July was too hot for picnics. This was heartbreaking for me because picnics are definitely on my list of top favorite activities. I apparently don’t hide this fact either – last year for my birthday Paul and my mom almost got me the exact same picnic themed gift! My mom sent me an adorable, custom picnic kit and Paul said, ‘hey! I almost ordered a nearly identical basket!’ I didn’t get the set until the day after my annual birthday picnic, but don’t worry, it still got used! So yes, this year’s annual birthday picnic was a given, but the weather was just miserable. I have not adapted well to the Boston humidity…rather than sweating through our lunch we decided to try an indoor picnic. We kind of stumbled around the internet to see if there are any places you can go to set up an indoor picnic…we really weren’t sure how that would work or what we were looking for though. In the end, I thought a picnic at home with Mad Men sounded very pleasant! This was, I believe, the week that Mad Men stole my life. It was lovely and I’m glad we still kept up the tradition even when we were too stubborn to go outside. I was leaving for Colorado the next day, so it felt really nice to just chill out and enjoy the day before a busy travel day.
I also have to give a shout out to the prettiest birthday package (last photos)! I woke up and gasped at the sight of this beautifully wrapped box on my desk. Isn’t waking up to packages just the best feeling ever?? Birthday part two featuring the prettiest cake coming up soon!
Happy Birthday!
Somehow I missed your comment earlier, but I really appreciate the birthday wish!!
happy birthday to you, and that’s a beautiful package indeed! (as well as that sushi roll)
Sorry I missed this comment somehow, but thank you so much for the birthday wish!!
Happy belated birthday from some fellow picnickers!
Aww, thank you, little picnic friends!
Happy belated Birthday to you! Lovely foods & What a lovely wrapped gift.
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday!! (a little late!)– we are big picnic fans– and are happy to eat them on the coffee table– fire going in the winter, back door open for breezes in the summer!
Thank you! I posted this a little late, so it’s only fitting! A winter fireplace picnic sounds wonderful!
