Today for Rednesday I wanted to show you some of my thrifted findsthat I got this week and last week. Above is a cute wind up toy that works. Definitely my colors.
This little ceramic tomato is really cute. It's missing a little spoon, but I'll find something to replace it.
I saw this at an antique store and loved the vintage looking bluebirds. I'm so glad I didn't buy it , because there was one at my favorite thrift store. See the little red flowers?
I've been meaning to show you this quilt. I looked for a few years to find an affordable red and white quilt-no luck. So I got out the old sewing machine and made my own. I just hung it in the newly painted family room above the couch. I won't show you the couch-cuz it looks really bad. I'm working on that issue.
Last is a tablescape that I made up using my vintage plates. I will be joining a Tablescape party tomorrow for the first time. More about this later. Join Sue at It's a Very Cherry World to see more Reds. Thanks for joining me. Happy Rednesday!Leslie
Your quilt is just amazing! I'm so impressed. The little bluebird tray is too sweet.

ReplyDeleteI admire you for making the quilt you really wanted!
ReplyDeleteI like the little tomato. I have one like it too.
Hi Leslie! That quilt is wonderful...LOl...you've got more patience than I. I can embroider for days, but a quilt,nope.
ReplyDeleteLove that tablescape. Are doing Tablescape Thursday over at Between Naps on the Porch?
Leslie, I almost couldn't comment - your light blue color is so light it took me a long while to find the link! Maybe you could make it a wee bit darker? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat wind-up toy is awesome - hope you got it for a good price. And I'm glad you didn't buy that bluebird tray at the antique store - it's a beauty!
Your place setting is totally the best! The glass plates and drink glasses should be in my kitchen, too, lol! I'll have to start looking for them!
Leslie~Your reds really put a smile on my face this morning! Your finds are great and I'm so glad that you waited on this dish from the antique store. :)
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is so pretty and sweet looking.
Fondly,

You better join that tablescape party! I absolutely love the setting, especially those plates and the pitcher!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is gorgeous! And I'm sure it's destined to be a family heirloom. It's like a work of art hanging on the wall!
Happy REDnesday and Happy 4th!
