In this episode host Jeanne Benedict and Andrea (party host) create a feminine themed party complete with a hat box buffet and a clothes swap! The invitations are lavender filled sachets in the shape of purses with pearl handles. As a parting gift for the guests, Jeanne and Andrea decorate glass spray bottles with a reverse-etched design using the same girly shapes. To prepare for the party and the clothes swap Jeanne and Andrea flip-flop the layout of the room and provide a "stage area" for the clothes swap. Before the party, Jeanne and Andrea head to the kitchen to create home-made veggie chips and decorate feminine shaped cookies.
