Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.
Today I would like to show you two of my special rings. This first ring was a gift from my parents, for my 10th birthday. I'm sure they thought it would be lost by now, but here it is!
The center stone is a ruby and with four diamonds around it. It only fits on my pinky finger now!
This amethyst (my birthstone) ring is also from my parents. They know what I like. ;0) I received it on Christmas day, 1993. It is a special reminder of my last Christmas at home, I got married 6 months later.
Thank you for looking at my special rings!
Show and Tell Guidelines
What is Show and Tell Friday?
Show and Tell involves showing something to an audience, and then telling them about it. Your show and tell must be something that you own, and is in your home or garden.
What items work well for Show and Tell Friday?
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-Childhood keepsakes
-Family heirlooms
-A collection you may have
-A piece of jewelry
-A special gift
-A favorite treasure
-Gardening pictures
What doesn't work well for Show and Tell Friday?
-Posts with no photos have no "Show." Please don't use them.
-Photos of events (trips, vacations, celebrations, etc.)
-Photos of things you are selling or planning to sell.
-Photos found on the internet, graphics or screenshots. Please use photos you take yourself.
There is no place like home is the original home of Show and Tell Friday. Please do not host your own.
Please do not feel that you have to participate every Friday.
How can I participate?
Once you've got your photo(s) and your story, it's easy as 1-2-3!
1 - Publish your "Show and Tell" on your blog, including a link back to There is No place like Home. If you don’t know the link code, email me and I will send it to you.
2 - Copy the link (or "permalink") from your post.
3 - Add it to Mr. Linky, along with your first name. I usually put Mr. Linky up on Friday at 12:00am Eastern time.
That's it! After that, you can start visiting all the other Show and Tell participants!
Kelli,

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteYour rings are both beautiful. You must truly treasure such special gifts from your parents.

I love that you still have the one from when you were 10 years old! Beautiful rings!
ReplyDeleteThose are so lovely Kelli and with such special meaning, for special occasions.

I found the last ring to pull my heartstrings, as it was given to you beofre leaving home. How sentimental!
ReplyDeleteoh that is sweet. That is very special that you have taken such care to a ring all these years. And, they are both gorgeous too!!
ReplyDeleteMica

Kelli, what lovely rings! Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I participate in one of your Show and Tells! How fun.
They are very pretty Kelli. I like that there are two. One for each of your girls one day.
ReplyDeleteWow....both rings are very nice. You got a ruby ring when you were only 10?!! [and you didn't lose it?]
ReplyDeleteMy birthstone is amethyst also...but my ring is of the real light purple with a filigree design mounting---I like YOURs better....wanna trade? *wink*]
My show n tell is of the orient flair this week.
Your rings are lovely. Wonderful memories go along with them too.
ReplyDeleteOh-so lovely and the childhood ring reminded me of a tiny ruby ring I had as a child--it had belonged to my grandmother who was deceased. I lost it swimming in the Saint Lawrence Seaway (I think it is called?) and It was one of my greatest losses as a child and one of my regrets as an adult!
ReplyDeleteOne can never go wrong with rubies and amethysts! ;o) Beautiful rings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rings!
ReplyDeleteI love your rings, amethyst is one of my very favorite. I would never have been able to keep up with rings when I was 10.
ReplyDeleteThey would have gotten in the way of my playing football!LOL
I love your rings and the stories behind them. How beautiful. It's neat that you still have the one from when you were 10, you must have been a very responsible young lady! :0)

Beautiful rings! I had a ruby ring (my birthstone) given to me by my aunt one summer--and lost it in someone's yard after church one Sunday night. I couldn't find it in the dark, and the boy who lived there said he never found it, either. As we didn't like each other, I always wondered if he told me the truth. lol
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun! Your rings are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely.
ReplyDeleteChrissy
Seems like an heirloom in the making. I have an opal ring from my parents. I even had it resized so that I can still wear it on special occasions.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and thanks for hosting Show and Tell.
Rings are such wonderful keepsakes. Yours are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Connie
Beautiful rings, Kelli....such keepsakes.....Betty
ReplyDeleteI think jewelery is extra special when it is given by precious people in our lives. How wonderful that you have a wonderful memory to go along with each ring!

I love your jewelry! I'm a jewelry girl, too. I still have the little "princess" ring my father gave me when I was 5. Now, Summer wears it. Also, the ruby is my birthstone, so I especially love that little ring of yours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rings Kelli! Thank you for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeletePretty rings, I'm amazed you still have the one from when you were 10! You take very good care of your treasures.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you what happened when I first posted my "Show and Tell" today. I accidently linked my post to a blog called "Kellis Konfessions" instead of yours. YIKES!!!
Fortunately I always check my links after I post something and I quickly corrected the problem. :o).
Such pretty rings! Your parents must have thought you were a very responsible little girl to give you something like that when you were 10!
ReplyDeleteThis is always so much fun!
They're gorgeous rings. How special that you have them both still, and that they're in such great shape.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that you were able to keep these for all these years.
Are you a February baby?
Thanks you for sharing your special and beautiful rings! I could not participate this week because all of our camera batteries were being charged! :) I'm looking forward to joining back in next Friday. Have a wonderful weekend, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty rings!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful rings!! I love them. We just gave our 12-year-old granddaughter a birthstone ring for her Sept. 11, 12th birthday. She loves it.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty your rings are, and the fact of where they came from makes them even more special.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli!
ReplyDeleteYour rings are SO pretty!! And how wonderful that you didn't lose or damage the one you received when you were 10!! Smart parents for knowing they could trust you with a true gem!!
His,
Mrs. U
Love your rings. And the memories they invoke for you!
ReplyDeleteKelli
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog space you have happening here. Tracked across to look at your Seasonal Delights magazine and even more of the good stuff over there too! You have really brightened my day with all the creative things you have happening here.
Show and Tell Friday is a wonderful idea, many of us have little treasures tucked away that always seem to have a story to tell.
