A Picnic in the Park

Making a picnic should be SUPER easy - it's supposed to be a more relaxed version of eating after all! Deciding that you're having lunch in the park on a glorious Sunday in September should be as easy as wrapped salmon bagels, potato salad with white anchovies and fresh watermelon. Peeling boiled eggs on the grass always makes me think of days by the seaside as a child so I can't help adding them to a picnic for pure nostalgia. This gingham oilcloth has served as my picnic blanket (for food) for years, it's perfect, practical and totally looks the part! (I highly recommend investing in a piece when you're next in a fabric store). Paper plates, knives, forks and cups all in Swedish yellow and blue were left over from our Midsommer party. The roller disco in Central Park was just at the bottom of the hill so the music and atmosphere were infectious, the sun was shining and the food was delicious. A perfect picnic :)
