A Setting for Celebrating Summer!!

Guess what?  I am excited to share with you a fabulous giveaway from Mikasa to celebrate the first day of summer!  Mikasa is offering one of A Perfect Setting's readers the opportunity to win a 4-place setting dinnerware set of either Garden Harvest
or Modern Butterfly!

Both patterns are perfect for a special summer evening or for a casual al fresco dinner!  Garden Harvest is a popular pattern with its colorful, cheery fruits and leaves.  Modern Butterfly is a contemporary, vibrant pattern that has the beauty of a spring garden.

Ok, here's the rules:  First, become a follower of A Perfect Setting; Second, go to the Mikasa Facebook page and leave a comment letting us know which design best fits your table decor for summer;
Next, come back to A Perfect Setting, leave me a comment to let me know you have visited Mikasa's facebook page and that you are a follower!!  I will randomly choose a winner on the first day of summer, May 31st!!

Yippee!!  Summer's almost here!!


How about a summer morning lounging with a cup of tea?

We are set up in the blue toile guest room!
The window seat is a great place to sit and relax while enjoying the view of the outdoors.
 Johann Haviland's Blue Garland china is set on a silver tray.
A vintage silver spoon...
