Beautiful! The pieces are amazing and so elegantly designed for two! I get excited when I go into a store and see a beautiful basket with plastic silverware. I can only imagine the heart- felt pleasure that came with such a beautiful setting!!

Someone should purchase this picnic set then Donate it to an institution.
That's a win/win.

No wonder the Paris Commune rebelled, and the 2nd Imperium, was destroyed after the Franco-Prussian War.

I like the way fabulously rich people are known for their "taste and style." All that means is that you have enough riches to buy (or order made) really expensive shit. I want to see these so called taste makers celebrate someone poor for their excellent taste and style.
