I thought about these plates for a week and decided to go back to Home Goods and get them. Love them!
I love to sew and bought this at an antiques mall in Arkansas.
Story behind Raggedy Andy is-when I was 6 years old I already had had my Raggedy Anne doll for 2 years and she was my favorite. I slept with her every night. So of course I wanted Andy for Christmas. I saw the wrapped box under the tree and shook it and just knew that was it. Christmas morning I go to open that box and there were a pair of slippers! Oh my-disappointment. A few presents later there was the much awaited Andy Doll in a different size box. So there he is.
Little Tiddly Winks game in mushroom- what a cute game" box". Thanks you Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for hosting this party. Go check out everyone elses red and have a great Rednesday!Leslie
Ooh, what wonderful reds you have today! I too saw those plates, and am making a trip back to the city next week. Your picture is so inspiring that I'll be making a stop at Home Goods! Keep your fingers crossed that they are still on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteI posted a picture of a couple of red and white polka dot mushrooms as part of my Rednesday post, too. What a coincidence!
Fondly,

Love the old red sewing machine - what a find! Cute mushroom. You say it holds a tiddlywinks game? How clever ;) Happy REDS~
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI love visiting with you. You have such charming things and such a great eye! I'm suffering from serious envy and I Wanna's over your sewing machine - how cute is that?!
Is it a kitchen towel beneath the adorable polka dot plate? It's so darling.
And Andy and his high chair and his dishes too, you're killing me here.
I love that tiddly winks are inside of the toadstool, so much fun. (and I see you have vintage Oz books!)
Thank you for all the smiles. Happy Rednesday!

Wow! You have tons of great vintage treasures! I love it all. You're right, our kitchens are very similar. To be honest, I wish I hadn't gone with hardwood in there, it's a biatch to keep clean!

I wish there was a Home Goods near me, because I love those plates! That's so neat that you still have your Raggedy Ann and Andy, and that sewing machine is so sweet. I had one like that when I was a little girl, and I just recently asked my Mom where it is, and sadly she doesn't know what happened to it. One more thing to look for on Ebay, as I buy back my childhood one thing at a time!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday!

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Home Goods!! Must seek one out! That sewing machine is spectacular too-- but you know I really like those vintage Oz books.
ReplyDeleteThe book I thought was the Child's Garden of Verses is actually a Robert Louis Stevenson Reader-- I'm still going to blog about it and link back to your post. Thanks for visiting both of my blogs.

What delightful reds. I especially loved the polka dot plate! :) I also enjoyed the next post about vintage books - and spotted one of my favorites. I do love Eloise Wilkin! :) :) :) And one more "love" - I loved your Raggedy Ann and Andy doll story. How sweet! :)

Nuts! I can't decide which one I like best - I guess I'll choose the mushroom!
ReplyDeleteThose Garden of Verse books are a great item to collect - there are so many different covers - how fun!
Tiddly winks--used to soooo love that game as a child. It is a cute game box you have shown! Your doll seems to be in great shape!
