Todays lucky find

I have been thinking of a picnic set for about six months after seeing one in an antique store.

This tired little beauty was at City Mission today for $25.00

I will restore it and add a thermos and cutlery.  It will travel with me in my little French car.

    A marvellous find and that yellow colour is so vintage too. What an op shop treat

    Thank you all for your lovely comments. I'm not sure what type of cutlery.
    Should I go retro plastic handles or old bone and silver. ??
    I have a nice old tartan rug ready. My husband and I are going to test the set in City park.

    Chris, I have some retro colored handle knifes and forks that may suit - There is a pair per color. Could be perfect.
