Here are a few Bella-approved picnic must-haves&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Must-Haves for a &#8220;Bella&#8221; Picnic<\/h1>\n<h4>1. Patchwork quilt<\/h4>\n<p>Spread out your favorite quilt on the lawn for your picnic. You can usually find patchwork quilts at your local thrift\/antique store. They have so much character and are made with love!<\/p>\n<h4>2. Homemade baked goods<\/h4>\n<p>Muffins and scones make delightful picnic treats. Use a beloved family recipe or use this opportunity to try a Pinterest recipe you&#8217;ve had tucked away.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Journal and pen<\/h4>\n<p>What better time would there be to pick up your journal than when you&#8217;re surrounded by beauty? Bring a journal and pen along to jot down your thoughts and sweet sentiments.<\/p>\n<h4>4. A book (or issue of <em>Bella Grace<\/em>!)<\/h4>\n<p>There&#8217;s something special about getting lost in the pages of a story outside with the fresh air against your skin. Browse our collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/stampington.com\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">classic books<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/stampington.com\/bella-grace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Bella Grace<\/em> issues<\/a> to bring along with you!<\/p>\n<h4>5. Camera<\/h4>\n<p>Most of us have cameras on our phones but it can be particularly magical to capture moments in a more old-fashioned way. Bring along a real camera (or even a polaroid one!) to help remember your sweet afternoon.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">For more picnic inspiration, <a href=\"https:\/\/go.stampington.com\/hubfs\/A%20Year%20of%20Picnics_GRA.pdf?utm_campaign=Notes%20from%20Bella%20_6%2F9%2F22&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsmi=216019976&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_IhA_OOL-gemR3b_eKDpnUPKy6U2FtWOc1RdXl-hOyKqfn4lne-ME6MwBG8Odhz8YN1BCBoy2Mv_-VUXST575m_txhvw&amp;utm_content=216019976&amp;utm_source=hs_email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a> to download a collection of our favorite picnic articles featured in <em>Bella Grace<\/em>!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea of a picnic is filled with romance and coziness.
