We had traditional red and white gingham picnic blankets, delicious fruit platters, dandelion tea, macarons and the obligatory sandwiches (egg and lettuce - my favourite!)
The weather was kind to us, only a little warm. The mosquitoes were not so kind to us.
Sassy D wore a very trendy and picnic-wise outfit. She matched a pair of high waisted repro jeans (with a cute martini applique stitched on the back pocket) with a brown and white gingham bolero from Atomic Martini Vintage, white canvas tennis shoes and a cute headscarf.
I am sure she will kill me for using this picture of her adoring her first morning coffee....
Her sister, Classy K wore a 1940s style dress she had made herself from a Vogue Vintage pattern (V2787) with a sensible vintage wide-brimmed vintage hat and nice shoes.
PoisonedKitty wore a 1940s dress she had made herself out of the perfect picnic dress fabric! It had green apples and little bees all over it. Love- love! She matched this with a vintage hat in a lush shade of green, matching the apples on the dress fabric. Her leather sandles made this a relaxed outfit and tied into the colour of the leaves on the fabric. Her lovely Mama D was also at the picnic in a dress PoisonedKitty had made.
My outfit was comfortable but I could have been a little more sun-smart with my hat!
