I saw RED....

As my Kris Kringle present this year, I received a voucher for Spotlight.

I thought it was great and I would have no trouble spending it. I was wrong. I decided to buy something for the new house (which incidently is beginning in a few weeks, YIPPEE!!). So, I mooched around for ages in this vast store and came across a great red coffee canister.

OK, that was half spent...then I spied some really great red cherry oven mitts. Done!!!!

Got home, snipped the tags off and took them for their first test run. OUCH! (Red again)

They were DUDS and were NOT heat resistant. I learnt the hard way...

So, off I toddled back to Spolight, with receipt in hand, and I was duly given a refund, which I then spent on a matching red tea canister...which I probably should have done in the first place....

Anyway, with no oven mitts now, I dedided to make my own..(with insul bright by the way!!) in this gorgeous Cath Kidston "Classic Rose" cotton Duck fabric in red.

Isn't it wonderful! They do work and they are heat resistant!!With the scraps I made some red fridge magnets....
Here are the red coffee and tea canisters...
...and the red cake tin to match, which I bought ages ago last year from Spotlight too.
The tin on the left is from Big W and I found it just before Christmas. I loved it straight away because it reminds me of Copenhagen.
Oh, and it has chocolate chip biscuits inside, another bonus!!
I love red in the Kitchen, do you?
