present for a friend





Here is a present I made for a good friend of ours who recently got married. It's a little picnic set (because what kind of newlyweds don't like to picnic?), made from a pattern in Angry Chicken's Bend the Rules Sewing book. I filled it with some pretty napkins, cutlery, and plates from a little shop in San Francisco called Doe. I hope they have many nice afternoons with this.

What a beautiful, original present! Your friend is so lucky to know you! I love the fabrics and the coordinating plates. Nice work Lynne!

Let me tell you, we received a picnic set from one of Don's old mission families when we got married...although not as cute as your set

I agree with Melissa... a terrific, original present!!! It is so cool compared to the traditional bridal registry gift (though it's been 15 years since I filled ours out!!) My cousin is getting married in April (2nd marriage) and I think you just gave me the perfect idea!!!

wow. could that be any cuter? big no. the fabric and the plates are adorable! so unique.I have to say the fabric reminds me almost exactly of a sheet set my mom and dad received for their wedding. I love it!
