Heart of The Home and a Winner!

Welcome to my kitchen ~ it is indeed the heart of our home.

My kitchen is not modern. It's homey and cozy, but it means business. I have a professional stove, and lots of pots, pans, and utensils at the ready. Form comes first and style follows.

Spices and herbs are readily available.

Dishes are stored in open shelves to make it easy and accessible to "plate" a dish.

There are stainless and copper pots and pans ready to be used.

There are aprons ready to grab and baskets filled with potatoes, onions and garlic.

There is a beamed ceiling and painted cabinets. There are baskets and collections of pottery.

There is an old hutch filled with loved pieces of pottery, tole, miniatures and Beatrix Potter figurines. It's the cozy and comfy heart of our home, filled with things we love, and things that work for us. Thank you for visiting! Please visit Sheila at Note Songs for her Heart of the Home Party and Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday.

And now .... big drum roll ... the winner of last week's give away is ... Elizabeth and Gary of Home is Where The Heart Is. Congratulations!! Send me an email so that I can get your address. Thank you all for participating!! If you didn't win, don't fret ... I'll have many more giveaways!!

Rednesday Quilting

Red fat quarters just longing to be part of a red quilt. They could be this fall's quilting project. I wonder what Sue of It's a Very Cherry World has for us this Rednesday?

When we head off to work each day, Bentley likes to curl up on a quilt on the bed. Isn't that right Bentley?? You don't have any separation anxiety while we are gone do you??

Love,

Red Velvet Cupcakes and a Red Pie Plate

It is Rednesday isn't it? Whenever there is a Monday holiday, I seem to be one day off for days. Since I am assuming it is in fact Rednesday, I am showing off my red towel holder with a new red velvet cupcake recipe towel. Isn't it cute??

And ... next to the towel is my red apple pie plate. The recipe for the pie is printed on the bottom of the plate. How handy is that???

See, here is the recipe. Since the recipes are so handy, I suppose I will have to bake some red velvet cupcakes and an apple pie very soon!!! While I am gathering the ingredients, please go visit Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for some more fun for this Rednesday.

Bentley ~ please check the calendar. Bentley is assuring me that it is Rednesday. Thanks sweet pea!!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Rednesday September School Days

Wow ~ it's September 1st already!! Autumn is a favorite season of mine. Sweater weather. Warm sunny afternoons. Leaves beginning to turn color and the start of a new school year. So for this Rednesday I have a little vignette consisting of a red framed blackboard, a plaid covered box and a cute little red school bag. This red bag was made for the American Girl Doll, Molly McIntire. Her era is the 1940's. Love that time period!!

So many great movies were filmed in the 1940's. Lot's of great big band music and lots of red accessories too. This is the cutest little red school bag. It even has a mini 3 ring binder, school ruled paper, a pencil case with 2 red pencils and an little pink eraser. There is a language book. It's a miniature textbook reproduction of a book copyrighted 1941. Molly's report card is in the bag and there are some flash cards too. Too cute!!

I hope that everyone has a great first day of September. Don't forget to go visit Sue for some more reds on this Rednesday!!

Bentley wants you to know that one of his favorite toys is a little red fire truck. Of course half of it has been chewed off, but he loves it just the same. Isn't that right Bentley?

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Rednesday Clock

Here is my red schoolhouse clock. It keeps time in the kitchen close to the walkies corner. Of course Bentley doesn't need a clock to let him know when it's time for walkies. In Bentley's world it's always time for walkies!!

You can see his little terrier hook that holds his cute terrier ornament, his harness, his leash ...

Where is your leash Bentley??? I think that's a hint. Bentley is letting me know that it's way past walkie time! Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to visit Sue for more Rednesday fun at It's a Very Cherry World!!

Wait for me Bentley!!

Love,

Susan and Bentley
