Derby Day Recap

Saturday was Mr. Potts & my Derby Day Bar Crawl & what fun we had!

We kicked everything off at our house with the Oaks Lily (see previous post for link to recipe) which was quite the hit!

I bought two bunches of Gerber Daisies & broke them into two vases. They turned out quite lovely.
Mr. Potts & I made quite the pair, don't you think? Y'all - I LOVED my hat!!

We had girls in hats.

We had boys in hats.
The end of the night came & my hat rested by the flowers. I'm saving this for the next time we go to Derby. I was so proud that I made this & pulled it off!! Don't you love the feathers?
Remember when I told you to bet the jockeys, not the horses? That's how I won big money last year on Mine that Bird.

I won the Derby pot this year too!

Love me some Calvin Borel!!!

Mine that Bird

We're back! I won big on Mine that Bird. I looked at the papers and wondered why someone would bet Calvin Borel so low. Helpful Hint: When picking horses, do look at the horses, but look at the jockeys too. If you've got a great horse & a not so good jockey, you're not too likely to win.

Mr. Potts & I before we left to the track (the weather was bad, so I was already rockin some frizz & natural wave. Good thing I had a hat!)At the track after several adult beverages. NOT mint julips - those are disgusting!
The rest of these are some of the beautiful hats which were representing last weekend. I've already decided that next year I'm going all our. I gotta have a fabulous hat! Plus lose more weight. :)
Enjoy!!
This was my favorite hat!! Look how BIG it is!
