I had asked you guys a week ago what your favorite part of summer was, and I’ve received so many amazing responses. Everything from going to a family lakehouse to sipping something sweet to the festivities that surround the 4th of July.
I wanted to share with you my favorite part of summer, which is breakfast outdoors. I don’t get to do this but every so often, and it may not be elaborate, but my ideal summer morning is drinking coffee and eating egg-soaked crusty bread outside.
The whole thing seems very European to me, so I put together a perfect scenario for my summer outdoor breakfast complete with a group of friends, and some fresh coffee.

Doesn’t it just seem like the perfect summer morning?
Ok, so I know I’m killing you guys here by dancing around the subject of who wins the West Elm give-a-way! Using a random number generator, fate has decided that it is Angela M who will win the splash of summer!
Congratulations, Angela! I’ll be emailing you shortly to work out the details.
I hope you all have a SWEET Tuesday!

Kate – that is exactly my thought! maybe on a terrace?
Soft boiled eggs and soldiers is one of my favorite meals! I was making it about a week ago and my husband claimed that he had never heard them being called ‘soldiers’ before. He must be living under a rock because I for one have eaten them so many times in his company. Anyways, your outdoor breakfast looks delicious and delightful
i want every single piece of this round-up. i’m such a sucker for brunch (i’d eat it for every meal if i could). great finds, erin!
This is one of my favorite things as well! The lighting in the morning and cool morning air are perfect for a cup of tea. And this picture reminds me that making eggs and soldiers have been on my to-do list for longer than I’d like to admit..
Mmmm egg soaked crusty bread- you speak my language, Erin! Love your blog, so fresh, stylish and serene. xx
Yum! Breakfast is my favorite meal and this all looks so delicious! I particularly a good toast rack. My husband and I really loved how they brought out our toast every morning in one of those when we visited England. So charming.
