Fab Friday Finds – Seeing Red
I saw red on that epic $20 yard sale day!
Fate brought us together.
After all, a gal with a red stove (that would be me! – see it here)
is destined to be matched with my fiery finds.
Did the former lady of the house let the fact that she hated poultry seasoning
stop her from using her pre-labeled jars?
No – she did what any inventive housewife would do, she broke out her trusty typewriter
and typed up a label for chili power then pasted it over the offending spice label.
Now that’s ingenuity for you.
She’s probably the same gal who burned her bra to fight for women’s lib 20 years later.
My other fiery find was this Danish modern Dansk pot
(like my yellow find on my kitchen counter).
Who says blondes have all the fun?
I think it’s the red heads!
Check out the curves on that gal.
This next gal will cut you so watch out!
Her BFF is the blonde next to her.
Two pairs of old scissors – the yellow pair is marked Wiss.
I’m really seeing red and here’s a sneak peek at my next room tour.
Coming next week!
Be here May 29 for The Great Outdoors blog hop party – link here, be seen on 5 fab blogs.

I get the feeling you like the spice set!! Don’t hold back your feelings!! Thanks for sharing my finds on Junkin Joe’s post – after all, he is the king of cool finds! Believe it or not, I may put those spice jars in my etsy shop – gotta think about it. Can’t keep it all – unfortunately!!
Love your red finds!
Those are ADORABLE Kelly! Just perfect for your kitchen. Cute chair too. Have a fabulous weekend!
seriously- you are a magnet for awesome garage sale finds.
Now if only I could find a vintage magnet …!!
I’m a sucker for red things. I’m drawn to them like shiny things and big hair …
Great finds! I’m actually in the middle of adding some red … outdoors …

Those spice jars are so awesome. The perfect little companions to your red stove!! And, what is that new room with the awesome red and metal chair…and spoons in milk glass bowl????
Finally…..finally….finally. We get to see the sun room. I am already in love with that chair with the woven red seats.
Amazing.
Just like you:)

Oh… you sneaky peek girly 😉 Bet it’s going to be red hot!
Loving those cool scissors! They look so sturdy and capable.
That’s how I roll Shannon! Gotta leave something to the imagination!!
Love these finds. The spice jars are awesome. You really have a typewriter?
Not only one typewriter, but two!
Get.
Out!
Really… I cannot believe the fabulous things you find! Apparently I need to move to a much better city/neighborhood/state because I never find stuff like this! LOVE it all… that chair is amazing and I’ve been looking for a spice set like that for a number of years but usually they go for 50 or 60 dollars at the antiques stores around here…. never seen one at a sale!
Lucky, lucky you!

I’ve been on a streak! I may actually list the spice set in my etsy shop. Can’t keep it all (although I wish I could)!
I love the spice set! That is such a great find. When I find old stuff like that or even think about my house I like to think about the people who owned it before me. What were they like? What were there dreams?
Love, love, love red!
Brenda
I do to – doesn’t it make you want to eat more though?! That’s why McDonald’s are red!
Hi Kelly! BJ sent us over ad we are in LOVE with your Blog….and your collection of red for us today 🙂 Can’t wait to see more of your stuff!
Karla & Karrie
Thanks gals – so glad you popped over. Any gals who love red are naturally going to be friends of mine!
That is CRAZY good stuff!! Can’t wait for the room tour coming up ~ enjoy your weekend!

I guess crazy attracts crazy!!
Fiery ladies all dressed in their homemade labels! I think this is what makes this set – someone actually left the original labels and glued over them! The red, strappy chair must be revealed next, please! Have you noticed you seem to gravitate to milk glass in your finds? Happy hunting this weekend!
Distressed Donna Down Home
Yes, Donna – I know I have milk glass issues! I need a serious intervention!! Red chair room reveal coming next week!
Kelly – great finds!! I am loving every last one of them.
Thanks Dana – I am always amazed when I find such fabulousness!
I’ve got those same spice bottles, only mine don’t have the “new and improved” labels on them! 😉
i love vintage red in a kitchen. Your finds are great!!!
Oh how I love this color red. I have much red in my home, and my favorite is the fiery vintage kind. I have so much that my husband tried to declare the living room a “no red zone”. Since we haven’t really done much with it to decorate, it is last on the to do list, he still has his way. Watch out though, when I get there, there will be some amazing shots of red. I once red a decorate said “every room should have some pops of red, it is like a woman with her lipstick”. Love your finds!
Another thing we’ve got in common! Wait til you see my family room – red galore! I read the same thing about every room needing a bit of red!
pretty damn jealous that’s what I am…..those spice jars AND the Dansk pot with lid….you better hope I never find out where you live!
oh my!!! those are MY MOM’s spice jars!!! i want them back!!!!! lucky you to find them!!
