It wasn’t really a lovely day for a picnic at all… I just like quoting Little Women as much as I possibly can. Anyway! I have the kind of fun task of designing the t-shirt for our annual company picnic. We’re doing a one color print on a Kelly green shirt.

In the meantime, I’ve been looking at pretty picnicing pictures for inspiration (even though the shirts will look nothing like these). Enjoy!
Picnic at Hanging Rock (Weir, 1975), an Australian film about a group of girls on a Boarding School trip to Hanging Rock. Taking place in the Victorian era, not only is this movie unsettling and eerie, but it’s also delightfully beautiful – a combination that makes this movie a must-see.

Just something I wanted to share on this mellow Wednesday. It’s gloomy and cold outside, but warm and calm inside. Here are the Born Ruffians performing Little Garçon, one of my favorite songs off of their Red, Yellow & Blue album. It gets groovy around 1:52… wait for it. This version is a bit different than the album version, still good though. Enjoy, and happy Wednesday.
