REDNESDAY!


It's REDNESDAY over at It's A Very Cherry World, where Sue is our hostess every week! I only have two flea market finds to share this week.

First up is this bread box. I didn't find it very exciting when I saw it, especially since the lid was laying on the ground, upside down.

But when I picked up the lid and saw that there were polka dots on it, I knew I had to have it! And it was only 50 cents, so it would have been stupid not to take it home with me. It's a little beat up, but it works just great as a catchall.

And last up is this old bank, which will be a perfect addition to my patriotic decorations. Oh, and I guess the vintage tablecloth underneath qualifies as a REDnesday entry too!
If you would like to see more reds, please head over to Sue's right now!

  2. You can't pass up a 50 cent bargain. I can see that bread box being a great catch all.
    All I could think of when I saw your bank was that it will be perfect for Joan's Vintage 4th of July party next year!

  30. Carol, love your blog bling!!

    Love the bread box...yummy.

    I sure hope you are willing to drive to the next closest BigLot for treasures. This was not MY store but had tons of treasures, better than what is at mine.

  31. Hi Carol, it was so nice of you to stop by my blog and leave a comment! Dick and Jane, I too remember them well! Do kids today have characters in their text books they will remember 50 years from now? Probably not!
    Your bread box is so cute and what a steal! TFS, Nan
