Picnic Perfect.

Spring, if not summer, has well and truly arrived on the Gold Coast and what better way to celebrate then by having a picnic in the park? My good friend Meg and I, joined by my sister Ruby and chief BFF Ashleigh, themed the gathering a 'Pinterest Picnic' in where we went the extra mile to make our affair just as pretty as the carefully staged picnics on everyone's favourite online pin board! We brought bunting, fresh flowers, pillows and plenty of yummy treats to indulge in, including mini cupcakes with Nutella frosting, caramel popcorn, zucchini slice, spiced chickpea and carrot salad and croissants with strawberry jam. The delicious red drink you see before you above was Meg's creation: Summer Fruits (loose leaf tea from The Tea Centre) ice tea with fresh strawberries; perfect amount of chill to compliment the heat of the sun. The wind blew in our hair, the shade let through rays of the sun that lightly tanned our shoulders, we chatted over what had been happening in each other's lives and about the food that we had been making of late, then, when everything had been joyfully consumed, we all parted ways and Meg road off on her cute-as-a-button mint cruiser into the pastel sunset.
