Pop up beach party!

We love a beach picnic!  Toasted sandwiches or egg and bacon rolls, wrapped in tin foil to keep warm for winter, or cold snacks and cool drinks for summer.  Nobody is ever quite ready to go home as the sun goes down.  Take a few pillows, a blanket, these diy beach lanterns and you don't have to rush home at the end of the day.

I will share how to make your own lanterns in a few weeks time, super easy and inexpensive, its a diy you are going to love.

One of the great things about living in Sydney is that winter is still beach weather.  You might not swim but it's perfect for walking or picnics.  

Pop back soon for the lantern tutorial, it will be up in a few weeks.  
Hope this inspires you to head for the beach if you are lucky enough to be near one, a local park is just as lovely, and enjoy the gorgeous outdoors.
