First of all, I can’t believe I haven’t been participating in Beth’s You Capture weekly photography theme link-up series.  What fun!  Since I’m on the old inspiration trip today, I am participating for the very first time.  I’m thrilled about last week’s theme: Red.

I love the color red.  Love = red.  Get it?  I decided a while ago that I always want to have something red in my kitchen because of how eye-catching and bold the color is.  I haven’t had the guts to paint a kitchen red, yet.  However, I love the few different items of red that I keep on display there:

My red dish towel, red teapot and red kitchen timer.  Always on display and always making me feel happy.  I love the contrast against my white appliances.  I recently added a new red item to the mix:

My red vitamin/pill holder.  For so long, I would neglect taking my vitamins because they weren’t sitting out where I would remember.  Then, I started to take them out of their bottles and leave them on the counter top.  Then, I gagged at the thought of a fish oil pill rolling onto the floor and a certain toddler picking it up and taking a bite.  Gag.  So, when I saw this little red jewelry holder, I bought it with every intention of placing my vitamins in it on a daily basis.  Something I would notice because of it’s bold color and something that would prevent my vitamins from ending up in the wrong mouth.  So far, it’s working like a charm.

My first You Capture contribution!  Yay me!

Thanks to Sabby for bringing this subject up at our meet-up on Saturday.
