THE SOCIALITE

Don't forget to join the Sanity Fair vintage book give-away for the First Edition of Dorothy Rodgers' book, The House in My Head. Today and tomorrow are your last chance! Our dear Mrs. Rodgers was a socialite, wife of Rodgers - as in, "Rodgers and Hammerstein," a serious patron of the arts, and a decor diva. Never one to do anything half way, she was famously dubbed "La Perfecta" by friends, who sometimes pranked her by moving ash trays at parties. She was so exacting as a hostess, that she noticed (and fretted over) the slightest change in any of her arrangements.
The House In My Head is her personal account of building her dream home, from the blueprints up. Even better? She includes the recipes for which she was famous too!

The give-away for the special First Edition ends tomorrow. You can read full details and more about the book HERE. RULES:  Just enter by leaving a comment below.
