...and on the weekend two of them had an engagement party. i wanted to get them something lovely. something that they could use to go on dates and enjoy the sunshine in their life and their weekends.
after weeks of thinking about this and months of collecting here are some of the goodies that i included in their 'vintage love picnic basket'. a floral tablecloth, napkins, handmade drawstring bag to store all that mismatched cutlery (let me tell you - it is hard to find nice forks!) and a fabulous little vintage thermos flask.
my husband would remind me often throughout this collection process that 'boys don't like stuff like this' - in my defense, i kept the colour scheme fairly manly... not a pink floral in sight :)!!
that is the loveliest present ever Kel!

ReplyDeletei second kylie's comment. just gorgeous. perfect amount of prettiness and manliness. love! ps. will i see you at rummage? i won't be selling but i'll be popping by. xx
ReplyDeleteI would be absolutely "tickled" if I received an engagement present like that. I inherited my Nana's picnic set which is in the cutest turquoise and hot pink floral suitcase and a matching thermos. It is the beez kneez. Your present came straight from the heart! x
ReplyDeleteThis is so thoughtful and I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous and thoughtful present Kel! I am sure they will love it :)
ReplyDeletePs. Will post your book asap xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I don't think the guys really expect to get anything remotly guy-y at their wedding or engagement do they? Noone buys lawnmowers or chainsaws for wedding presents. That's why they invented fathers day, he he he.
