I have selected some of my favorite photos to show you how delicious red, green and white kitchen collectible look when grouped together. Now only the first photo is actually Christmas themed, but you can see how festive the other items look in the holiday colors. And you could of course use these collectibles throughout the year or save them for the holidays.

During the 1940s and 1950s,colors of red, green, white was a very common color palette and so there a plenty of housewares and kitchen-wares in these colors. When you combine these colors you get a very warm feeling.
