REDNESDAY -




Happy Rednesday, everyone! Mister came home with this moth last week for me to photograph and i.d. I realized that it was in front of my yard flag - perfect for Rednesday! Oh, and it's a Giant Leopard Moth.

This is an older umbrella that has a pretty floral design.

Close up of the handle. "Handle Made in Italy"

Picked up this thermos at the church yard sale on Friday, along with some umbrella picks.


Also got this serving platter and two dinner plates at the church also. It's called Memory Lane, and I already have four dinner plates, one soup bowl, and a creamer and sugar.

Two Gaillardia in the garden.

  2. Ms. Sue,
    Ahh...a beautiful selection of "reds"! I love the umbrella. I will have to gather my "red" together this evening but I wanted to pop over early and say a big THANK YOU for my Giveaway gifts from you. My letter carrier left them on my front step this afternoon. Despite the shower that soaked the box I'm happy to say all the goodies arrived in perfect condition. It was like Christmas in June opening up all the little packages. How fun! Again, thank you so very much.
    Hugs

  5. I love that thermos and those umbrella sticks! I bet you could figure out how to use those umbrella sticks in a crafty, creative way!
    I made a huge mistake when I added my rednesday picture...I was supposed to add a picture of our coonhound, Daisy, wearing a red vintage bandana but instead I posted our cat, Henry, snuggled under a vintage granny square quilt! Oops!

  15. Now Sue, how can we be clear across the country from each other and have the exact same stuff? I have that exact flag and I collect those Memory Lane dishes. I have a bit more than a complete set of 8. Got most of mine on ebay. Those are some very familiar reds you've got! :)

  19. I see we have some things in common. I, too, have an older red umbrella, although, yours is much prettier. And I have some red and white transferware, very similar to yours. Cheers!

  20. Hi Sue! Thanks agin for hosting Rednsday. This is fun as usual.
    I love the redware.
    Hey ya know you can always build an outdoor wall......take post and anchor in the ground. Then take those prefabed 6x8 fence pieces. Ya know what I'm talkin about..folk use em to separate house yards..you see em at Lowe's all the time...anyway, you can do a single 8 ft long panel to back a seating area or take 2 and do a corner (have 2 walls haha) seating or table area. Hey if ya have no walls create em..LOL...Jim just groans.
