For the Love of Red!


French Red.

"What exactly is that?"....this is a question I hear far too often.

Well, it evokes a feeling, a time, a place, a land far, far away.

I see a certain hue of red and my heart beats faster. Roll in faded red to a shade of pink, dolled up next to a more vibrant red and I can hardly contain myself.

Enter the antique French enamel pitcher above. I saw a sea of them and nearly fainted.
Ohhhh....it's so easy to make me giddy. Really. So, so easy. {D&A Rug in Framboise color-varies sizes; French zinc pitcher. All available at vintageweave.com >

Holy S**& I LOVE THAT RUG COLOR. I must, must have two runners, a 3x5 and 5x9 if you have or can order for me. I think that is the best color combo ever. And you were right when you sold me my first dashalbert rug, they wash up in the machine beautifully.

Killer pitcher. Online I just bought one and the brown one too. You said you had many, and i hope they last as I just passed this post onto my sister and two friends.

I just rec'd my delivery with the chairs & table and the pitchers I bought this week. Your delivery guy was very nice and courteous he said you train them! I love everything so much esp the red fabric and red label. Thank you!!!!!!!
