I Love Red - Kitchen table

I'm linking up with Rednesday today.
I featured some pink mixing bowls on Beverly's Pink Saturday at
How Sweet the Sound.  I use them all the time.  I am using them today
with red plums.  But my red checked tablecloth is my red for today!

The plums in the bowl, the squash pickles and canned pears all
come from my parents-in-law's farm.  DH did the hot peppers!

My vintage cupboard is original to the kitchen.  My house smock is
hanging on the side.  DH and I eat some fantastic breakfasts here!

Now before you go, I want to show you a beautiful red house that
is just down the street!  Have a great week!  I've fallen in love
with RED :-)  Love, Lottie

In the Kitchen - Canisters

I was in the kitchen tonight and I was filling up my canisters, when I thought about how important it is to surround yourself with beauty and the things you love.  I love the colors and the shape and how they look on my kitchen counter.  Every time I walk in my kitchen, I see those canisters and smile. They also have special meaning to me because they were the first birthday gift I ever gave to myself  from me! Yes, I was over fifty years old before it occurred to me to give myself something for my birthday that I really wanted.

So,  I don't keep flour and sugar and meal in these...I have Swiss Miss chocolate packs in one, tea bags in another, individual Spenda packs in the smallest one, and "cookies" or healthy snack bars in the big one. Maybe because the canisters are so pretty, none of my sons or my husband ever open the lids to see what I have in there!

Love,

Lottie
