Picnics, please!

Summer days are all about enjoying as much of the outdoors as you can and it just doesn't get much better than a picnic for me! Yummy food, fresh air, good company or a good book and voila, 'Bob's your uncle', as we say in Australia!

Here's some of the best picnics I've seen around...
The photography alone from this blog will have you lost in it's archive's for hours!


Australian Christmas' are always stinking hot as December is smack bang in the middle of Summer! So this Christmas in July picnic found via this beautiful blogger made me feel nostalgic for warm summer festive days. However, I must admit cold Christmas' are becoming my fave, it's easier to eat more :)


Okay, there's no doubt in my mind that I just worship these two girls. It's true I've dabbled in some party planning in my time {enjoying every minute} and I've learned there's definitely an art to throwing the perfect party.  For me, most of that comes down the the details and these two girls are some of the best around! They have combined their talents and started bash, please, an event and party planning company and boy oh boy is it fabulous!  

{you had me at Lavender Jelly, if you know me, you know I have a serious love for Lavender.}

How are you planning on enjoying the rest of Summer my sweet readers?

    I'll be soaking up as much sunshine as I can these final days of summer.. a picnic sounds perfect.

  7. I passed up a $5 picnic basket at the thrift store last week, and now you've got me kicking myself! I have several parties left to throw this summer (baby shower brunch in 3 weeks, and a dinner date party next weekend). Thanks for the inspirational photos!

  8. I remember spending a Christmas in New Zealand, and it was so weird to be in sunny dresses and flip flops. But it was also quite yummy! It was my first birthday in a bikini! Great pics. (Sigh...) Can't wait for Christmastime!!

  10. Picnics are right up there on my list of favourite things to do! Alas, I've only had time for one so far this summer. I will have to add it to the long To Do list!

  11. I do love picnics to bits... something about red ginham and raspberries...
    I love the idea of Australian Christamas picnics (I spent one Christmas in Australia but it never occurred to me to have a picnic.

    I also love that first shot, the perspective is crazy!

  19. I don't know why I never realized Christmas in your part of the world is during summer. How odd! Fruit loops at a picnic is pure genius.
