Have you gone on a picnic yet this summer? Ā I enjoyed a leisurely break in Yerba Buena park last week and also went to a windy, but fun picnic in Marina Green Park a few months ago. Ā I love feeling the wind on my face and
Picnic Essentials for the perfect picnic
1. Midi Gathre Mat,Ā The Land of Nod, $70
I’ve been obsessed with these mats for the last few months. Ā They are the most beautiful wipeable lather mats in shades ranging from mint green and pale pink to rich reds. Ā I think these would be awesome as both mats and tablecloths. Ā I’m just waiting for a sale and getting a few!

I love wooden forksĀ because they’re pretty and sustainable. Ā They’re perfect for a picnic!

There are so many great option for paper plates these days. Ā I love these designs – they’re so bright, fun, and chic!
4.Ā Picnic at Ascot collapsible insulated basket, Shoebury, $46.50 (from $55.2o)
I don’t think picnic baskets are a must, butĀ insulated picnic baskets are pretty awesome. Ā This model keeps food warm or cool and is both fun and functional.
5.Ā Aloha woven fedora, Charming Charlie, $9.99 (from $15)
I just got a few hats from Charming Charlie for me/my daughter. I love the selection and prices. Ā Remember to protect yourself from the sun if you’re out in the sun all day!

Picnics are dirty business. Ā Always bring lots of extra napkins to wipe up flying food and spills!

Thanks Kim! I tried to pick things that are functional but well priced. The Gathre mats are pricier, but I am a little obsessed with them. I think they could be used forever and are easy to clean!
These are perfect for a picnic š
The 2 yr old is really into “pic pics” right now, so I get to have a few of these a week. I need some of these to make them fancy!
Aww, how cute! Yep. I definitely think these make picnics fancy!
I love a good picnic and those mats are truly adorable! Hope you’re having a jolly good week, sweetie.
I DID SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK LAST WEEKEND SO I THINK THAT COUNTS. WE HAD A LOVELY CHARCUTERIE SETUP. THOSE WOODEN FORKS ARE SUPER CUTE.
Believe it or not, I have never been to a picnic, never had one myself too. I guess it was different living in Malaysia where it’s so freaking hot and you just want to soend indoors instead of outside. LOL!
