I'm so excited to share this wonderful news with you today! The official launch party for my book Decorate will be at Liberty in London on Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I am thrilled to have such a gorgeous store so generously supporting me and my first book but equally happy to be able to invite you to this special event so we can meet and share a fun evening together. I do hope that you can attend! It will also be a great networking event as I have some lovely friends who will be there, including book photographer Debi Treloar, fellow bloggers, stylists, designers... even a few of the homeowners who are in Decorate will be celebrating with us. There will be a fun styling demo as well that I'll be doing with my two dear friends, Sania Pell and Leslie Shewring.

Liberty will have copies of the book available for sale that I will sign and they'll be a few special things happening that evening. First, from 4-4:30 p.m. I'll be speaking about the book and answering questions at an exclusive press event. Space for that is limited and you need to be a member of the press or a blogger to attend.

Next, at 6 p.m., I'll be speaking again to Liberty customers and those interested in learning more about the inspiration behind Decorate.

At 7 p.m. I've invited two book contributors to do a styling demonstration along with me in the brand new Liberty Dining Room, stylist Sania Pell (whose home is inside of the book) and stylist, photographer and decor8 columnist, Leslie Shewring (her daughter's bedroom is in the book too). Together we'll show you how to lay a lovely table with a personal touch using beautiful things that we've collected from the inspiring Liberty store. I'll also do a book signing so you may purchase your book there. I can't wait to mingle but please do arrive on time as these events can fly by and I want to be able to meet each of you and have enough time to chat. Come prepared to be inspired and have fun!
