A few weeks ago, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful Autumn weather and hosted a little picnic in our favorite neighborhood park. I had fun putting together all the picnicy elements. From vintage crocheted blankets to lounge upon...
...to pretty vintage trays for holding food and drinks...
I kept the menu simple. Delicious sandwiches in combinations like Brie, turkey, & apple and roast beef & swiss...
Pretzels and potato chips were the perfect picnic accompaniments and were served in fun vintage tins (washed and lined first!)...
For beverages, I served jugs of fresh apple cider. An old Coca Cola crate corralled a selection of sodas in old-fashioned style glass bottles...
I used vintage floral sheets as tablecloths. For centerpieces, I put pretty Gerbera Daisies in blue mason jars. Colorful striped paper straws were also a must!
For dessert (sorry, I was too busy having fun to take photos!), I set out chocolate brownies, my s'mores bars, and chocolate chip cookies. And favors were more of those chocolate-caramel apples that I showed you last week...
The park setting was a great place to host a picnic. The kids were able to run around and play...and the adults got to chat. The food was yummy, the weather cooperated, and everyone had a wonderful time. A perfect Autumn picnic in the park!

Oh, I wish I had been at that picnic. What a wonderful theme and clever presentation.
