Picnic In The Park

Did you know that Saturday is National Picnic Day?  If you’re lucky enough to  have great weather where you live, it’s the perfect time to pull together your favorite picnic décor, picnic food and head to the park.  Despite a busy weekend of work and projects, I’m hoping to squeeze in a couple of hours of lounging under a tree and enjoying the our first picnic of spring.

Picnicking has become an art form over the last few of years and it’s no longer PB and J sandwiches and an old quilt.

These days, picnic basket are a style statement and just about any woven basket will work.  I was lucky to score a really great vintage basket last year similar to these below.  The great thing about these vintage baskets is that they are sturdy, have a wide-open interior and it’s easy to pack food, blankets and anything else you might want easy.

The Perfect Summer Picnic Blanket

Outside of the Christmas season, summertime has to be my favorite time of the year. Despite how blazing hot and humid it can get here in Atlanta, I love being in the sun and enjoying all the splendid things about summer like fresh corn, sweet cherries and watermelon.

One of the other things I like to do in the summer (which has yet to happen) is to head to the park and enjoy the day relaxing on a soft blanket.  This adorable and so budget-friendly bandana blanket would make the perfect companion in the park.  A new project just added to my project list.

It would also make a pretty cute picnic tablecloth too!
