early wedding presents

the first few presents have started to arrive and it's amazing how generous and thoughtful everybody is! i just have to post pictures of this present, it's so cute! it's a picnic basket for two. made from willow (i think)



the two flaps open out and hold the cutlery and plates,





and the most gorgeous wooden mushroom salt and pepper shakers!



the mugs and plates are printed with these mushrooms, and the whole basket is lined with bright red and white polka dot cotton



it also came with a picnic blanket (water repellent on one side, woolly on the other)

as far as i can see it's from the avoca shop, and the little tag says it's actually made in muenster, germany! where i'm from! i wonder did she know this or is it a coincidence?
