5/7 Tablescape Thursday

Tablescape Thursday logo It’s time for Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan and her blog Between Naps on the Porch. I am ready to have a picnic!

Now if I could find my picnic basket…… it is out in the garage also known as my husband’s domain….. which means NOTHING is where it should be….

If I could find it… what possibilities there are!!!

    Picnic! Picnic! Picnic! We used to go on way more picnics when the kids were little than we do now and we always took a picnic basket. We always had bubbles as well. Nothing makes a picnic more complete than little girls running through bubbles!

    A picnic is a great idea, and I even have a picnic basket that I painted. I'll have to do that sometime. Great pictures. Very inspirational.

    Hi Susan...Now you've got me wanting to go on a picnic...but the ground is too wet from all of this wonderful RAIN we have been having!! Wooo hooo! I might even be able to plant some flowers and do Outdoor Wednesday! Lake Lanier is only 6 feet down...a miracle! Have a wonderful weekend...hugs...Debbie

    I have never owned a picnic basket (or even been on a picnic!), but beautiful photos such as these certainly make me wish for one (even if I had to go on the picnic alone).

    My picnic basket is lost somewhere out in the garage too. I haven't been on a picnic in years. Might just have to track down that old basket & go on one. Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for visiting my tablescape & leaving a comment.

    I love old vintage picnic baskets. I have two now. But my favorite one I bought at a garage sale many years ago. My dogs ate it. So I keep the others higher up. I love informal table gatherings!

    Susan, The picnic baskets pictures are beautiful. The Mosquitoes have gotten so bad here after all our rain, it makes it almost impossible for a picnic. But we have learnd to imporvise and have one in the sunroom at the lake house. So now I have some new ideas.
    I enjoy your blog...thanks for sharing.
