It's been a tumultuous week and you may have notice that the usual Etsy Tuesday and Kitchen Envy posts are lacking...they will be back next week! In the meantime, there are some great treats on the web right now such as the Toast brand House and Home s/s 2010. There are some great picks in this collection for an outdoor picnic in the summer, (one can but dream eh?). Check out the full collection <a href="http://www.toast.co.uk/category.aspx?categoryid=TABLEWARE&amp;seoterm=TABLEWARE&amp;">here</a>, and enjoy some of the pieces below.

<a href="http://www.toast.co.uk/product/TABLEWARE/6AEM3/Enamel+Mug.htm">French made enamel picnic ware</a>...such as this mug. Not as grotty as your old camping mug, but reminisicent of the spirit of camping trips past. Available in primary colours, red, yellow and green.

This large one is pretty nifty. It has 6 dinner plates, 6 saucers, spoons and compartments galore! Definitely what you need to port your warm goods for the next group outing.

<img src="http://media.toast.co.uk/stormsites/toast/images/products/large/6CPB3_1.jpg" alt="Perfect picnic basket" width="300/">

Quite possibly the most perfect <a href="http://www.toast.co.uk/product/TABLEWARE/6CPB3/Picnic+Basket.htm?categoryref=%2fcategory.aspx%3fcategoryid%3dTABLEWARE%26seoterm%3dTABLEWARE%26&amp;pcat=TABLEWARE">picnic basket</a>..I have always, always dreamed of going on a picnic and using a basket such as this. Nuff said. It's the stuff my gastro-dreams are made of..lol

<img src="http://media.toast.co.uk/stormsites/toast/images/products/large/6KRT2_2.jpg" alt="Handblown Glasses" width="300/">

Colourful <a href="http://www.toast.co.uk/product/TABLEWARE/6KRT2/Coloured+Handblown+Glasses.htm?categoryref=%2fcategory.aspx%3fcategoryid%3dTABLEWARE%26seoterm%3dTABLEWARE%26&amp;pcat=TABLEWARE">handblown drinking glasses</a>...these jeweled toned glasses are on my wishlist! I think they are so beautiful and precious. Enough to cheer up even the dullest of days. Great for the home and even greater for a picnic! Goodness knows I hate plastic cups..these would be a great substitute.

All of this and more is available on the <a href="http://www.toast.co.uk/category.aspx?categoryid=TABLEWARE&amp;seoterm=TABLEWARE&amp;">Toast.co.uk</a> website!!
