Summer 2021! Make your Picnic Pop

For you. Outdoor dining ideas. When I planned this photo shoot, the goal was to provide design examples for outdoor small events, birthdays, picnics, happy hours, etc. Sometimes an inspirational image is all you need to make your picnic pop. Images are linked to more details on the items used during the photo shoot. When you create your picnic and take photographs, consider showing me. I love to see your beautiful experiences. To get you started, below you will find a summer favorite recipe, Rose’ Sangria by Ina Garten. We LOVE The Barefoot Contessa.
