TABLETOP TUESDAY - grab it + go!

i'm a big fan of the impromptu picnic and am especially fond of vintage baskets like this one. 

toss some linens, melamine dishes and cutlery along with a few sandwiches, beverages and whatever else you have on hand into a tote, sack or basket + just go! 

you needn't travel far. your backyard or even a fire escape will do. now you have no excuse to sit inside.

enjoy!
