Today is Rednesday

Red is my favorite color. Today I thought that I would join in with some other bloggers who also love the color red.  The hostess of Rednesday is http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com/.   Visit her blog and you'll find links to lots of other bloggers showcasing some of their favorite red things.

I was finally able to get my act together and get my Christmas decorations taken down last weekend.  I also put together a few subtle Valentine type things on my kitchen windowsill.....and they just so happen to be red!  It's such a cheerful color to look at...especially in contrast to the greys and browns in my backyard.

UPDATE: The straws were purchased last fall at Crate & Barrel. I've also seen them available on Etsy.









A little red goes a long way in brightening up my day!

Red is a bright, cheerful color and your vignettes are so sweet. One cute window sill! :)

Don't cute things on the window sill make you feel better about having to do nasty jobs like washing dishes or scrubbing the sink? I love the heart! Great Rednesday collection Marie!

Your Valentine decorations are really pretty, and I especially like the heart with the Mother pin on it! Those straws are such a fun touch too, and perfect not just for Christmas or Valentine's Day, but any day of the year!
Happy REDnesday!
