The warm weather started early this year, which has me dining al fresco more often than not. My interior designer's tip: Your outdoor tablescape should be just as charming as your indoor. If you need a little help in that department, Joanna Gaines' Magnolia in collab with Hearth & Hand for Target has just launched with some picnic worthy gems, from earthy tonal to classic checks. Browse the whole collection to fill in pieces like a picnic tote, shade canopy and gardening tools. Check out my favorites below, and create an entertaining haven for your family and guests this summer that will keep them outdoors, enjoying your garden and that long awaited sunshine.
