"Show and Tell Friday!"

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.

Many of your know Anita from My Country Cottage Garden. She shares her amazing garden and sewing projects with us quite often for show and tell. I received a special package from her today, all the way from Germany!

Even the envelope is beautiful.


A pretty gift tag.


Some Christmas tea called "Fireplace Heat" and Blue Sweet Pea seeds from her garden.


She also included these four *beautiful* white hankies for me to add to my collection!


Each one has amazing detail work and delicate lace.






I have really enjoyed getting to know Anita this past year though blogging, email and letters. She is very sweet and I appreciate her friendship and thoughtfulness!


Thank you for all the lovely gifts, Anita! I shall think of you as I drink my tea and dream of your Blue Sweet Peas growing in my garden next summer.


Thank you for looking at my show and tell!

-Photos of events (trips, vacations, celebrations, etc.)
