Fourth of July brings to mind the beginnings of summer. Cookouts, long days at the beach, enjoying nature while it is all green and flowering and a time to enjoy tradition. I don't mean fireworks and the usual hotdogs and hamburgers. I am talking old fashioned picnics. Pack a lunch in a basket, lay out on a gingham blanket spread over grass and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Enjoying your fresh, healthy, homemade lunch with a little class and dash of fun.

Make your picnic special and make them grand.

reusable, hand washable, stain resistant..... did I mention bamboo utensils?

If you can't find time to get away for a real picnic with the blanket and hours of lounging bring the picnic with you. A little reprieve from work, with your picnic place mat will make lunch time all the more relaxing.

And they roll up so neatly, perfect for any outing...

Maybe I am biased, I did make them. But who can resist a romantic tradition so timeless.

Enjoy the holiday and go on a picnic!
