Every cottage collection of 50's print tablecloths must have its share of red.
And there are so many pristine pot holders to collect you wonder how many were actually used!
Red is so energizing! No surprise it was used so much in the kitchen. Women used to LIVE there, and I imagine (because cooking is NOT my thing) that you had to have SOMETHING to keep you going morning, noon, and night! Ha!
I'm more into cut and paste than pastry. . . .
Vintage images have such beauty and nostalgia.
But old flour sack embroidered dish towels are at the top of my fun list! Especially if they're appliqued like this one is!
Thanks for stopping by and seeing RED today! Ciao! for now!Jacqueline

I was energized just reading your post! I remember my grandmother teaching me to embroider on her mothers old flour sack towels. Sadly I only have one left...thank you for sharing yours! Licks & Wags Niki
ReplyDeleteHey you are soo busy! Loving those vintage graphics, the apple pops off the paper! The old jelly jars are very nice too! I have a stack of flour sack towels my Great Grandmother made for me when I was a girl... never used, but loved just the same:-)

Fabulous Ruby post!
ReplyDeleteI adore the appliqued flour-sack cloths, would just love to get my hands on one of those. Flour sacks have such memories for me, of my mother baking.
What a great red post! I forget how much I enjoy looking at red's..enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteEach piece is so lovely...Kathy
ReplyDeleteI have lots of red in my kitchen, and yet I still hate to cook! I love that tablecloth, and the dish towel is just too cute. And in honor of that little gal on the towel, I've got a small stack of my husband's clothes that need mending!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday and Happy Summer!

The vintage red is my husband's favorite. He would love to have a cabin on the lake, furnished with 50's red. Very nice post.

I love all your reds, especially the vintage linens. I collect them. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reds! Such fun.
ReplyDeleteVery nice vintage post for today. I like bright colors and should wear them more, but I tend to go with earth tones in most everything. Cloths, house and cars.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful reds you have today! The jelly jars are fabulous and I totally agree with you about vintage images. The artwork is so wonderful! Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteI love your red kitchen things, especially the appliqued towel
ReplyDeleteLove your REDS! The cloth and potholders are right up my alley! Love the little peek of your wire basket...love those too! Oh, and the jelly jars and S&P's...good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love all of those reds, especially the dish towel! I agree, red kitchens are the best.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the potholders. I think people had spent so much time making them that they didn't want to use them. Love all your redness today.
ReplyDeleteI love red, and this is a fantastic collection of beautiful red kitchen things. I do have some old potholders that definitely were used, but I'm too afraid of the colors bleeding and them falling apart to attempt washing them, so stained they shall remain (for now).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Makes me want to turn my blue kitchen into a red one.
ReplyDeleteI love your flour sack appliqued and embroidered tea-towels. My grandmother used to make those. I posted about them a couple of months ago.
ReplyDeletelove it all especially that sweet little embroidered dishcloth & those lidded glasses!
ReplyDeleteTerrific collection! Love the poppy tablecloth and the appliqued Sunbonnet Sue tea towel is fabulous...I've never seen an appliqued Sue dish towel before! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can't pick one as fave! coz I love all your vintagey pretties in here.. love the linens.. the red colour really outstanding!
ReplyDeleteLovely vintage linens. I love the tablecloth :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Happy VTT!
