Red at the Main Street Grill

I didn't have a single red thing in mind for Rednesday today.....
(or for Vintage Thingie Thursday for that matter.....)

until I took a mug out for my morning coffee.



And there it was!



I've always liked these mugs with their red sign reading "Main Street Grill" 
....and their retro look



They are from Hallmark and go along with the Mitford series houses (now retired) which were based on Jan Karon's books. They make drinking coffee (and cocoa in the winter!!) a lot of fun!


♥♥♥  Linking my mugs to Rednesday over at It's a Very Cherry World. Check it out for more red fun!!
♥♥♥  Linking them too over at Vintage Thingies Thursday at Colorado Lady. Lots of fun vintage goodies to see!

  3. They remind me of a place in Kansas City called Winsteads! Original car burger place, now with inside service and still popular!

  5. I didn't know the Mitford series was retired now. I'm a Miss Read fan and she never retired her stories, thank goodness! Mitford is an American version of Fairacre and Thrush Green. Happy Rednesday!

  10. That's interesting!
    I really enjoyed those books. I listened to them and love the reader!
    Karon did write at least one book about the early days of the main character--different reader though, so did not resonate that much with me.
