Pack a Picnic

July 30, 2013 · 8 Comments

It may be too hot to enjoy the outdoors mid-day, but I’ve been wanting to have a picnic all summer, especially while watching the sunset as the brisk evening winds pick up. How perfect would it be to grab the girls, find a shady area near endless beds of flowers, share laughs and smiles underneath the golden sun.  Go ahead, kick back your shoes, feel the grass between your toe, enjoy the simplicity of summer and become inspired to have you very own…Screen shot 2013-07-29 at 9.27.52 PM

The perfect picnic requires flooring, and I was instanly drawn to this quadrado rug inspired by the brightly colored town square of Trancoso, Brazil. Now the bottle of wine has its own secure place in this picnic tote, or feel free to bring along this jug ready for your infused basil-ade, while you enjoy this refreshing summer salad on these sea blue inspired plates. I’m swooning over ombre dip-dyed pieces, maybe because I’ve been experimenting myself, but these extra-large blue napkins are perfect for any outdoor mess, along with these adorable handmade disposable utensil packets. To me the best part of a picnic is being able to bring my little buddy with me, but with the yucky fact of summer life: ticks, make sure you keep your dog safe by adding these to your regular routine. Then there’s only one way I’d want to end the night, star-gazing around the fire pit making s’mores.

      They are so much fun, especially when you take the time to make them pretty and pack some yummy healthy food 🙂

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Instagram post 2195361413982519148_20110111 I haven’t really created new holiday stylings in the past few years, mostly because cookies have become precedent, or I’m already working on early new year events & get crafty making gifts. But this year I’m trying to fill more of that free time w. rest....& plenty of scheming for my next travels😉🌿
.....
But you can get more of this Festive Red Boho Styling & other holiday ideas all on the blog archives!! Follow the bio link for plenty of inspiration✨❄️
Instagram post 2193145886518090006_20110111 Words for the weekend, the holiday season & every other day of the year!✨And yes I photocopied & framed this from the latest issue of Magnolia Journal, it pretty much sums up my approach to the holidays this year.....
reusing what I already have,
woods & greens to celebrate
the beauty in Mother Nature’s bareness,
fairy lights that remind me of starry night skies
& this little penguin (who has been my only 
non-necessary purchase) because I love 
penguins & it makes me smile 
every time I’m at my desk working🐧❄️🌿
Instagram post 2192265495171179698_20110111 A little but special throwback to our Gift Wrap & Give Back Holiday Party! We gathered up the gals for some bites, wrapped donated gifts & wrote cards - all for kids who don’t get to celebrate the holidays or receive the kind of gifts most do....this is one of the easiest ways you can get together w. friends this holiday season while doing some REAL good!

Grab your friends, have them each donate a toy/gift for a local community drive or a family in need, then have each person bring a dish & something to wrap with! Get all the ideas for this party on the blog & make your own special “Give Back” holiday party💚
Instagram post 2190101455565098681_20110111 December ..... while most dive into the crazed chaos, I will honor your Slowness🌿I will still celebrate the things I love about the holiday season, but I will do it in a more natural way; an homage to the restorative & simplistic beauty of Mother Nature this time of year.

I will continue to be grateful, showing my kindness & love towards others, even if it’s a simple act of baking cookies or giving away a coat.

I will reflect & cherish all the days before. I will live in each present moment, but also dream & envision new plans for goals I know I’m on my way to achieving, new places to explore, new adventures, new people to meet.

I will continue to learn & grow into an even better version of myself as I celebrate the final days of another year & the beginnings of a new.....✨
