Mama Mia....


Today is Rednesday! 
Hosted by 

A couple of weeks ago my neighbor was having a gargae sale. 
This whimsical gal was sitting on the table waiting to come home with me.
I asked how much she wanted for her...
she replied "One dollar!"
I clutched it in my hands and gave her a dollar then ran home... 
ha ha ha ha....
I really didn't run.


I  loved her sweet red scarf on her head, her big bare feet
and the HUGE carrot she's holding.
She reminded me of an Italian woman
gathering her goods from her garden.


She now stands in my cuccina
waiting to cook with me.


If only I could grow huge veggies like that!
Have a great Rednesday...
Be sure to check out all the other reds today!!!

  15. She's so great Mica, and maybe she will inspire you in the kitchen! I think you would make her very happy if you made something with carrots in it!
    Happy REDnesday!

  16. Hi Mica, I would have run with that cute find too. I love her little apron with the carrots on it! Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment on my "Strolling along Memory Lane..."REDNESDAY"! I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this wicker carriage with the "RED" and white gingham hood and "RED" wheels.

  17. Mama Mia is right! That figure is gorgeous and being Italian-I agree it looks like a nonna is gathering her treasures from the garden, preparing to make supper! I love it!
