Summer Porch Decorating
{Picnic Basket}
Ilove picnic baskets — do you? They instantly evoke summer: warm days, fresh air, and relaxed moments with friends or family. A picnic basket is more than a container; it’s a cheerful accent for your porch and a reminder to slow down and enjoy the season.
I’ve used picnic baskets in my home for years — as side tables, storage, and of course for actual picnics. They bring a charming, homey vibe wherever they sit. When I spotted a colorful picnic basket from DaySpring, I immediately pictured it on a sunny porch, welcoming guests and adding a playful pop of color.
Unlike fresh flowers that can wilt in the heat, a vibrant picnic basket will hold its charm all season long. It’s practical, decorative, and easy to care for. When autumn arrives, simply tuck it away for storage — and bring it back out next summer to instantly refresh your porch decor.
This particular basket features inspiring words printed on the lid, and I love the contrast between the muted gray lid and the colorful patchwork on the sides and interior. It’s eye-catching, durable, and simple to clean — perfect for everyday use or occasional entertaining.
Alongside the basket, a little chalkboard is a delightful accessory for porch life. Chalkboards are versatile: use them to leave sweet notes, announce special occasions, or write a warm welcome for guests. They look charming in every season and help personalize your outdoor space.
I wanted to share these sweet summer touches with you, so I asked my friends at DaySpring to join in the fun and offer a giveaway so readers could enjoy a picnic basket and chalkboard of their own.
So today, just for fun, we are going to give away 10 sets of the picnic basket and chalkboard! YAHOO! That means 10 of you are going to win!

Where would you go and what would you eat on your perfect picnic?
For me, the ideal picnic combines natural beauty and comfort: a shady spot in a big park near a waterfall or on a quiet stretch of beach. My basket would hold simple, nostalgic treats — crunchy corn chips, cold strawberry lemonade, and fudgy brownies. It’s the kind of menu that sparks happy memories and keeps things delightfully uncomplicated.
