a sunny afternoon picnic launch party // smitten studioTwo weeks ago today I launched my line of American made goodies, A Sunny Afternoon. To celebrate its debut, I grabbed a bunch of friends and hit the park for a picnic fit for the occasion.

I gathered my napkins and boards, packed up a couple baskets full of yummy treats, and rolled out a few blankets for a super simple evening picnic.

A special thank you to those of you that have bought a piece of this first collection. A few of the items have sold out already and quantities are dwindling. If there is an item that is out of stock and you’d like to see it come back, shoot me an email through the contact form. Some pieces will carry through to the next collection and some, once they’ve sold out, will be gone.

Another thank you to my creative and inspiring friends that made it out to celebrate A Sunny Afternoon and its debut into the world. I probably could not have done it without your support…

… And the biggest thank you to Rupert for putting up with my “creative messes”, late night work sessions, and for always believing the impossible is possible. 🙂
