I'm Michele (aka Bunny) and am a party planner/designer. I work out of our 200 year old stone and clapboard house, where I live with my husband, three sons and a handful of pets. I have an online lifestyle magazine and blog that gets updated everyday with new recipes, party and craft ideas, garden tours, custom jewelry, travel and much more. Much of our designs and work are based on our travels around the world. Our philosophy is that we only have one life to live and we feel it is important to live it beautifully. I strive to surround myself with loving people, meaningful things and live each day to the fullest.
My favourite dish to take on a picnic is home-rolled sushi, usually with marinated chicken and avocado, mixed peppers and cucumber fillings, though sometimes I like to go less traditional and try things like strips of grilled steak and mushroom, or smoked salmon and cream cheese!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really adorable and generous giveaway!
My favorite picnic dish is anything from the grill.. steak, hot dogs, etc. Along with grapes, apples, etc. And of course, some homemade brownies and cookies :)

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
So cute. I want! When I go on picnics I like lots and lots of fresh fruit. And peanut-butter sammies.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely set! my newfound picnic favorite is from the ever-trustworthy smitten kitchen, called blueberry boy bait. Kids call is blueberry cornbread, husbands call it blueberry cake, but no matter what you call it, you can't stop eating it! :)

ReplyDeleteMy favorite dish on a picnic is an elaborate sandwich - the kind I'm usually too lazy to make at home.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this basket! Hopefully miss anne will choose my number!!!
how adorable!
ReplyDeleteI would bring my potato salad. I've finally perfected my recipe and it's been a big hit (finally!).
My favorite dish to take to a picnic is potato casserole...small frozen,cubed potatoes mixed with a little sourcream(which you can't taste) salt and pepper...baked in the oven with shredded cheese on top and finishing off with French's caramelized onions (crunchy)! It goes perfect with any main dish - burgers, chicken, hotdogs, or fish!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love to bring a corn salad with cherry tomatoes...yum. I love picnic baskets for real and for play picnics. When the weather doesn't cooperate, my kids and I spread out a "picnic" right on the living room floor. Irresistibly fun!
ReplyDeleteGood finale! I like curried chicken salad with grapes for a picnic. It's great paired with crusty bread.
ReplyDeletemy favorites to take on a picnic include sliced watermelon, chips of some kind, chocolate chip cookies, ice cold water, and an amazing veggie topped sandwich (turkey, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, red pepper, green onions, sprouts, and either a cream cheese or mayo spread). yum. now i need to go on a picnic:)
ReplyDeleteCUPCAKES. Especially ones w/ diamond rings decorating them like my boyfriend- err, FIANCE- used to propose 2 weekends ago. Needless to say, I love picnics... I'm crossing my fingers!!
ReplyDeletemy favorite picnic meal is peanut butter & jelly. i love pb&js but my diet doesn't, so it's the perfect picnic treat. brings me back to simple days of childhood <3
ReplyDeletesorry, a previous comment that says it was posted by jeffrey was me, maryirene. sorry about that.

ReplyDeleteThat picnic set screams FUN!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I usually grab lunch at chili's and then go to the park and sit under the tree where we carved our names when we were dating. Sadly it's hard to see the initials but the heart shape is still there.
ReplyDeleteMuffleta sandwiches. Dry crusty rolls, with a bit of EVOO, fresh herbs, cheese & possueto. They are not very healthy so it ends up being a special treat.

ReplyDeleteA bottle of sparkling lemonade makes everything else in the picnic basket seem classy, no matter what it is.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love throwing in the red-checkered cloth napkins I got at a bridal shower. Nothing says picnic like red-checkered gingham!

ReplyDeleteI love picnics. My favorite item to bring is macaroni salad and some sort of treat.
ReplyDeletehmmm..good question. I haven't picnicked in years! But I've met someone special who likes to picnic..so I need to decide on a good picnic dish. All I can think of now is an American picnic (sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit, cookies) or a more European one (baguette, good cheese, fruit, wine).
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the picnic basket + goodies to make this first picnic quite special.
I would love to say I picnic a lot, but I really don't. However, I think every picnic should include good chocolate!
ReplyDeleteMelons are required on any picnic packed by me. What a darling picnic set! My picnic-obsessed children would love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I was surprised to find that you too live in ID. For a picnic, I always bring my mom's potato salad. Only potato salad I will eat along with my mother in law's.

ReplyDeleteThis picnic basket is seriously great! I love to take chicken salad sanwiches!! So yummy!
ReplyDeleteI could seriously just live on Brie and crackers....but I would be happy throwing some macaroni salad in there.
ReplyDeleteI usually only take things bought from the store, because if a picnic is too much work, it isn't a picnic!
ReplyDeleteBut I make an exception for potato salad.
Nothing says summer so well as going on a picnic, especially with a basket as gorgeous as that! I would love, love, love to have it. I would give it to my best friend, Emily, who lives in France and is currently battling breast cancer. We have big plans to go on a picnic together next summer when she is cancer-free. On the menu: freshly baked baguette, brie, grapes and strawberries, lemonade, and a bar of dark chocolate. Mmmmm! It would all taste even better in a basket that looks like that!!!
ReplyDeleteI like to take caprese w/ sourdough bread or crackers and cheese.
ReplyDeletei love picnics, but am, sadly, not too good at planning ahead. so a good ol' pb&j works out great :)

ReplyDeleteMegan
I wish I could say I would bring something healthy, seasonal and beautiful, but truthfully fried chicken wins out everytime. My grandmother's fried chicken simply tastes like summer and childhood. And after all isn't that what picnics are about?
ReplyDeleteI love this! So adorable! When I go on a picnic, it seems that I always have requests for my special Rice Krispie treats and fruit salad. I love a good picnic. Would love it even more if I won! :]

My husband and I don't bring "dishes," we bring things to nosh on-- hummus, pita, veggies for dipping, fresh fruit, homemade cookies, and of course a bottle of red wine with wine glasses-- no styrofoam cups for us!

ReplyDeleteanything sans mayo that doesn't require utensils: southwestern wraps, homemade oreos. sparkling lemonade. salt and vinegar kettle chips.
ReplyDeleteGarden tomatoes, nectarines, cheese, and a baguette - something just right for a newlywed picnic! Now all I need is a picnic basket!
ReplyDeletepicnics are perfect with yummy, fresh finger foods/fruits, something for the barbecue and a big huge blanket to lie on under an even bigger, more huge shade tree. and you must go barefoot, of course.
ReplyDeleteI am a long-time lover of potato salad. It's a classic that I will always have a place for in my ... stomach.

ReplyDeletei know there are already over 150 comments, but that picnic set is darling! how fun, a tin picnic basket, or not basket i guess -- picnic tin? anyway, my favorite thing to take on picnics: rice crispy treats! they don't melt (well, just get a little soft - but the perfect softness) and they're just the right amount of sweet to wrap up a perfect picnic!
ReplyDeletethat set is absolutely amazing! my favorite thing to take on picnics is always potato salad - who doesn't love potatoes and being on a picnic feels like a good time to have something devilishly creamy.
ReplyDeletelove it! picnics at the park are the kids favorite thing to do year round here. i have a great recipe for buttermilk fried chicken and a great simple salad that would be great at a picnic. i've made it for in house dinner, but never for a picnic. if i win, i will try it.
