It is finally time to rummage through your grandmothers closet for the perfect knit quilt.

Here in Alabama we have a good three weeks of perfect.sunny.70 degree weather to enjoy a little croquet, or mimosas with strawberries, and of course your favorite picnic basket or two before the weather turns sour.

...and by sour I mean unbearably hot.

These past couple of weekends I was able to relax

at a few of my favorite parks in Birmingham with a few of my favorite friends.

Weekend 1

Green Central Station

A shop in Birmingham that rents every imaginable type of picnic supplies.

On top of that, hosts 2nd Sunday Picnic @ Rushton Park on Highland every month.

The owner brings out croquet sets, bat-gamin, picnic tables, and plenty of yummy treats.

Vintage revamped bikes are also sold at the shop. Check it out.

You will not be disappointed.

Weekend 2

Railroad Park.

This particular visit we met up with a handful of friends,

and began plotting for our community field day.

Accompanied of course by mimosas and fresh fruit.

I am talking about balloons. picking teams. potato sack races. parachutes.

the works!

Spring Vintage Photoshoot for the shop

Yesterday I ventured out to the beautiful outskirts of Tuscaloosa with two of my lovely friends! Mary Catherine Moody modeled clothes for my shop while Rachael Roberts photographed. Mary was a great model, and made it pretty easy to get great shots and still have an amazing time. All of the clothes you see below are for sale on my Etsy site. Mary and Rachel both have incredible websites and blogs. Mary is a fashion designer and a very talented artist and model, check out her blog here. Rachel Roberts took all of these amazing photos. She is available for wedding, event, and individual photography. Just shoot her an email. renegaderoberts@gmail.com

Or you can check out her great work here.

I hope you enjoy these photos. Which ones are your favorite?
OH and don't forget, everything you see is available for purchase at
The AppleSeed.

Thank you so much to my wonderfully talented friends for making this photo shoot a success.

Today my shop was featured on ETSY. I wish that someone would have sent me an email informing me! I had to find out via facebook from a very good friend of mine. You can check out the full article here. These watermelon baskets would be perfect for a pretty fun picnic. You can purchase the baskets directly from my shop. The Appleseed
