Picnic time!

After a week of wet weather and no real signs of a change, we have decided to drive to Sweden for a few days this last week of my husband's holiday. We had agreed on not going abroad this summer, but Sweden doesn't count as that... we might not get better weather, but it will be a change of scenery.
So car trips mean picnics on the way. I had found an old basket while cleaning out the loft, so today I have made this romantic picnic set for two.
Basket with lace and bows. Tablecloth to match. And lined bags for the wine glasses (will only be water while on the road!) One in pink for me and one in blue for him.
Not exactly Fortnum and Mason, but prettier than a plastic bag! (I admit I plan on getting paper serviettes!)

  2. One day, I am going to do a co-ordinated picnic thingy. I'm inspired! I might just wait til the kids leave home though.
