It was a gloriously beautiful day today! It is been super hot and humid around here as of late, but today was absolutely perfect! So, I grabbed the girls and we headed out for a little picnic...
It was a great opportunity to use some of my vintage floral cupcake picks, my new Cath Kidston-esque napkins (HomeGoods), and my newest melamine pink polka dot plates (Pottery Barn Kids). It's amazing how the littlest details can elevate a simple picnic into something special...
For dessert, we had to have some cupcakes..with sparkly sugar crystals and a pretty posy, of course!
I just took some basic iced cupcakes from the bakery and embellished them a bit. The girls went crazy for them. :-)
And since that just wasn't enough sugar for us, we indulged in some mini "ice cream" cones...
These were made of yummy marshmallows - perfect for a warm summer day, as they didn't melt in two seconds flat!
So, maybe not the healthiest picnic around, but definitely a delicious one. :-) And what a pretty, pretty day we had!
XOXO

You must have a lot of patience aside from a lot of obvious creativity. It is a delight to read your blog.

Good for you! We've also been hit with a heatwave and then had 2 days of gorgeous weather. It's amazing how the change of weather can totally affect how you feel and what you do. Sounds like you had a super time and made great memories with the girls!

I love all your posts. I was wondering how long ago you bought the plates at Pottery Barn? I can't find them. Well so far I checked on-line. Thanks so much. Maybe you could email me. [email protected] Thank you Jodi

I found the plates. I had to travel an hour to get them and they only had a couple left. HAPPY:)
