It was kind of muddy where it was held, but when I saw this breadbox from afar, the mud almost sucked my shoes off as I hurried towards it!
I think it's my favorite red find. EVER! I don't even know where I'll put it. In the kitchen? In the dining room with all of the picnic baskets? On top of the armoire in the bedroom? So many possibilities, but for now it's just sitting on the dining room table, where I can just stare at it in wonder!
I also got this little angel and devil figurine there. I've seen these on Ebay before. Very expensive. He's missing his little pitchfork, but maybe I can fashion one for him. Sometimes I feel like the devil has got me by the hand as I'm garage saling, or antiquing. I saw alot of things that I would have liked to have bought at that flea market, but after finding this, the angel prevailed and I came home with most of my money! Now please head over to Sue's to see more REDS!

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Crack me up...shoes sucked off...
I think you can fashion a pitchfork for your little devil...how about a wire hanger?
Great bread box! I would have sprinted for it, too!!
You always find the best stuff! Love your header picture. Mimi
WOW...You are so lucky to find that bread box...what can you possibly stick in it...
Plant it?
Yarn in it"
A cute toy box"
Garden Tools?
Cookie cutters galore?
Color crayons galore?
Oh, the wonder of it all. I've got a little naughty devil going on in me that yells in my ear...
You have to have it!!!
Yikes! Were the trouble twins!
Happy second day of summer!
I've having a great evening...Lens at his Band of Brothers mens group and I'm in my Band of Ladies blogging group! Yippee!
Great breadbox!! It would go in my potting shed to hold something. I'm sure you will figure out a good use for it.

What? More cute finds? How can you keep doing this to us? :) That little devil and angel are really cute and the box is adorable. You sure have a good eye Carol!
I love the little flower cart on that picnic basket. I'm surprised you didn't have to "mud" wrestle someone for it! Good thing the little devil lost his pitchfork, he was quite as convincing with out it huh? Now you'll still have some cash for next weekend!
Hugs,
Dawn
Your blog is so fun! Everything in red, white and blue, even the letters! I agree this was a find and a half.....but I really love that picnic basket in your banner!
I would have had to fight you for that cute breadbox! :)
I have the canister set that matches that breadbox, and they are cute.
Carol. I didn't join the Reds party today, but had to come over here and check out yours. I'm so glad I did. What an awesome breadbox. I've never seen that pattern on one before. Luck, lucky you! The angel and devil are so cute ,too. Happy Day!
Great find, it couldn't have found a better home. :)
Love, love your new banner!
Fabulous fimds! I love your story of the mud almost sucking your shoes off, lol!! I have one of those bread boxes (mine has a red top and the bottom is kind of gold with flowers), and I love it. A yard sale find from years ago :)
Blessings!

Oh Carol! That is the cutest bread box! So glad you got it! It will be perfect any place in your house! That figurine is adorable. Never seen any like it. Have a wonderful week! Twyla
Well Carol, I think that angel was on your side when you found that box! I posted some reds today- come see!
BTW, Your new header is fab! ♥
That breadbox is a most wonderful find...enjoy it...blessings
Oh a nice bread box for sure!! I think it is great that the Devil is missing his pitchfork--it may mean good days are ahead! Ha!
Hi Carol!
You're so cute, glad you were able to grab that bread box and keep your shoes on. So darling!
I've never seen an angel and devil figurine before, where have I been?!
Happy Rednesday,
Sally
Ah your finds are gorgeous again! Do you have these plastic french fries' forks over there? One of them would make a lovely devils' fork! I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who buys something incomplete when it really is too cute!
Oh Thanks for stopping by Girl in Air...I'm your newest follower! Love the bread box!!
Red with a flower cart, and a flower cart with an umbrella? Amazing. Love your blog re-do, too.

That cute box would be a great display. I bought an old suitcase at a garage sale once. I decoupaged the insides and left it open on a table for a long time. In it I had various vignettes. In terms of your little devil, if all else fails, you might hot glue a golf tee to his little hand!
Brenda
I'm with you. I love that breadbox as well. Delightful! :)
Your tin box is adorable, what a cute find. Your blog is cute too you have so many wonderful vintage items.
Heather
I love your house! Stopping by from Southern Comfort in a northern life.
Hi Carol,
What a sweet breadbox! I would have grabbed it too! So fun. You find the greatest treasures!
Debbie
Oh Wow, what a great bread box! What good condition it's in...somebody tried to take care of it. LOL.. trudge thru mud... I'd've waded if need be. Hey that little figurine is great. It'd make a great icon for all us Vintage Archeologists!!!
Okay your description of the mud nearly sucking your shoes off had me laughing!!!
I just love the breadbox! The color and graphic are wonderful. Did you feel like 20 more people were chasing you to snatch it? I always do and yet no other person is behind me LOL
LOVE it!
Thank you for the comment! I am so excited to find your site and am so jealous! You have so many wonderful and interesting finds on your site. I especially love all the wonderful kitchenware!
Unfortunately in Southern CA retro has become very popular which means the flea markets are very expensive and although I love searching through yard sales and second hand stores I can't always find the time. I am now a follower and can’t wait to see what other interesting items you find!

Posted a little post about you today! Loved hearing your dream cottage dreams...I'm with you all the way. Can I be your neighbor?
O my!! I just adore the breadbox and your figurine!! I laughed at the comment about the mud almost sucking your shoes off!! LOL!!
And I also think your header is so charming!!
Debbie
What cute things!!
Had to laugh in agreement--yes, sometimes the devil has me by the hand at thrift stores, estate sales, yard sales, too!
I find stuff I didn't even think I needed!
What a beautiful bread box--should you have too much trouble trying to figure out where to put it, I'll give you my address and save you the pain.

I was skipping around different blogs and found you. I am SO GLAD I did! First of all I was in love with everything you were showing, then the sounds of the birds and water came on and I was instantly back in a tiny town in Kansas where I used to visit my grandma. That is exactly the sounds I would hear while I sat out on her front porch swing. Then as I was scrolling further I came across a little German weather barometer thingy and she had one I would play with just like it. All of a sudden I had tears in my eyes from such beautiful memories. Thank you for bringing back wonderful warm memories and sharing all the stuff that I adore. Your my new best friend. I'll be visiting you A LOT!!!! Kelli
Hi Carol Sweetie...
Oh my gosh, I think I would have raced you through the mud to that breadbox. We might have been mud wrestling before we were through. Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh sweetie she is a beauty for sure, and I adore the little devil and angel find. Even without the pitchfork, he says please take me home. How could you resist?
I can't wait to see your Pink Post. I will pop back over and welcome you. I love pink.
Thank you for stopping by and checking on me. I could not have gotten through this shut in without all the prayers, love and visits. I go back to the doc on July 9th and I am hoping he will release me to the outdoors.
Many hugs sweetie and so much love, Friends always, Sherry
Ooops, I'm too early for Pink Saturday, but I wanted to send you a big WELCOME while I was here!
Sherry @ A Happy Valentine
