In The Kitchen For REDnesday!
Big thanks to Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for hosting REDnesday, and also for creating such cute graphics each and every week!
I was sure I wasn't going to be able to join in this week. I couldn't think of a single red thing to share. But then I looked up and noticed how badly I needed to dust, and I saw a few more things. Like the old egg carton, and the cake carrier. Sorry, I didn't dust before I took the pictures. I'll do that later!
I have no idea what was originally in this jar, but it says on the rim "When empty use this table jar for sugar, jams, jellies, honey, pickles". So I followed orders, and put sugar cubes in it! I love the little glass knob.
I thought this jar was appropriate for Easter. I've had it a very long time, but it didn't have a lid when I got it, so for now it has one that isn't the right size. I've been carrying the measurements around with me for years, hoping for a better fit. One of these days I know I'll find one!
Let's pop outside for this last red. It's an old sprinkler, and it says "It Gets The Corners" on it. It gets the corners all right, and usually me and everything else in it's path! I can't wait 'til it's time to use it again!! The gardens are going crazy with new life, and although it takes alot of work, it's so rewarding. If you're a gardener, you know what I mean! I hope this week brings you all beautiful weather to play outside in!

Carol,
You always have such wonderful items to post!! Love that sprinkler!!!
I was wondering when you were going to run out of red things..and then you came thru again! I am also ready for my garden to come in full force - having a late chilly bit of weather tho!
Oh I just love that jar with the sugar cubes! Where did you find one like that? I save alot of jars just cuz there're so cool and made out of glass for storing many different items in! The egg carton is great too! Take care, Fran. XO
Hi Carol!
Such cute reds! I love that littlejar with sugar cubes!
Awesome reds!! I love the little jar!!
Hugs, Lisa
Ya just had to show something for the garden that I must now FIND!! hehehe!! As always Carol, I find all of your posts filled with humor and you treasures a delight! Judi
You always find such great reds. I'm in the kitchen this week too! The jar is just so cute. The bunny jar is too. I have some of those sprinklers too. Ours were orange (and then they were stolen out of our front yard) and the new ones we purchased are black. They work great, but I'm glad we installed a sprinkler system now.
At least the dust bunnies are hiding when you haven't dusted. Mine are brazen whenever I take a pic..they come out and smile for the camera. lol
That sugar jar is just darling! I have that same glass canister with the red/yellow bunnies, etc. on it!
Congratulations on your Sweet Bee win - you lucky dog!
Such adorable red items for us all to drool over. I'm particularly drawn to the red sprinkle, love it!
Oh Carol! That sugar jar! That sprinkler! You always come up with cool things.
Hello carol,
What a lovely red items you show today. And I als love your vintage easter items also. You have a very beautiful blog.
Greetings from Holland,

Where to start! I love all of your vintage items. I especially love the little jar that you put sugar cubes in. ~ Dandelion Farmgal
Happy Rednesday back to you. That is a fun theme post. Maybe one day I'll get busy and join the fun! The dice are rolling in the DOLLOPOLY BOARD...wow, I'm having a blast blogging! Didn't even know I had it in me! I've mailed your box to you on Monday!
I always stop here first for Rednesday, you never disappoint. I have been getting more red put together so I will be back to the party next week. I just might have to go check out Goodwill for red. Hey a girl has to do what a girl has to do.... right? Have a good day.
Hi Carol! Boy that container with the little glass knob is cute! I have your same biscuit jar and will also keep an eye open for a lid for you. Two pairs of eyes are better than one! Have a great week ahead! Elizabeth
LOVE your little sugar cube jar!.. And that old sprinkler is great! I'm always fascinated with old things like that!.. It doesn't matter much what it is.. Everything has a history or a story! Happy Rednesday! ~tina
Carol,
Love that old sprinkler. Give me rust and I am happy!
re match boxes: I got them at a Fred Meyer. They are under $2.00 for 10. (we heat with a wood stove so use he matches). If you have seen any of my old posts you know I have been covering them with music paper and my teabag roses.
These will be a bit different though.
Great idea using those boxes for Patriotic decor!
Thanks for coming by.

Hi Carol,
Love the jar with the words on it!!! I haven't seen one before.
The sprinkler is sweet too. I have a "thing" for jars..
Easter Blessings.
Warmly,
Deb :)
Grrreat cake carrier, Carol. Love the sweet vintage glassware, too. Cute old sprinkler. Happy REDnesday~
More incredibly cute stuff, Carol! Love the egg carton and sprinkler.
What size jar lid do you need? You just never know what your readers might come across!
Dust? What does that mean?:) I tell everyone that if they can see the dust, then they are standing too close! Love everything!
You have some lovely red treasures! I hope that you enjoy the warm spring-time weather.
Blessings and best wishes for a Happy Easter,
Natasha.
I love the egg carton...sooo cool!
