REDNESDAY


Please make sure to drop in over at It's A Very Cherry World, where Sue hosts this RED party every week. You'll find a long list of other RED lovers there!

I know I've shown this breadbox in many other pictures, but I've never shared it for REDnesday. I love the little green flowerpots on it!

It sits on top of my green cabinet, and I think it fits right in with my picnic basket collection.

And here we have some old flour sifters. And although I don't like to cook, I have used these a time or two when I was baking a cake. Don't things taste better when you use vintage kitchen tools? I think so too!
Well that's it for me and my REDS. Now head over to Sue's to see lots more!

Just hopped by to see what you were up to this week. Looks like you have been having some fun. Love your reds...they bring back some fun memories!
Loved your post on the little opossom. We found a little garter snake here. Don't you just love things that make you go eeeekkkkk! No wonder old people walk with a cane. It's to whack the movers.
Hugs- Tete

I really like those flour sifters. I've seen some at antique malls that were unusual and I've thought that it would be a neat thing to collect but I just don't know where I would put them.
I always enjoy seeing your reds.

Hi Carol! I always enjoy looking at your little vignette there! Also, I can't believe you found a Santa creamer - I've never seen one before - nice!

I like your header graphic, but where's your name? If I didn't know it was you, I wouldn't know it was you!

I do not cook anymore either. It is hard to get the desire to cook for one. If I needed a sifter, I would want your red one.

Things always taste better when prepared with vintage kitchen utensils. Honest they do. I think it imparts Grandma's love into the taste. Thanks for your nice comment the other day. Yes I have had to part with a lot of things for my daughter's college bill. I don't regret that for her education. Thanks for sharing.

I just love all your tin ware...the vignettes look so cheery and definitely make my heart sing girl...I love surrounding myself with items that make me smile...and your blog is definitely one that makes me smile each time I come here.

Unknown said...

Learned something new...you are not a Suzie Homemaker? You don't like to cook eh? I don't like it much either. I can cook, and it helps if you have some cute vintage wares to make the task more happy.
I'm a meatloaf, baked chicken, taco's the basic kind of cooking.
However, I gave birth to a cook...she LOVES to cook! Thank God, I will never go hungry with her around.
Hope you are able to join my for Fairyland Friends. It's a journey back to my childhood in the Fairyland. Some cute stories and experiences for sure!
