My rescued picnic basket and serving pieces are ready for the rites of spring. |
Give me a blanket, a tasty bottle of bubbly, a basket full of finger foods and I'm all set to enjoy the gifts of Mother Nature.
It would seem that our dog, Kahlo is pleased by the prospects of a picnic as well.
This basket is a vintage beauty I picked up last week along with the pottery and glassware shown. I just can't bear disposables when the real things are so much more environmentally friendly. Hubby and I are trying to reduce our carbon footprints at every opportunity.
Even if you're a city dweller, a rooftop picnic can be just as cheerful on a spring day. Elizabeth Anne Designs conquers the ordinary with galvanized tin serving pieces and bright yellow blooms set against a urban skyline in the photo above.
Sharing a toast under a tree-shaded canopy is a sensational way to spend some time in the great outdoors.
Why not create a ethereal picnic setting at dusk like the one at left via Daily Diva Dish. Above right, fine foods are equally at home with champagne on a plaid tablecloth for an impromptu celebration.
No place to lay that blanket? A tailgate picnic can be just as much fun. I wonder if my super hubby might feel the need to own a vintage, red Ford Falcon Ranchero. I would promise to host great picnics just like the one in this charming photo from Sweet Paul Magazine.
