why the obsession:
Happy Fourth of July week!!! Who isn’t excited about a nice summer picnic to celebrate our Independence Day? Here in Denver, as I’ve come to learn, we are definitely are obsessed with our summer picnics. Perhaps this can be attributed to our active and outdoors-ey culture, or the fact that there are more than 4,000 acres of parks and parkways within the city, or the fact that there are free jazz concerts in city parks during summer evenings. In any case, you definitely get inspired to step up your picnic game to something more elevated than just bringing a blanket, and what better time to do it in than our Independence Day? Here, I gather my six picks from one of my favorite stores, World Market, to help me achieve a very stylish July 4th picnic.
World Market Americana Fabric Garlands
How cute are these burlap fabric garlands? They have a homemade, vintage feel that would be perfect to hang around trees in your picnic area.
World Market Plaid Metal Picnic Basket
This basket is the perfect July 4th picnic basket, I like the fact that it’s made out of metal – makes it easy to clean!
World Market Paper Appetizer Cones
It’s definitely party-and-picnic-trendy to serve appetizers and snacks in cones!
World Market Paper Straws
I remember seeing this in the store and thinking I wanted to get it… just because it’s so cute! Unique straws are a cheap way to add flair to those regular party drinks.
World Market Stars and Stripes Cupcake Kit
Because we can’t ignore making desserts festive as well. Vanilla cupcakes, anyone?
World Market USA Burger Press
I saw this online and just had to laugh. I’m not sure how recognizable the shape will be (it also has a “USA” engraving on the press) but it looks to be a fun timesaver and even has a removable tray!
