REDNESDAY!

This old clock has lived quite a life! It originally hung in the kitchen when I was a little girl, then in my bedroom as a teenager, then in my nephew's retro bedroom, and now it's made it's way to my kitchen!

When I saw this plate at a thrift store last week, I got really excited. I'd seen one just like it a few weeks ago on Shirl's blog, and I fell in love with it. Shirl's son Bob is in the Army and recently came home for a visit. Thank goodness for people like Bob, who are keeping our country safe!

I also found this little book bank, that was made in Japan, at a thrift store for a quarter. You wouldn't be able to save very many pennies in it, but as it says, a penny saved is a penny earned!
If you've just got to see more reds, then you should head over to It's A Very Cherry World, where Sue is our hostess, and visit all of the other blogs showing off their reds!

Rednesday-Linens and A Baby Quilt

I had to dig pretty deep to come up with a Rednesday entry today, but I eventually found a few things to share!

I've had this baby quilt for many years, and it has sweet little farm scenes hand embroidered on it.

A barn and windmill. That barn could use a brand new coat of red thread!

A little boy playing the banjo, serenading......

the little girl sitting on the fence. She looks enthralled, doesn't she? She wouldn't be the first girl who had her head turned by a musician!

The old apple tree, with a couple of chicks eating their feed.

I've tried several times to get the stains out of this quilt, but I guess it's going to require a good long soak. I've heard Biz works, some swear by Oxy Clean. What works for you?

A couple of old kitchen towels.


An old piece of fabric with a picnic theme.

I want that old thermos!

This pattern is so un-PC, with the pack of cigs sitting there as part of the dessert!
That's all for me this fine REDnesday. If you'd like to see more reds, visit our hostess Sue at It's A Very Cherry World!
