Picnic in the Park

My lovely friend Alyssa joined me the other day for a visit and a tasty picnic in the park. After she generously helped me in the kitchen with my Earl Grey Cupcakes, we packed up some simple PB&J and tuna fish sandwiches, a thermos of apple juice and naturally, a couple of our yummy cupcakes- and then we were off to the park!

We found a glorious spot in the soft grass and shade of the trees to sit down and enjoy our lunch, chat, giggle and take pictures. 

This is Alyssa- isn't she gorgeous!? Love that necklace. You should check out her darling blog (and some of her gorgeous photography) at her website, The Start of Something Wonderful!
