My Fancy Reds...
Today I will be showcasing a few of my "fancy reds." This to me means pieces that are not vintage kitchen or rustic reds, which I dearly love. Red carries over into every single room in my home. I LOVE IT.
I hope you enjoy my picture presentation.
Just in case our guests need a refresher course on the great city of Atlanta(since I am from Georgia) or need to brush up on their manners, we do have a couple of reading options available!
Isn't this quite the handsome rooster? I just love him. I purchased the painting in Beijing for $4.00 and then had it framed in Seoul for $12.00. I know, I know I'm breaking the bank here but I just had to have him! You see, our middle son has red hair and a cowlick(hope I spelled that correctly) if his hair gets too long. When he was little we used to call him rooster because his hair always stuck up on the top of his head. So actually this lovely rooster painting is for our son...one day. But for now, he's mine all mine!!
Another wonderful painting that I purchased and had framed while in Korea. Again, not expensive at all. Just $20.00. I should add that all the frames I purchased while in Korea are Larson-Juhl frames. One of the best deals going in Korea, in my humble opinion. Have you priced a Larson-Juhl frame lately??
This vase is made by an artist in Tucson, Don Swanson. He produces some beautiful pieces of pottery. Hopefully next week I will have a tea set to show you. I am going to Tucson on Friday to pick it up!!

You have some special reds, Ann. A sweet connection with your rooster painting. Also, the Atlanta folklore book. My son was born in Georgia (Ft. Oglethorpe) so sentimentally I can relate! The pottery is fabulous and there's a tea set coming? Can't wait to see!
Very pretty paintings. Beautiful reds!

Nice cover on the Atlanta book - at first I thought it said Atlantis! I've read the George book - very good.
Absolutely love the colors in the rooster painting - beautiful! As is the other painting, too.
Can't wait to see the tea set!
Beautiful! Red is my favorite. I'm not sure I could pick which of your pretties I liked best - they are all lovely.
Love the rooster and the beautiful cottage paintings. So peaceful.
Love the rooster!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Hi there...thanks for your visit to my blog and your kindness. I love your blog, I love red too it's all over in my home too. I love the pretty things you have here...I love the rooster picture, I have them all over too! This is such a beautiful vase too! I have added you to my blog list and will follow yours. Would it be ok with you if I put the cross stitch you found (the house by the side of the road) on my side bar? That is the theme for our home! Let me know :D
Your story about your son and the rooster painting is charming. I love your landscape painting and your vase is so lovely!
Happy Rednesday,
Sally
We will have to share some comments about owning a shop.Right now my biggest fear is not being able to part with anything, I love it all!! It does feel a little intimidating but if I don't try than I would be so disappointed in myself. So thanks for your nice comments and please keep me posted about your progress towards opening up a shop. Maybe we can learn from each other, have a great day.
I didn't know you had these pieces. Hummmmmmm?
Lots of great reds today Ann! I can appreciate the book about Atlanta because I'm reading Gone With The Wind right now. Can you believe that I've never read it before?! And I love that rooster painting, and the story behind why it's so special!
Happy REDnesday!

That scenic painting is beautiful. I'd love to go in and just sit in that field.
So much red loveliness, I enjoyed your photos tremendously. I also adore red and have to be careful not to overdo it in my kitchen and livingroom.
Wow, such awesome and unique reds! That hillside painting is absolutely beautiful! So inspiring!
Thank you for sharing!
Blessings,
Jo
So, Ann, did you go back and buy more squeekies? Pretty amazing you so many of the exact one!
Books, Pictures and Pottery...oh my...I love, love, them all! Your pottery really is beautiful!
Thank you for visiting and leaving your sweet comment on my Vintage Thingies Thursday...Wicker Pram! I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this wicker pram with the red and white gingham hood and red wheels, I knew, of course, that I had to add red geraniums.

We have the George Washington book too. :-) Love the rooster. He's good luck for the Chinese.
What great deals you got for the paintings! I love the rooster!
You have some beautiful red related items there, but I must admit the rooster is my favorite. :-)
I loved all the reds you shared. I also share the same taste in your art work. Nice job.
I was tickled red that you visited my blog. Thank you and I hope you come on over often. Love your bits of red. Every home should have red in it. Why heck....my whole dining room is red. :)
Love all those reds - so pretty. The "Atlanta" book is interesting...that's my hometown! Thanks for your visit and kinds words about my MIL. Linda
Absolutely LOVE your vase!!

Hi Ann!
Sorry it has taken so long to check out your reds!
Oh, I love those books! They both look like they would be fun to read and they will make great decor books!
And both of your paintings are wonderful. And awesome deals on them! And that vase? BEAUTIFUL!!!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Memorial Day! Give that hubby of yours a big hug and an even bigger thank you from me for all he does for his country!!
