We're back in the kitchen for REDnesday! I always think that I have no more reds to share, but then I look around, and there's still more!
First is a little napkin holder that I found in a thrift store in Wisconsin. Also a place mat, and a little polka dot jar that was in my stocking this past Christmas. Can't believe there's still conversation hearts in there. I think the fact that they are like little pebbles might have something to do with it! Don't buy conversation hearts from the dollar store!
A goofy chicken potholder. I actually have a couple of these, and I got them at an antique store. They're very old, but very well made. Haven't burned my hands yet!
And finally, the old classic. Doesn't everyone have this cookbook? Isn't it mandatory?
I do love the pictures in this book. I want that little girl figurine standing guard over the mashed potatoes, or whatever that big mound is!
This ham picture actually makes my mouth water! Great presentation, isn't it?
Love everything about this picture, from the corn cob holders to the table to those plates. I want those plates!
Eggs A La Goldenrod. On a beautiful plate. I thought that was actual goldenrod topping those eggs, and almost had an allergic reaction just looking at it! But it's only sieved egg yolks. Close call!
Are you enjoying the Olympics as much as I am? Tonight is the men's short program for figure skating. Go Evan Lysacek! Illinois Boy!!
Now if you would like to see more reds, head over to It's A Very Cherry World, where Sue is our hostess each and every week!

Hi Carol,
I am so happy you read my comment and found my blog, Chicory Nits.
Most people have never heard of the Carmel Cottages, so it is nice to have someone to share with. Love the cook book and the pretty pictures in them. I will be joining Rednesday for the first time.
Have a great night.
Hugs, Carey
Hi Carol - oh, I do love the napkin holder best! That's right up my alley!
Love that rosie RED napkin holder...and no, I do NOT have a Betty C picture cook book...Feel free to send me yours! 8^D
P.S. - I do love your header! You know me and old cottages!
Love your reds today! Kitchen reds are always great. Guess I better get my reds in action. Love the ice skating and go Evan!!!
The polka dot jar is very cute. I have the same book!!! and I never thought of it as red until now!!!
;-P
Hi Carol,
Yes, I think it is mandatory that we all have the Betty Crocker cookbook....I can't say that I use mine much though :-)
Jane
Hi Carol,
Love all your reds! I like that little figurine too. She reminds me of Scarlet O'Hara. That napkin holder is my favourite! Happy REDnesday!
Blessings,
Sandi
Carol,
I love that sweet little napkin holder! And that cookbook....I am still trying to find one! LOL Doesn't it feel kind of nice not to have to worrya bout a holiday for a little bit?????
You crack me up! I need one of those figurines too! Someone in our house always sneaks into the mashed potatoes after I've sculpted them like in that picture.
Thanks for the fun post today!
That goofy chicken potholder is the bomb! If he wouldnt make a cranky cook smile I dont know what would. I would know, having to cook dinner at the end of a long work day makes me cranky- and he made me smile!
Great find for Rednesday. I like that goofy pot holder makes me smile ^_^

My sister and I love to look at cookbooks from the 1950's just to see the dinnerware! I have that same Betty Crocker cookbook and it is one of my favorites!
Love all your reds, they'd fit right in my kitchen. ;) And of course I have that cookbook, I thought everyone did!
Between that napkin holder and that Humpty Dumpty Valentine I can hardly take the fun over here my Old Glory friend. You will be especially busy in the Magical Attic tomorrow...You are the best hunter in the attic I've ever seen...
That napkinholder is just gorgeous! I love red roses! Happy rednesday!
Hi Carol,
Oh, I will have to participate in this. Maybe next week. Love your reds. I have this cookbook too. It was my moms.
Debbie
I'm soo glad I found your site!
I knew a bloggie called Old Glory Cottage was going to be ever so cute!
Perfectly adorable.
Warm blessings,
Spencer
very happy, festive pics.
The mound scares me a little, "I'll take the white stuff over there." But, if it's potatoes they found a cool mold to make it festive looking.
Hi Carol,
I'm afraid I'm in love with your rose trellis napkin holder...ya don't see those just anywhere. Cool vintage Betty Crocker cookbook, too. Love the pretty red and white graphics. But, I absolutely ADORE your little Dutch couple cloth under the BC cookbook! I've started collecting Dutch-themed stuff. Oh, and the chicken potholder is soooo cute.
Happy REDnesday! You've got some real winners there.
I love looking through the old books too to see the dishes, glassware and even the tablecloths used! Your napkin holder is the best. Judi
Love that chicken potholder. How cute is that?
Hi Carol,
Thanks for the info about my link problem for Rednesday. I emailed and commented to Sue. Have a great day and thanks again.
Carey
I enjoyed seeing all of your fun "reds." Love that cute header, too!!!
I have red in my kitchen, its such a cheerful colour. The napkin holder is lovely and the cookbook is fab, great pictures. I enjoy watching the figure skaters too X
Dear Carol. I would like to purchase one ticket for Spring please lol
That girl opening the gate is very precious also. I love the vintage feel to your pretty blog.
I can't pick favourites because I love them all.
I'm so glad your enjoying the Olympics. You would LOVE Vancouver.
Happy Rednesday
Love Claudie
oxoxo
Uh oh - I don't have that cookbook! No more cooking for me, I guess. I adore that napkin holder!
Hi Carol, I'm so sorry I haven't been by lately, seems like ages! I had a crazy week and mangaed to get a few posts up but didn't get to visit much.
Took me a long time to figure out the "chicken" pot holder!
Hugs,
Dawn
So many gorgeous reds! I see that Evan got the gold. Have a great weekend. :) Tammy
Your right, I DO have that book...lol.
