" A humble picnic table can be set with as much care as your fine dining table. Surround yourself with beauty \u2014 with thoughtfully prepared treats presented in a memorable way. Dress up a wooden picnic table with an embroidered cotton or lace runner. Use wooden clothespins or a few strategically placed bowls and plates to anchor the cloth. Add color with centerpieces made by filling white ceramic pitchers with bright summer blooms \u2014 roses, lilies, orchids, and sunflowers are in season. Forget the paper plates! Serve meals on easy-to-clean enamelware in playful country patterns, such as the bandanna-printed plates (above) from Golden Rabbit; from $8.95. goldenrabbit.com. Go casual with old mismatched silverware found at flea markets and garage sales \u2014 the utensils are nicer than plastic and reduce waste.  SIMPLE SERVERS  Handmade from organically grown bamboo, Bambu&amp;#039;s Lacquerware Bowls have modern appeal; $13 to $45. bambuhome.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
