I was super excited when I heard Giada De Laurentis was coming to Houston and that she would be in one of my favorite stores, Williams-Sonoma, signing her latest cookbook. I took a few hours off work, drove to the location, only to find out the tickets were sold out. However, they did allow you to enter the store to shop and take pictures, from a distance, which I so gladly did. It was strange to see her in person, I always watch her show. She makes Italian and cooking in general so relaxed. Hopefully, next time she comes through, I will get my booked signed.
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
