Perfect Picnic

Truth be told, Seattle doesn't pose the best year round setting for a romantic picnic. In fact, rain saturated parks might even deter you from that leisurely outdoor meal with your special someone. Yet, should you indulge in this romantic venture, check out the latest picnic accessories from Red Envelope.

How clever is this? A miniature picnic table designed to actually stick into the grass, serves not only as the centerpiece for your feast, but also the steadying foundation for attached wine bottle and glass holders. Ingenious design so you can actually enjoy your romantic rendezvous! Why didn't I think of that?

Ketchup

I love this card by chewingthecud! I am a big fan of "old fashioned correspondence," as I like to call it. When college ended, I had several friends who moved away to various parts of the country for jobs, grad school, boyfriends, etc. As a result, postcards/cards became our favorite way to get the scoop on each others lives.

I especially love the checkerboard picnic tablecloth background, and the subtle ketchup splatter. Definitely makes you want to catch up.
