Mmmm....summer

I've got summer on the brain.

Check!

Summertime fun?
Check!
Summer sandwich?
Check!!!I had my first tomato sandwich of the summer season yesterday. I enjoyed it so much I had another today!

Lucky for me, Mr. Potts doesn't love them like I do. In fact, he doesn't really care for tomatoes at all. I don't understand him sometimes.
Now for the big question. If you eat tomato sandwiches, do you use Miracle Whip (I use the light kind) or another type of mayonnaise spread?

Part 2

There is nothing I love more than sitting on our deck in the warm weather with the sun out, the fan on, a cocktail by my side (usually wine or a cucumber cosmo) and a good book to read. I tend to read more in the warm weather - I think it is the deck that draws me in.

So for the second part of my giveaway, I'm including a fun summer read. For those of you who read/watched The Devil Wears Prada, Chasing Harry Winston is the book for you! You'll laugh out loud while reading about 3 friends who decide to change their lives in some way.

So, you'll be entering for a chance to win the Cocktail Party set from Philosophy and Chasing Harry Winston.

A summer shout out

One of Mr. Potts & my favorite things in the spring/summer/fall (ok, warm weather) is to sit on our deck & lounge. We have worked hard to turn our space into a sanctuary. On our deck we have a love seat and a rocking chair. I've planted caladiums and gerber daisies. Along with that, we have a cozy rug. Our furniture looks comfy like this:

Not a picture of our furniture, but the idea is pretty similar - minus the table.

In fact, after Mr. Potts proposed we sat on the deck on a hot August night and celebrated with a bottle (3) of wine while we called all our family & friends.

In honor of that love of cocktails on our deck (never mind the fact that one of my favorite things in the world it to throw a cocktail party), the first part of my giveaway will be this:
Anyone currently a follower &/or has commented in the past month who enters my giveaway will receive an additional 15 entries.

Stay tuned. One more part to add to this to make it a little more fun. I'll kick off the giveaway tomorrow morning.
