When I was little my favourite color was yellow – bright, sunny cheerful. Now I love red. Is it because its the color of love and passion? I have red shoes, dresses, dishes, tablecloths, hats, teapots, and even a red couch. My car is also red. It’s not this car, however.

The iconic 1961 Ferrari GT - I first saw one in
Ferris Bueller’s day off, one of the first movies I saw with my then boyfriend (now husband) in 1986. He also used to buy me red roses……

To be fair, roses do not last long or grow where we live in Queensland, and he doesn’t buy them often anymore. Instead we have red hibiscus in our garden.

| mmmm, cherries |
Cherries are very special here, and a summer and Christmas treat. When I lived in Sweden as a child for a year in 1977 we had a cherry tree in our front yard – heaven. We also collected lingon berries in the forest.

As a young girl I loved to watch classic Hollywood movies with mum on the weekends, as we did sewing and ironing. Was this the start of my love affair with vintage, and with red lips…

After we were married, hubby and I moved to North East Victoria, a great red wine producing area. Our lovely neighbour introduced us to the drop, which I still enjoy.
Some red I am still aiming for:
The perfect red dress
and shoes
