What is it? Three small Thermos brand food containers.
Where did I get it? I picked up two of these while thrifting with my sister. I had been on the lookout for some good picnic/camping containers for a while but they always smelt really bad. My sister suggesting cleaning them with baking soda and vinegar. They were super cheap (50 cents each) so I decided to get it a shot and it worked perfectly.
Do I use it? I will use these during the upcoming picnic season.
I love picnics. I love biking to some remote and interesting part of this great city. And simply hanging out. No matter how much I love them, I can never manage to satisfy my picnic urge. All to quickly it is September and picnic season is coming to an end.
The summer got away from me this year. Travel, moving, planning and bam hello October. Maybe this will be the year I get in some fall and winter picnics!
I've compiled a few picnic DIY's to motivate a late season picnic or to encourage some winter crafting (and next summer planning!)
1. Picnics aren't picnics without straws.
2. The food of a picnic can be carefully planned or more impromptu (PB&J anyone?) but the picnic basket is a crucial aspect. Something functional is a must but something cute makes the picnic experience special. This tutorial is for butcher paper picnic baskets.
For me, picnics and biking go basket in basket. I brought home the frame of my latest bike project. Meet Austen.
He doesn't look as spiffy as this version, but come picnic season next year he will!

What will you miss most about summer?
In which I bike to buy Bobo tea bubbles in bulk, but have to buy them in regular size.
Depression sets in, which is sated with green tea biscuits and coconut water
And also this view. This pretty view.
My first picnic of the season, and my first bicycle ride of the season.
