Kitchen Baking with Red!

This is another of my infamous red displays, featuring a red baking theme.  I found the two thermoses in the back of the picture about 3-4 years ago at a local antique sale and I just had to buy them; they perfectly personify the 1950s vibe that I adore.

The red Calumet can is actually my mom’s- she collects these like nobody’s business and I commandeered one of hers that she wasn’t using anymore. J  When I saw the bright, shiny red nut chopper I just had to grab it up- I had never found one in such great shape, and I haven’t seen a red one since then!  The cookie cutters I’ve been amassing for quite some time now- whenever I find one with a red handle I try to grab it up for my burgeoning collection.

My absolute favorite find, though, is the terrific cherry napkin everything is displayed on- it was actually a gift from an antique dealer I know!  She collects cherry things, too, and after I had been buying for her for a few years and she discovered my love affair of cherries she graciously gave me one from her collection!

    ENAMORED OF RED

    Enamored of red
    I lie in my bed,
    Dreaming of cherry-filled crèmes;

    For red’s a fine shade,
    The prettiest made,
    And gives me the sweetest of dreams.
