Hi Everyone
Happy Monday
This weekend our family went on a picnic with friends
at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis club
complete with pink lemonade, delicious bbq chicken and deviled eggs

picnics
getting all of the food together
I realized we didn't have a traditional picnic basket
it broke on our last picnic
we have baskets everywhere in our home
so the hunt was on for the right basket for the job
This vintage white basket is
beautiful
This one is a nice size and shape
♥ this Nantucket basket
A bunch of baskets at the ready in the dining room
one with the tag still attached... oops
Here is the basket that worked the best
It is one of my ~favorites~ a vintage french basket it has a wooden bottom
a great handle
a great handle
worked perfect for the tall lemonade bottles
it even looks cute with magazines
Even though its not a traditional picnic basket it worked like a charm
A wonderful reason to have another picnic soon

ReplyDeleteNice baskets, Pam. I love La Jolla. When we lived in Scottsdale, my favorites thing to do in the summer was visit La Jolla (yep...I was a very happy Zonie for a little while......)
