Good Afternoon and welcome to
Favourite Things Friday with SHAY. My 'favourite' this week and bare in mind I have a few photos, is my favourite colour which is red through burgundy to rosey pink. I am instantly drawn to this colour and it's variants and shades. One of favourite music bands is called "SIMPLY RED" as well. Here are a few other favs.....
Beautiful red roses, a cranberry cut glass cheese bell.....
This print hangs over my stairs and makes me happy every day when I look at it. Certainly not expensive but I never tire of looking at it...
And then there is red work stitchery
of course. Also Christmas, threads and fabric. In fact I have to make myself not always choose fabric in these colour ways. If it is combined with green my other favourite then oh dear I am a goner....In fact friends point out these combinations to me as they know I love them so much.
Sweet little red birds...
Then we come to china. I would be here for ever if I had photographed all the red and pink that lives at my house.... so there is Cranberry & White...
Of course "Old Country Roses" which is why it is featured on my blog header.
and the earlier "Country Roses"......This one is on my wish list for one day when I win lotto.
My latest in lovely red/pink things is a gorgeous paper weight with dragonflys all over it which was a Christmas gift from my lovely friend Helen.....
So that is a sample of my favourite this week. I do hope you're not seeing red by this stage. I fear I am developing a terrible 'over the top' personality trait and it's all your fault.
Before I go back to my quilting I just wanted to share a lovely Aussie comment made to me in conversation the other day and I wonder if you know what it means...."All of us girls just love a good old mag!" Not the best English I know. Hhmmm? I'm sure you do.
It means to have a good old chat....."like chattering magpies". I hadn't heard it said for so long and it made me smile and think how much I love our 'Aussie-isms' which sadly are slowly being lost.
So have a good weekend and even though it's been one sided, I have enjoyed having a 'good old mag' with you.

ReplyDeleteRed is one of my favourite colours too..I'm instantly drawn to it. I had a red and pink bedroom as a kid.
ReplyDeleteLove the china -especially the Royal Albert. I bought some of those pieces and gave them to my sister for Christmas several years ago.
We share not just a name but favourite things as well! I had not heard of the mag-interesting!

All your favourite things are beautiful, I happen to love red too, so I totally understand! Love the fun saying.
ReplyDeleteLovely FTF and lots of lovely things in red. Love red work, mainly because you don't have to change colours lol. My Nan was partial to a mag over the side fence with the neighbours its a wonder they got things done.
