Since I don't have a single new red thing to share, I guess it's time to start re-sharing some things from Rednesdays past. Hey, the stuff needed dusting anyway....
Mr. Old Glory gave me this cake carrier a couple of Christmases ago, and it's still a favorite. It's only for decoration though, because it's a bit too rusty to hold a real live cake in it.
An old Blue Magic Krispy Kan cracker tin. Have you ever seen one of these before? Back in the day, you would take that glass knob off the lid, heat it in the oven, replace the knob, and it would absorb any moisture and keep your crackers fresh and crisp. I love the cracker flowers!
I found this little jar at a St. Vincent DePaul thrift store, minus a lid. A worker was boxing up alot of the glassware, getting ready to throw it all away, so I felt it only right to rescue the jar. That was many years ago, and I'm still looking for a lid that fits!
I might as well continue to take pictures as I dust, just in case I don't find any new reds to share for next week! If you would like to see more reds, visit our hostess Sue at It's A Very Cherry World, and all of the other red-loving bloggers that have linked up!
THAT'S what those glass lids are for?? I had no idea! Oh, the fun things you can learn on the internet. :) I had to laugh, I have the same jar, and also have a not quite right lid sitting on it, someday!
ReplyDeleteBut what I really want to know is whether or not heating the knob works?!!Every time I see one I wonder if it was effective or not.That cake carrier is drool worthy.Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever seen one of those cracker tins before. I wonder if it really worked.
ReplyDeleteI love the green cups in the background of the cake carrier.
I love everything you have shared Carol. That is so interesting about the cracker can..Never heard of that..The cake dish is just glorious!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to find a jar like that one!

It's not as if I can even remember what I did yesterday, so even if I saw any of this before, I certainly wouldn't remember. The cake tin is fabulous, especially because I recently realized that anything with flower-pot motifs is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteVery cute reds! And that Krispy Cracker design looks very familiar. I'm wondering if my grandmother might not have had one! She was the BEST cook, and had every cute kitchen gadget you can think of. I wouldn't be surprised! Thanks for the lovely family memories and sweet visit. Happy Rednesday. :)
ReplyDeleteI also have a flowered metal cake carrier that is rusty and unusable but just as wonderful as can be--it sits on my kitchen table and looks fabulous. You always have the best stuff, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your new banner!
ReplyDeleteLove the cake carrier too! Sure could use some sunshine around here!
Warmly,
deb

ReplyDeleteHi, Carol,
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of your reds before, so I am enjoying them for the first time. My fav is that jar without the top. How cute. I can't believe he was going to throw it out. So glad you saved it. :)

I adore the cake carrier! I have a thing for the little flower pots on vintage kitchen items! SOOO cute!
ReplyDeleteThe jar is adorable with or without the lid! I couldn't imagine throwing that away. I am glad it got to come home with you!
Happy Spring!
You showing your reds before is fine with me. I never saw them so they are new to me.
ReplyDeleteI have the same cracker tin. Mine is aqua and was my grandmothers. I haven't tried heating the knob to see if it changes color.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I have had my eye on one of those decal jars. I keep finding the ones with the lid and the price will burn your fingers. Love how you rehabed it. Can you get your husband to call mine? My husband is past the jewelry stage and has entered the useful stage of gifting...vacuums and pots...its great...Smiles....Renee
ReplyDeleteWell, I never knew that about the glass knob on the cracker lid! What a fun piece of trivia. I love that cake carrier. it is so fun!
ReplyDeleteOH you are funny. Nothing like a post to make us dust and clean house! I've never cleaned and dusted so much...hahahaha....anyhow I love that cake plate holder thingamabob you showed. It is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou always have cute stuff...and some of us didn't see it the first time...heck show it all again!
Blessings,
Debbie
Love your "repost"! And, you learn something new every day. I had no idea that was what you did with those glass knobs!
ReplyDeleteI love the cake carrier what a beauty, dee x
ReplyDeleteYou've got lots of things I haven't seen!!!! So many fun collectibles!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Carol! I dont remember that cute cake carrier but who knows, maybe it's what made me want one of my own! Mine is too rusty to use too and my DIL doesn't quite "get" why I would even want it. :)
ReplyDeleteHows my happy go lucky Carol? You are so lucky to find the lucky finds that you do!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a lucky day in the Fairyland and beyond.
My mind travels to your home where I'd like to be.
Happy spring and everything!

Oh.... sweet little containers! So pretty! Love your holiday blog banner and your idea of putting pictures for collections on your sidebar. Might have to use that idea!
ReplyDeleteMary
You always have beautiful reds to share and even if we may have saw them before, we never tire of them!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
happy dusting and Happy rednesday... I love them all but, especially love your cracker tin...I would be thrilled to have that one...tee hee. Thanks for sharing...and hey, getting that Spring cleaning out of the way is great too!!! Mica/The Child's Paper
ReplyDeleteI often feel as if once a post falls off the front page it descends into the obis of lost post to never be seen again. So, it is nice to occasionally give one of them a chance to return to the sunshine and a whole new group of viewers.
ReplyDeleteNice revisit.
These red items are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeletereally cute items aka amazing finds.
ReplyDeleteths for stopping by our blog, and yes, do try making some fruit-shaped beads. they are just a joy to add to home decor as well as necklaces & charm bracelets.
HI Carol, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I guess you can say that I love vintage furniture. I'm loving all of your vintage stuff. I need to post more pictures of the tons of treasures that I have found through the years. It's nice to find people who understand the obsession and appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteMarianne :)
What wonderfully nostalgic items!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour cake dish is simply divine. Happy Rednesday!
ReplyDeleteYour cracker can makes me smile - somehow I can just hear the person who designed that saying "Let's make something pretty out of saltines." :-)
ReplyDeleteI like that red tin can! What a great collection.
