I think it’s time for another picnic, don’t you?
I live in Northern Alberta where the winters are cold, cold, cold; so when the weather is warm enough for flip flops..it really is something to celebrate!
Today I created this pretty picnic for myself and a friend, and I went with my all time fav colour….pink.
I used some simple white paper doilies, polka dot straws and some little flowers from my front porch pots to jazz up some pink lemonade bottles.
These little deli boxes, which hold paninis and salad, are tied up with pink twine and topped off with a napkin & fork.
And a little fruit and sweets round out the lunch.
When food is prettied up…it tastes infinitely better!
And here is a picnic I created for Spring…which you can see more of here.
Here is our family’s recipe for our favourite delicious picnic sandwich.
Or if you like salad, here is my recipe for some fun mason jar salads…
How about some picnic perfect chocolate chip cookies for dessert?
Or adorable little strawberry mini pies?
But whether you pack a picnic of homemade goodies, or bring along deli treats, a picnic is a wonderful way to relax and visit with loved ones!
I want to wish you all a Happy Weekend!

Looks like a picnic anyone would enjoy – and I recognize those chocolates, made right here where I live.
So fun…I would love to join your picnic 🙂 The strawberries look so big and wonderful. I love strawberries.
Enjoy your weekend!
I love how you always have a theme to your picnics! And anything "pink" is my favorite. This all looks adorable. I especially love how you dressed up the pink lemonade bottles with doilies! So cute!!!
