Hi blogging friends! !
This months Flaunt Your Red party is being hosted by Stacey at
Poofing the Pillows
Poofing the Pillows
This event is one of my favorites because I have alot of red colors in my home.
I hope you like a little fun and whimsy!!
***
This watermelon checkerboard was one of first wood crafts projects I did using a jigsaw a checkerboard stencil.
Nothing says summer quite like watermelon,
and a cute bowl of fruit!
(I know it's not actually summer yet, but it sure feels like it here today, at a sweltering 98 degrees)!!
The rooster pitcher and matching napkin holder I bought at Ross.
I originally bought and gave it to my Mom after she was given the nickname Betty Boop.
Mom got many Betty Boop gifts from people at the height of the
Betty Boop craze,
but when she was ready for a change of decor she asked me if I would like to have it back, I said....
but of course!!
Especially ones with red on them and a vintage theme!
The lids on tins like these below could also be used as a deorative plate on a plate stand or holder.
You could also use them to make a wall display of several lids,
and... they're even already to hang!!
I just couldn't pass up these adorable Fitz and Floyd tumbling piggies!
at some of my favorite fun red things today!!
I hope they made you smile!!
Have a fun Flaunt Your Red Friday!!

Sherri, thank you so much for participating in Flaunt Your Red! As soon as I saw your blog I knew this event is just perfect for you. Your home is so pretty. I really like your watermelon checkerboard. Your piggies are cute too.

Sherri,
I love all your red accent pieces! Each is so cute and definitely colorful. Red is such a happy color and your post makes me smile. Very pretty! Miss Bloomers/Sonia
I love all of your red Sherri! I'll bet your house is so warm and inviting to everyone who enters it.

Sherri,
You ahve a lot of red here and I love all your things. The watermelon is really cute. I used to have a wooden stepstool shaped exactly like that for the kids so they could reach the counter. Wow, that brings back memories. I also love the tins because my sister used to collect them before she passed away. She really loved retro things and then slowly got in to Shabby Chic.
Anyway, I'm glad you managed to get the Betty Boop cookie jar~it's so cute. And I adore the F&F piggies. Darling!!
Have a wonderful weekend, Sherri!!

Thanks for stopping by to see my little 'Red Riding Hood' story today and for joining my following friends.
I look forward to many more visits in the future.
Worked in the garden today until I was RED in the face.
Maybe some more visiting will cool me down.
