, so I'm including both as our Dessert of the Week.  I think they are both clever and cute. Any preference?

Sterling Vineyards is launching its second annual search for the Sterling Vineyards Ultimate Host Contest.

Challenge 3 for the search for the Sterling Vineyards Ultimate Host is all about the music!

The goal here is to create the ultimate "party playlist." It can be a dance party soundtrack, a dinner party soundtrack, or a romantic soundtrack for an evening for two.  Just let the music guide you...

Last night in New York City, Padma Lakshmi and Sterling Vineyards hosted the final event of the Sterling Ultimate Host program, where four finalists from the hundreds of entrants, brought a blank space to life, showcasing  how they would host a party.

Long story short... My daughter loves piano, so my husband found a used keyboard on Craigslist. We picked it up in Manhattan Beach (about 40 minutes from our house) and there's a HomeGoods nearby. My husband, being the kind, generous, and patient man that he is, hung out with my four-year-old, while I got to shop.

It turns out that HomeGoods is owned by the same people as TJ Maxx, where I went a few weeks ago, so it was no surprise that they had many of the same items, but much much more. The store is heaven if you love parties, entertaining, and decorating. I felt infinitely creative just walking through the door.

What a wonderful summer it's been for us here at Catch My Party (although a little cold in Santa Monica).  We hope you've had a great one, too.

We look forward to a festive fall filled with many great parties, new features on the site, and lots of posts highlighting all your creativity.
