I love the colour red, our couch is red (well, deep red, but that's close enough),
(red leather..., swoon!)
my wedding flowers were red, a lot of our ornaments are red,
we have a lot of red things in the (messy!) kitchen too.
(there really are worktops under all that, honest)
So, how pleased do you think I was to receive this in the post the other day?!. It's my swap mobile from Sara of Kindred Crafters. It's red, and it's toadstools, can't get more perfect than that. I love it.
(eek, how hard is it to photograph a mobile?!, STOP SPINNING!)
It's hung in my sewing room at the moment, but I really want to put it above the table in the kitchen once I've got a hook in place to hang it from.
My own mobile is almost sorted and ready to go. Something else almost ready to go is this flower, well rose to be more precise. It's been sat on my desk for ages so am going to put it in Etsy, see if I can earn some money to go Etsy shopping myself, or...,
Mr LK is currently on an airplane (again!), en route to Chicago (nope, not jealous in the slightest). How much Orla Keily kitchenware from Target can he realistically bring back?
I'm going to be hiting that 'find it at a Target store' button a lot over the next few days!
what a lovely mobile and your rose is wonderful. what a nice mothers day gift that would make! thanks for your great blog, love it! noelle x
ReplyDeleteHope he's taken an enpty suitcase to bring back lots of Orla goodness!
ReplyDeleteIn our house this morning it was red clothes and noses for Comic Relief fudraising at school, but we drew the line at red hair.
I love all your reds...the mobile is so cute. I think your kitchen is wonderful too, such a great design.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI am so relieved the mobile made it there without ending up in a tangle and that it fits with all the beautiful red things in your home!
I was looking around my kitchen this week and thought it would be fun to start a red week next week. Then today in my bloglines I see your post. Your couch is fab and what lovely mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantasticly red weekend.

ooooh lovely mobile LK - i have toadstool envy now!
ReplyDeletefantastic sofa too - lush!
How can you not love red, its such a warm exciting colour. The toadstool mobile is gorgeous. Just cleaned and cleared my kitchen work surfaces its that spring thing!!! Tee Hee!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband can do better in finding Orla Keily items in the Chicago area than I have in Southern CA. I think I just waited too long. I went to Target yesterday and found virtually nothing. The shelves were almost bare. Very sad. So hope for the best but don't blame your husband if his success is very limited. I didn't ask if they were expecting a new shipment.
ReplyDeleteI love red, too...have 2 red sofas and now a RED kitchen! And I'm trying to find smaller touches of red to accessorize with! Love you pretty things! Now I want to go to Target! lol

ReplyDeleteI just love the mushroom mobile. It's a good looking blog - and the mice caught my eye too - but a mushroom mobile, now that's what I call creative!

I love how much you adore red! It’s such a vibrant, warm color, and it seems like your home really embraces that. I recently bought a folding mattress, and I found that red accents in the room really complement its look. It’s amazing how small details can make a big difference in setting the tone of a room. Have you ever thought of adding a folding mattress to your sewing room for a comfortable spot to relax while working? It might even give you a cozy corner to admire your beautiful red toadstool mobile!
