I am so glad you all enjoyed our impromptu picnic as much as we did. So today I wanted to share a few sources with you

Our quilt is from Walmart. We can thank the Pioneer Woman for its beauty and color. There are several available and you can see them all here.
You all know how I love a pretty napkin. I also got these to coordinate with our quilt.
I also got our beverage dispenser there. I filled it with ice water because I felt like we were going to need the option of having extra water. Mine is by Better Homes and Gardens and this one is the closest to my exact dispenser. But there are several options and you can find them here.
I used a garden stool I found on clearance to hold the beverage dispenser. At Home or Walmart would also be a good place to check for a reasonable priced one. Of course, places like Home Depot and Lowes would also be worth checking.
For comfortable seating I picked up some chair cushions from At Home. I chose ones I could also use later in my outdoor furniture. They had lots of colors and shapes. I paid $19.99 for mine. You can see the entire online selection here. I actually went into the store to match colors with my quilt.
We have these plates from Target. They are super inexpensive, can go in the dishwasher and come in lots of great colors.
Here are a few other things that made the picnic

We did get a couple of bug bites on the picnic and we got to use our Bug Bite Thing for the first time. It is an odd little tool…..but it actually worked. We are also big fans of Ice Drinks. Sometimes we buy the true ICE brand and sometimes we buy the Costco version. We love them both. We have waters, sodas and these in our garage refrigerator. When we are all loading into the car heading somewhere one of us always stops by the fridge and grabs something for everyone. If someone says I want a “fun drink”, they are referring to one of these ICE or Sparkling waters…..at our house we just call them fun drinks. Lastly, is my go to parchment paper. Of course I use it bake with, but it is also great to wrap up a sandwich. I love everything at this shop JSH Home Essentials. It is one of my favorite sites to just sit and browse through. Of course, that always results in an order being placed, but I have loved everything I have ordered.
I hope you plan a fun backyard picnic soon and enjoy hanging out with your people.
Have a great weekend!
