My Favorite RED Find!

I went to a flea market at the cutest little country church on Saturday. They had a little bit of everything there, including alot of antiques.
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!

Apothecary Jars & Plastic Flowers







I have loved apothecary jars since I was a kid, and actually have one of my grandma's (second from left). There's really no explaining why I like plastic flowers. I know most people think that they are tacky, and they're probably right! I've had a hard time finding them around here. You would think that they would be easy to find at garage sales and flea markets, but that's just not the case. Maybe people thought that they were so awful looking that they just threw them out! Several of the flowers are from the incredibly generous Barbara
