Picnic in Pink

With two boys, I don’t often use pink when entertaining or decorating…so when I get the chance to host some girls for any occasion…I jump on it!  An opportunity to say “thanks” to some friends helping with a project came about–and a simple picnic lunch seemed fitting for the occasion and season!  Not an elaborate event, but fun nevertheless…and a chance to “girl” it up a bit!  Here’s an easy way to throw together a sweet picnic for any situation!

gather simple supplies for an easy event…

my old tool box holds all the paper products…super cute and easy to move around!

use jars, buckets, cake stands or any other containers to hold ordinary food in an extraordinary way!

 even calling the cookies “buttons” makes them sound tastier!

menudon’t feel like plating it all up?  try filling a good old fashioned paper bag…

with a little pink of course!
