Boating Party and Picnic
When I first saw this photo of the boating party, I immediately thought how fun it would be to have a picnic like that. Just lazily floating along, eating good food, laughing with friends. Of course, this could go any number of ways, with lunch on the grass and then boating afterwards, or lunch in the boats and then playing on the grass. Or just an entire afternoon in a rowboat. That sounds best to me.

I love so many of Kathryn's boards but this just may be my favorite. It has me craving a lazy weekend spent at the lake surrounded by family and friends! I love it!!

Um...me ;)
(All that gingham makes me giddy ~ tee hee!)

A very charming board. I love the details. It inspires me to call my friends and organize a lovely picnic pretty soon.
