guest post: Outdoor Dining.
Guest Blogger: Nicolle of Sacred Lotus Photography.
Hello everyone, my name is Nicolle from Sacred Lotus Photography. I am very excited to be one of the guest bloggers here this week on sfgirlbybay.
With the sun finally making an appearance here in rainy Portland, Oregon my mind has been filled with thoughts of eating every meal outside and making fresh squeezed lemonade. There is just something about the warm sun hitting my face while enjoying a good meal that makes me so very happy!
As summer rolls in, so do daydreams of packing up the family and heading to the park to enjoy a lovely sunny picnic.
Want a simple way to pack up a picnic for two? Then check out XXD’s Folding Picnic Set. It’s eco-friendly, small, and ready anytime for that spontaneous picnic!

makes me want to pack a picnic lunch and head out for a lovely park somewhere…
I’m already looking forward to summer picnics! Thanks for the inspiration =)
Love these outdoor table settings-especially the use of ferns and plantlife as knapkin rings. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
So nice… I did my first picnic last week, and it is such a pleasure to do it again :-)
hi Nicolle! so good to see you here. Such gorgeous shots, as always. you make me wish I could eat outside every day. xo
Lovely ideas Nicolle! Now I’m inspired to have a picnic, good thing we (Canada) have a long weekend this week!

How lovely are these pictures and images. I especially love the spring feeling and crisp light in the pics. I hope you had a great weekend :)
If you’re ever in Seattle try the Hi Spot for a nice alfresco brunch. We were there this weekend and enjoyed French Toast and amazingly good espresso under the beaming Seattle sun. Perfect!

You have inspired me to make a picnic date. Beautiful pictures.
How elegantly bohemian!
