Red poppies- for rememberance day and beyond

I love find TV shows that I've never seen before on Netflix. Most recently I found a TV show from Canada called Bomb Girls and I was charmed by the red poppies worn on the lapels of the women and men. I was unfamiliar with the story behind the red poppies and found all the info on The Royal British Legion page here.

After WW1 the fields and trenches, which were cut, burned, and turned from the war,  were covered by "Flanders" poppies which grow as weeds in Great Britain. On Remembrance Day in November, Brits wear red poppies so they will "never forget". A lovely way to celebrate and remember.

There were so many great accessories,  including this cute kitchen towel, that I was inspired to find other great poppy accessories.

You can find this kitchen towel at the Poppy Shop UK.

Using vintage items is a great way to recycle that doesn't involve taking anything to the curb!

Sweet cream and sugar from Pink Neon Vintage
This is such a sweet set in great condition andwould making having tea more fun!


Pink vintage tray, 16 inches from Better Vintage.

I could see this on a wall as part of a collection, in a little girl's room as part of her dresser/ perfume tray. And at 16 inches, this tray would be a nice side of a kitchen table centerpiece for a 1950's kitchen.


Set of four canisters from Vintage Cellar Door
These remind me of my grandmother. She has a set that looked hammered with wood acorns on the tops. It brings back good memories of baking cookies and pies!


Set of spices canisters from Baby Cat Vintage Crafts
I am facinated by the spices that the makers through were som important they added the names to the containers. It probably speaks of the time of the exoticness of spices in the foods of the 50's.


Sweet little saucepan with a pink lid from Hobart Collectables.
