The evening before Kara, Barb, I headed to Horton’s French Flea I got a text from Barb asking if a packed lunch sounded ok. She had the fixings and was willing to pack a picnic. I wouldn’t dream of turning down an offer like that! It wasn’t just any picnic – it was a picnic fit for a queen 
Even the picnic basket was beautiful. As Kara said in her blog post – it was a pic-nique!
Isn’t the picnic basket just adorable? I need one of these. I’m sure if I had one I would take my family on picnics much more often, don’t you agree?
A lovely linen tablecloth and matching napkins make any picnic more special!
A peek inside the basket…
…revealed quart baskets with our lunches tucked neatly inside!
Cute jam jars – I have decided this brand of jam is a must. I MUST have those jars.
Yummy. I need a picnic right now!
Turkey and pesto on focaccia and delicious pasta salad. And grapes which I didn’t get in the photos. And Kara provided yummy chocolate chip cookies which I also didn’t photograph. I was too busy munching those cookies right down!
Baby Illsa. She was so good – she is destined to love the flea as much as we do!
Have you had any picnics this summer? What is your favorite picnic food?

I’ve been looking (drooling is more like it) at the d5100 for a year now. I just need to get hubby on board to get one!

So glad I’m not the only one who buys groceries just to get the container. I bought French Lemonade at DLM the other day just to use the bottles at my dad’s wedding reception. The sad thing is, my husband knew this before I even told him, lol. That picnic looks extra-special. My picnics usually consist of pb&j in a ziptop bag
) I should make a special lunch and see if the boys notice.

Oh my goodness, a delicious menu and a beautiful presentation! Makes my plastic cooler look not so cool!
Love that sweet baby photo!
What a wonderful friend to make a lovely picnic like that. I love the basket – totally agree it sets the tone. I’m in love with mason jars like the little jam jars used for the pasta salad. I made a whole picnic using mason jars recently (http://gracie-senseandsimplicity.blogspot.ca/2012/07/a-mason-jar-picnic.html). I love a pretty picnic and yours looked gorgeous.

Thank you Chrissy! Happy to have you here!
So adorable!! Love the details especially the jars! What brand of jelly is that?
I can’t remember right off hand Jennifer, I will have to ask Kara or Barb. I know you can get it at Kroger!
The brand is http://www.bonnemaman.us/. The labels are beautifully designed too. Great to use for a vase also.
Jill.. sounds so nice to {sit} and have a picnic under a shady tree again (: Fun pics and of course love the one of Illsa!
Thanks Barb! I hadn’t had time to find out that brand yet!
Hey Jennifer that brand of jelly is bonnemaman! Barb left a comment with a link to the company
If the picnic was as good as it looks, I’m sure you had a great time! Thanks for sharing this week at One Creative Weekend! I hope to see you back tomorrow.
