Happy Friday! For show and tell, I am sharing some summer touches that I have added to my kitchen. One of my favorite color combinations is blue and white, so I love my new tea towels.

I also decorated my kitchen piesafe with special red things, including the cherry dishes that I found last year.

Beautiful pictures. I always feel like I am right there when I look at your photos. The red theme looks so pretty!

WendyBee said...

Wow! Your pictures make me catch my breath. Ilooooove red-and-white in the kitchen. And I love the quaint old-fashioned look of the lacy shelf edging. Can you tell me who makes the gingham and cherry dishes or is it a secret?
Thanks for sharing.
