This is a cookie jar made by Ball. My mother's father gave each of his kids one years ago. This is not Mother's , my sister has that one. But my sister did buy this one for me at an antique store. The lid has been put back on crooked and I have not been able to get it off. Mother used this as a cookie jar up until a few years ago.
These are the apples I bought at a yard sale last weekend.
This is a Spanish doll that I got from Paradise Galleries several years ago. Isn't she beautiful? I have a pink showgirl also. But she will have to wait until Pink Saturday. Paradise Galleries does not have these beautiful dolls any longer which is a shame. I would love to collect more.

Hi Charlotte! Your clothes sprinkler is such a cutie! And I love that cookie jar. I've seen them at antique stores, and never knew that Ball made them. I learn something new every day in blogland! Love those apples too, especially the half eaten one. I hope you share more of your reds next week!
Happy REDnesday!

Hi Charlotte ;D Welcome to your first REDnesday. Your reds are great and vintage. The clothes sprinkler is so special. Your Spanish doll is beautiful. Happy REDnesday~
The cookie jar is just adorable! Lots of cute reds!
Charlotte, welcome to Rednesday! I'm with you on the ironing memory - except my mom didn't buy a dryer until after I moved out! Love the sprinkler! The Spanish doll is so pretty, too!
Hey, can you tell me the name of the cherries theme on your Photobucket account? I can't find it!
Are you talking about the header or the background? I got both from The cutest blog on the block. I then added the yard sale sign & ball of yarn using Photobucket editing.
What a wonderful first post! I love the little lady water sprinkler for ironing! I think most of us have memories of our Moms doing this before she ironed! My mom's was a pop bottle with a metal sprinkle head. :)
Great reds !
Blessings,
