REDNESDAY



Hi everyone! It's hard to find good vintage Autumn graphics that aren't Halloween (or that haven't been used a million times). Now, mind you, artistically speaking, vintage Halloween graphics are awesome! But on the personal side Mister and I don't celebrate Halloween. So the above picture was edited to get rid of the witch flying her broom across the moon, some of the bats, and the words Trick or Treat. I changed a few colors and I think it looks pretty good!


Are any of you as clumsy as I am? I'm always bumping into things and tripping and stuff. (I think it's leftover from the double vertigo I had fifteen years ago.) Sunday, when we were getting into the truck after church, I grabbed the dash handle to hoist myself into the middle and landed hard on the seat belt buckle clicker-in thingy. OUCH! My butt is still sore!


At the thrift store this past Friday I found this cute little hen salt shaker. Yesterday while browsing  through the latest The Country House catalog I found this great sign that had me laughing out loud. So I cut it out, taped it to cardboard, and put it on the shelf with my hen. No one's noticed it yet!


Now, let's get technical about the color pink for a moment. Wikipedia says, "Pink is any of the colors between bluish red (purple) and red, of medium to high brightness and of low to moderate saturation."  Keeping that in mind I'm going to show you the cutest vintage case that was also at the thrift store.


It's in great shape - look what came inside it:


All kinds of sewing goodies! Some red, thank goodness! A few wood spools for my spool jar, pins, buttons, needles, cardboard bobbins (are those for regular machines?), and a few needle threaders. It's so much fun sorting through stuff like this!

How was your week? Full of red?

Oh, sewing goodies! Yay! What a great bonus to your adorable vintage case.
I'm not "clumsy" persay but I've been known to stub my toe on random things in the house. My husband on the other hand is super clumsy. I have told him that he could trip over a penny in the middle of the floor if it was there. LOL!
Hope your butt feels better, ha ha! :)

I LOVE your vintage Halloween redo - We do enjoy giving out goodies to the kids who come, along with cute pictures and coloring pages that share the love of God with them. But my grandkids all know - ghosts and witches are not done in my house :) Plenty of harvest friendly fun with other great things like cute scarecrows and colorful pumpkins! :) Have a blessed and beautiful week!

I am super clumsy myself...I don't remember where half my bruises came from! Thanks for letting me join in on the fun!

Hi Sue,
What great goodies you have given a new home. I, especially, like your cute little chicken...and, yes, I do agree that raising children is a bit like being pecked to death by a chicken. LOL!
Thank you for hosting and I hope you have a nice week, my friend,
Blessings,

I do not sew, but know you found a box of nice sewing goodies. You are not the only clumsy. I think we all do it. I keep bruises all the time.

I love the sewing case full of goodies. I passes on one at a thrift store awhile back and I'm sure regretting it now!

Breathing In Grace said...

I don't like Halloween, either and it's very difficult to find vintage "autumn" or "fall" without it having Halloween stuff in it!!! Love to look thru your red things....great post!!!

Donna said...

What a great find. That sewing case is so cute on the outside, and great stuff on the inside.
