Picnic Baskets

So the other day I was cleaning out our storage (actually shifting more junk around to make room for other junk) and found a picnic basket we got for our wedding shower.  I feel so bad as it was a beautiful gift and I did register for Picnic Baskets as I did have an intention to use it!  The one I really wanted was just a basic basket big enough for two people, the one I received is huge and I could probably feed our family of four from it!  Oh and it even has fancy wine glasses and dinnerware included.  I really should have at the time just returned it because we could have used the money as I am sure this one wasn’t cheap.  My husband was so funny though when I reminded him about it, he wanted to keep it and wouldn’t let me put it in the garage sale pile.

The one I have is also a huge brown wicker basket, very sturdy but also very clunky.  Now they have adorable collapsible ones that are easy to store and carry.  I even saw some Picnic Backpacks online, which is also a great idea.  Now I know it is not the time to be talking about picnics but I thought it was funny that this picnic basket has moved three times with us and was sitting right in front of me in our storage area and I still haven’t used it!  I think for something fun this winter I will pack up our picnic basket, spread a blanket out on the basement floor, and we’ll have a picnic.  It will be hard to not turn the tv on since it is right there, but I think it still will   be fun!
