Find out how to breath life into an old suitcase by turning it into a charming picnic basket.
I also love the idea of using an old vintage suitcase as a picnic basket because the case can double as a small table if you are laying on the grass or sand and need a hard surface to place drinks, plates, etc.

Have a summer ice cream picnic - simply pack up some favorite sundae toppings, waffles bowls, etc. Don't forget the spoons, napkins and an ice cream scoop; then just swing by a store near your picnicking spot to pick up some ice cream. A picnic that couldn't be any sweeter!
