XXX This Giveaway is Now Closed. Thanks Everyone! XXXXX
Hi everyone! I’m doing the June Book Giveaway a few days early as my husband is actually off the next four days and we have some family fun planned. So no computer for me for the next few days!
I thought Paula Deen’s book Savannah Style would be a fun read for someone for the summer. I think it’s written exactly the same way she talks – down home and friendly.
There are lots of gorgeous photos to illustrate the different chapters. Photos by Debra Whitlaw Llewelyn
This is a collaboration between Paula Deen and her assistant/designer Brandon Branch. Each chapter has Brandon’s Style secrets.
As always, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. You don’t have to have a blog or live in the U.S. This is a great time for all of you who have never commented to come out and say “hi”.
I’ll post the winner Wednesday, June 2. So you have until Tuesday night to leave a comment.
I do have a photo post scheduled for Sunday as usual, otherwise I’ll be back Tuesday with my little kitchen project.
I hope you all do something fun this holiday weekend!

The pictures in this book are gorgeous. You're right, they put me in a summer mood. Especially the one with the seashells and burlap curtains, sigh.
Looks like an inspiring read! Just moved two weeks ago so I'm at the hang stuff up/decorate/nest stage.
Thanks for a fun blog!

My little girl loves watching Food Network, and yesterday my husband asked her who her favorite person was to watch. She immediately said, "PAULA!" :) We think it's because she talks like my mother-in-law. :)

Have a wonderful long weekend.
Hmm -- would I like to have this book? Sure! Maybe this will be my lucky day. As always I love your pictures and your blog (here in west TN the hydrangeas are blooming better than they have in years! Maybe it has to do with the 7 inches of rain we've had this month as compared with the past number of years of drought.
I found your blog searching for homemaking blogs - and I'm hooked. (c: I would love to win the book as we are in the process of rennovating our new home and I could really use some inspiration right now.
Count me in! Looks like a great book!
I would love to win this book. It would be perfect for me as I am just about to start redecorating. So this will come just at the right time.
Hi Manuela~
Since I am not a fan of Paula's, I would probably have missed this book entirely. But I do love Savannah and the great decorating you see there.
So I just might have to go check this book out.
Have a great 4 day weekend!

Hi from Australia - I have been 'lurking' on your blog for a few weeks now, but this is my first comment - I love your easygoing style, use of toile and the colour red, and I really like your philosophy 'the pleasures of homemaking' - I think that's something that gets lost in the 'hurry and rush' of busy everyday lives....
cheers,
Michelle
The book looks great. Being right up the road from Savannah, I might even recognize some things!
Absolutely LOVE the colours in that bed photo. Count me in too please. Can't say I'd ever heard of Paula Deen down here in NZ, but 'Savannah Style' certainly looks lovely.
Sign me up! :)
I hope you and your husband have a wonderful few days together!!!!
I don't have a blog, but am inspired by yours. I would love the book.
Jeannette
Looks like a delightful book, Manuela. Thanks for being so thoughtful.
Happy Memorial Day!!

I love Paula and your blogspot has been a very bright spot in my life. You are an inspirational person and your personality shines through the power of the internet. How does it feel to bring sunshine to people even in Texas? I love you and I don't even know you...but..yet...I feel I do.

I love the wildflowers! I did that once in an area of our yard that was very hard to grow things in because of being next to the pool area. Every year afterwards it reseeded itself so it was always a little different, but lovely in it's wild way. Maybe yours will bless you in the same fashion=)
Sherry
