Now that the warm weather is upon us, don't you feel the urge to pack a picnic and dine outdoors? Whether you head to the seashore, a local park, or your backyard, having a picnic is the essence of summer. So welcome to picnic season!

Not only am I a fan of having an alfresco meal at the beach, I'm also a fan of vintage picnic tins. (I have a ridiculously large collection!) These relics have wonderful lithographed faux textures. Don't some of them look like they are really woven? And others have pretty flower or plaid patterns. I love the way they look when grouped all together. Plus, they are so useful for storage — and of course, for picnics, too.
Consider making your outdoor meal a little more Earth friendly by setting your picnic table with reusable dishes and cutlery. Most vintage plastic dish sets are dishwasher safe, are virtually unbreakable and will save you money, since you'll never need to purchase paper or plastic plates again. Plus, picnics are inherently low-tech, so vintage picnic ware seems appropriate, especially when you want to add a whimsical, retro vibe to the meal.
