Wednesday is Rednesday!


Today I am joining Sue over at It's A Very Cherry World who is hosting Rednesday. This is my first Rednesday post. I didnt think I had much red stuff around the house but when I actually looked, I had quite a lot!


I bought this little red chair off Ebay. It is need of a bit of tlc and when I get around to it I am going to sand it down and re-paint it...probably red again.

I always buy some candles for the table at Christmas and this year I have gone for some spotty red Cath Kidston candles.

I have finally brought all my geraniums in to protect them from the cold. This one sits in the kitchen window and is still looking quite good.


I bought these two cake tins from Tesco last week. They were £6.00 for the two which I thought was a good deal.


This little red bird is from a craft shop in Ellesmere, a small market town near me. It is filled with lavender so smells as nice as it looks .

This red gingham cushion sits on my bed and is from Laura Ashley.


Well okay I know this isnt exactly red but it is red themed! This is my favourite home magazine and this is the December issue, out now and full of lots of lovely festive things. I do love Christmas magazines!

  2. I like red and very much like the selection of things that you have shown us. In particular the red chair from Ebay, the cushion, the dotty tins.

  17. I don't go for red around the home, but I love it in the garden, especially at this time of year. I did see those tins, but would have really liked them in pale blue polka dot, just like your cloth! x

  18. I have never heard of Rednesday, but love the idea. I never did like red when I was a child, but do like it now and when I look around I seem to have more in the house then I thought I did, just like you! Isn't it funny how blogging makes us take a really good look at our surroundings, indoor or out, and see it all thru different eyes!! I love your background picture, the flowers in it match so perfectly to the photo of your header!! thanks for your lovely comment on my recent Chicken/rooster post. they sure can be interesting, something I could never have imagined years ago. I will be dropping by again soon, hugs, Debby

  19. Hello my darling, how is my favourite blogger, I hope life is treating you marvelously. Darling, great mines think alike, this morning I got up and thought red and posted a red polka dot post...this is interesting. I had never heard of Rednesday, I will check it out. I love your Tesco tins, they would have looked good with my post today.

    Take care
    Love & Hugs
