olive the other christmas color

I love red...just the good old classic red.   Every shade of green looks good with it but I'm especially loving olive and red.   I love it so much that I decided to make two seasonal craft stashes...one for me and one for you.

Pretty papers, a finished clipboard, lots of ribbons and fun trim, buttons, tiny vintage ornaments, a scrap of material from a vintage apron, and even some already-chain-stitched lengths of yarn.  

Just leave a comment and I'll pick a lucky crafter on Saturday.  

In the mean time, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  I read something in a magazine yesterday that said "Keep your fork, there's pie" and it made me laugh.  Are there any better words after dinner than "Keep your fork"?

congrats to Kimberly with the following comment:

I'm afraid I "keep my fork" entirely too often! :)

Never really thought about olive - but your picture inspired me! I love it and I am on the hunt now for such beautiful papers and such for wrapping my presents. Thanks for your inspiration.

Happy Thanksgiving! I love red & olive, too! A retro/vintage classic! Giving thanks for the fun, inspiration and nostalgia of Jane's Apron!

olive and red! I love it. Dark olive, limey olive, tart olive....and gorgeous Christmas red. Those colors make me happy!
