Picnic

Summer is so short in Canada… at least where I live (only in central Ontario!!).  So, we try to make the most of it.  I love summertime activities, like camping, hiking and picnic’s.  I came across this red gingham cotton jersey a while back and was inspired to shoot a mini picnic-themed collection.  I love the gingham set! It’s so Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island (I was always more of a Mary Ann than a Ginger).

I had a lot of fun photographing these items.  I hauled my picnic basket out to the back yard, bought some yummy pastries (and got to eat them afterwards!), and laid a vintage tablecloth.  It turned out really pretty!

Dan and I are heading camping tomorrow.  Camping over my birthday seems to be our new tradition. I can’t wait to get away! 

Today we’re off to Ikea to pick up furniture for the baby’s room.  Dan put up the first coat of paint in the baby’s room yesterday, and hopefully will finish today.  It looks so bright and fresh now.  I will feel good to finally have a few things prepared for when the baby comes.  I feel like the last half of this pregnancy is going way faster than the first half!
