*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*
Congrats to Krista who is beating the heat by opting for wagon rides at 7:08 a.m.
Man, was it hot here over the weekend! Our thermostat showed an outside temperature of 106 degrees at one point. Ugh. We were content to sit inside in the air conditioning. We could have used one of these as well…
It’s the Minka-Aire F300-BN, a retro brushed nickel desk fan. Don’t you love modern household items that work correctly and safely but look vintage? I once bought an antique desk fan at a roadside flea market in South Carolina. It barely worked and wasn’t kid-friendly at all, so I resorted to displaying it on top of our refrigerator {away from little fingers} in our previous house. On the contrary, this oscillating fan has all the character of an older model but is UL approved for indoor use. The blades span 11″ while the entire unit is 14.5″ from top to bottom. It comes standard with a low/medium/high/off control switch.
AND…it could be yours, free! Del Mar Designs is kindly offering up one of these cool fans to a lucky House*Tweaking fan. {Get it? A fan for a fan? Cheesy, I know.} See entry details below.
PRIZE: one Minka-Aire F300-BN desk fan {$45 retail value}

DEADLINE: Enter before Monday, July 23rd. One random winner will be chosen and announced Tuesday, July 24th.
WHILE YOU’RE AT IT: Since we’re trying to beat the heat over here, tell me how you stay cool on hot days. An icy beverage? A dip in the pool? Long afternoon naps? I’ll go first. With a three-month-old who gets cranky when she’s hot, I’m staying indoors as much as possible. If we do venture outside, it’s in the early morning or late evening hours when the heat isn’t as intense. I also feel cooler when I wear a comfortable dress as opposed to shorts on hot, hot days. And LOTS of ice water is a must! Fresh lemon optional.
