Using More Red

I've just realized that I've been using more 
red in my decorating than I thought.
 I use these bowls at Christmas. 
They were being stored in the family room 
armoire. Why not use them now in my red, 
white, and blue kitchen?
 I can use red not just for Christmas, but for 
Valentine's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, 
and all thru the summer.
 So I made a 'Note To Self'...in the future I will
 store all the 'red' accessories separately 
in one container so that I can access them 
for more holidays. 
 I know there is more red in storage, mingled 
in with the Christmas stuff. I will have a new 
plan for storing it next time.
 Maybe I could just find the red gingham 
pillow covers.....mmmmmm.
What do you think Princess?
 Even my desserts have gone patriotic.
Red polka dot plates will see more use.
A new plan for later and tea for now.

Cheers!

  6. Those bowls are so pretty, Rita, I think you should definitely keep them out, especially since they go so well in your kitchen.

  23. I love using red too! Sometimes I think I should store my items by color(s) and not season and I'd get more mileage out of them - but sadly am not that organized. Jennifer
