Styling Recipe: the art of a Picnic
I hope you're all still here, I know I've been absent for the last couple of weeks but I've been really busy with the final project for my university and catching planes from London to Greece. I'm writing this post from my hometown, Thessaloniki. The weather here is lovely and I'm currently relaxing in my garden next to my two dogs and a warm cup of coffee.
A friend once told me 'people feel different when they sit/walk on grass'. His quote sounded strange but I always felt the need to sit by the beach, on grass or snow but I've never realized the true connection between people & nature and how nature makes everybody happy. Maybe that's why I enjoy picnics so much. Do you find time to enjoy a day on the beach or in a park with friends?
Truth is that the absolute essentials for a picnic are simple : friends, a warm blanket & food you love! But if you want to take the whole process of a picnic to a whole new level, I've collected a few extra ordinary picnic settings for you. I hope you like them!
Greeting from Greece, I hope you all have a great day!

Hi Maria - what lovely pics thank you. We used to have lovely picnics when we holidayed on Ithaca - just take a boat out and pull in at a beach we had to ourselves. I hope you've had a lovely trip home. Thanks for your kind comments and I'm following you too. Annie x.

ReplyDeleteMy good friend the writer, Antonis Sourounis who currently lives in Athens, on one of his visits to my home, took off his shoes and walked barefoot in my garden. It was mid-January a cold but sunny day. I teased him and his answer was γειονομαι με τη γη ,he felt grounded let's say. I always remember that day. He was sooooo right. And so are you when you talk about picnics, and truly such inspired and beautiful ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Leslie! :)
