sweet reds

 Summer is coming quickly, which is my favorite time for strawberries!! I bought this sweet vintage wrapping paper over the weekend at the flea market. I just love the adorable bunnies and all the delicious strawberries!! Such sweet paper!!
 On Etsy, I bought these pretty strawberry decals, and have been waiting for something to adorn them with. I am on my search for some enamelware or tin canisters. What would you put them on? 
 I also bought this sweet silverware tray at the flea, and just fell in love with the shabby red, and sweet stencil design!
  A little girl with a cute bonnet, carrying her basket to pick some pretty flowers. So precious!
This is going to make great storage for some embroidery floss and other craft goodies! I would like to find some vintage floral wall paper to put inside, or mod podge some craft paper. I'll let you know what I choose! Hope you are having a wonderful day! The sun has been out shining away today!! 


I am linking up with sweet Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday!! Head on over to check out some more lovely reds!!

    Eeeeek....How I love the color Red! It's such a cheerful color! I adore all your delightful flea market finds! Nothing is more satisfying than heading home with a cart full of red vintage treasures! I just figured out how to post my love for reds on Sue's Rednesday and will have many to share in the coming days.
    Have fun incorporating your finds into you summer decorating!

    That cutlery tray is beyond cute! What a great find. Those decals would look really sweet on those big glass jar canisters that you can get at Walmart or Hobby Lobby. Then you could store flour or sugar in them. Just an idea....
