Leaf Picks! And Breakfast Bento

The other day my friend Julie came over to drop off the rest of my present. Really cute Leaf Picks!!!! I love them so much, and I couldn't wait to try them out. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try them out until today because yesterday was a very busy day.

The person she ordered them from online was late sending them out, so as an apology she sent two packages instead of one. So Now I have two packages of adorable leaf picks! Aren't they so cool?
All together I have:

• 6 Dark Green Leaf Double Picks
• 4 Light Green Leaf Double Picks
• 4 Dark Green Leaf Single Picks
• 6 Light Green Leaf Single Picks

I can't wait to have a big picnic where I can use all these picks. That would look really cute, and it makes eating fruit a lot easier then having a set of chopsticks for everyone at the picnic.

Here are some ideas for what you could skewer using the leaf picks:

• Cherry Tomatoes
• Olives
• Melon (cubes, balls, or cut into shapes like flowers)
• Cheese
• Grapes
• Cherries
• Strawberries
• Blueberries (if they are large ones)
• Citrus Fruit (Small Clementine, Mandarin Orange, etc.)
• Vegetables (cut into shapes like flowers)
• Quail Eggs
• Meatballs
• Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelet)
• Mini Hotdogs (cut into tulips or other flowers shapes)

Here is my breakfast today. I had my usual yogurt, fruit and cereal, but I dressed it up with one of my new leaf picks!

• Sliced Strawberries
• Small Strawberries (on Double Leaf Pick)
• Newman's Own Sweet Enough Honey Flax Flakes Cereal
• Yoplait Very Vanilla Yogurt Light
• Milled Flax Seeds (I tried to shape it into a flower, but it failed. I guess it's not a good shape to try with flax seed. The hearts and stars I've done before are much easier and nicer looking)
