"meet me for a pretty picnic"

I'm so glad you got to come!



this pretty picnic was set up on a glorious day within a pear grove...

just a short bike ride away from the farm



inspired by a beautiful lace dress I found at Cracker Jax in DeKalb and by the delicate blooms of the pear tree, I invited a few close friends, got my picnic basket down from the eaves, and started filling it with special pretty touches...






it was such a pretty afternoon


listening to our bees humming within the blossoms...slicing into the white cake with buttercream frosting...drinking a cold glass of farm fresh milk...

we put blossoms in our hair and soaked up the time together and the beauty around us


after i returned from our pretty picnic under the pear grove, i put together a whole line of products

they will all be available at the sale here at the farm
(in just less than two weeks...)

- postcards to invite your friends for a pretty picnic
- lace bunting to hang under your trees or between branches at a nearby park for your pretty picnic
- soft yellow paper straws
- little vintage napkins
- sweet patterned little cake plates
- my organic white cake mix
- lace tablecloth to lay down for your friends...your pretty picnic

all available at the sale...in the Na-Da Farm area of the barn (when you first walk in to your left)

these beautiful photographs were all taken by my good friend and beautiful photographer, Traci Thorson.
(these above images are just a few of them)

~thank you so much for coming~


xo + pretty picnic blessings,

The styling of the photoshoot is just spot on...everything looks perfecto!! Hmmm....I think we should start a photo styling business...did you know that's what I want to be when I grow up? A photo stylist!
