I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Ruby Tuesday
It's Ruby Tuesday again!
I fell in love with this wonderful, dramatic set at the sale last week. Isn't it marvellously red!
If you like red, visit Mary T and her Ruby Tuesday meme here. You can sign up and post your own red photo, too.
Beautiful red battery ! thanks for your comment :) I think I'll wait until snow comes and then take more pics about my village. I'll but my sisters blog here as an address because she knitts and I'm sure you'll like her Knitting blog !!!!!
Hi Steph. I was checking out your totally cute (and how DID you do that?) tea cozy when a picture below caught my eye. I had not seen THIS Ruby Tuesday. How did I miss this? What a great set. Very modern but nevertheless, really a handsome set.

Even better, it's not a solid red. Did you buy this? I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy captcha word is scrubs which reminds me, I need to go throw a load of clothes in the machine!
What is the age of this set? Is it representative of a particular time period and style?
ReplyDeleteRudee - I didn't buy it. But it's sure fun to look at. And I had to get a photo.
ReplyDeletePenny - I don't know how old it is. The style and glaze say 60's but it could be a reproduction.
What a delightful RUBY find ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Wow! What a beautiful red collection! Gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, I was about to ask Rudee's question!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you got the pleasure of looking at it.
Great RT picture, Stephanie.
Oh how cute. I would love to have a cuppa something out of that set.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting set. Did you get it?
ReplyDeleteSo cool. I want it. Can I visit for coffee and cream!
ReplyDeleteA blazing red mug
ReplyDeletekeeps coffee hot—slug some down,
it’ll hit the spot.
My Ruby Tuesday
Too cute for words--and straight out of the 60s I think. Nice photo Steph.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very lucky find to me! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, the problem with enlarging is solved, so if you've time, do call back to see that dream catcher.
ReplyDeleteI love the red and black colour combination. I'm a fan of your blog and enjoy your knitting posts.
ReplyDeleteI love the style and shape. It certainly reminds me of the
ReplyDelete50/60's.
Great ruby!
