When I was growing up, picnic meant….a meal wrapped in plastic, on a blanket, on the grass in a park.
Here’s a little glimpse at what “picnic night” looks like in this neck of the woods!

Lady, you know how to picnic in style!
Nothing like a picnic with your toes in the sand.

I want to come to your picnic!!! I am LOVING the monogrammed glasses! xo
May I please come to your next picnic! Now thats what I call doing it right!! So beautiful, the monogrammed plastic cups such a beautiful touch, I love my monograms-That looks like the ingredients to one fun night……and at the beach, its perfect!
Hysterical. Looked like a "normal" picnic to me since, I too live in your home town. Although, even by the standards of our town, your picnic had more style!
we have picnics on the beach every tuesday, but they do not look like that!!!! yummy cocktails, awesome food… but NO flowers!
i am squealing. SOOOO fabulous!!
Jaw-droppingly gorgeous. You certainly know how to celebrate in style. I would picnic with you anytime. Every detail is just perfect — I think the monogrammed cups are my favorite. How lovely. XO Jeanne
Words cannot describe…I love everything from the monogrammed cups to the crabs! xx
I'd pick a spot right next to you and hope for an invite over!

Gorgeous! How about some monogrammed ribbon for your next picnic? http://www.Royal-Ribbons.com :O)
Now *that* is how you picnic in style! Who wouldn't love to be at that picnic? Great job!
LOVE the monogrammed cups!! Where oh where can I get those?? This is just dreamy… It's like you jumped out of the pages of a fairy tale… Pretty Pink Peonies!
Was that your birthday party? RU kidding me!? LOOKS HEAVENLY!!! I need to move to Rye!
Now that's what I call a stylish beach picnic!! I see Sue mentioned it was perhaps your birthday party? Well that would explain the bottles of bubbly I see lurking in the ice bucket!! You can style my beach picnic any time!!
That's a beautiful picnic! Where do you find your monogrammed tumblers?

Since I've had a few questions about the monogrammed cups…let me share the source. They are from LaPlates…best known for their monogrammed melanine plates. But, the do other things, too….like these great cups. They are sturdy enough to reuse..so pick a name or date or motif you love and order some for your relaxed entertaining!!

Oh wow that looks perfect!!! I've been looking for inspiration for my upcoming bday party at the beach house in a few weeks and you just nailed it right there 🙂

This is gorgeous Elizabeth! I want to join in on that party! And apparently need to step up my own picnics 🙂
I had to look twice and read the comments to see if this was your work or art! You did GREAT!! Love everything, from the shelves to the peonies (in that gorgeous vase) to the monogrammed cups. My compliments Elizabeth!
Absolute summer perfection! Love it! xx
A great way to spend an elegant evening with sand between the toes – you do everything with such style!

Now you know how to picnic in style! Casual elegance. Perfection!
Yes, on a wonderful sandy beach.
I meant…Now YOU know how to picnic in style!!! I wish we all had that knack.
Don't be surprised if we all show up at your next picnic! Beautiful!
Very beautiful!
Brownie – LOVE the picnic at the beach…your blog always brightens my day…
Elizabeth–you need to move in with me! You have the unique talent of making everyday life elegant…teach me your ways!
Elizabeth, I think I would love to attend one of your picnics. I would say you really know how to do it right. I think the beach in Carmel is my favorite place for a picnic. Last time we were there we purchased clam chowder from Flahertys with sourdough bread and Perrier. Perfection!! Kathysue
That is picnic perfection! I love the monogrammed cups too~I think it is the hot pink swirly style that really makes them a standout! Found you from Enchanted Home!
