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.
We have a surprise guest host for Show and Tell today! My daughter, Grace is hosting because it's her birthday !! That's right, my baby is 10 years old now! Grace picked three special things to share with us today...
The first thing I want to show you is my gold baby bracelet.
My Grandma gave it to me when I was about 3 months old.
This is me wearing the bracelet at my baby dedication. It was huge when I was little, but now it doesn't fit at all!
This is probably the most special thing I own. This is my doll, Molly. I got her when I was 2 years old.
Here she is under the Christmas tree.
On trips and vacations I always bring her with me, even on airplanes.
This is my favorite teacup. The first thing I drank in it was milk on Christmas morning.
To me this kind of bird looks like a snowbird, so I call it my "snowbird teacup".
Thank you for looking at my special things!
Happy Birthday Grace!
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:
-Family heirlooms
-A collection you may have
-A piece of jewelry
-A special gift
-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.
-Old photos of just people instead of things.
There is no place like home is the original home of Show and Tell Friday. Please do not host your own.
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. Go HERE for the "Show and Tell" picture code to copy and paste into your post.
2 - Copy the link (or "permalink") from your post.
3 - Add it to Mr. Linky, along with your first name only. (This will make the list easier to read.) I usually put Mr. Linky up on Friday at 12:00am Eastern time.

Hi Kelli, what a gorgeous tea-cup. You know the birdy looks like one from the tit family, either:
Black capped chickadee,
Coal tit, or
Great tit.
What do you think?
The baby bracelet is so pretty too.
Have a beautiful day! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE :)
Hugs and blessings.

What a fun way to celebrate your birthday. That Molly doll looks familiar, wasn't there a PBS show about a girl and her special doll named Molly?

Happy Birthday, Grace. I KNOW that doll, Molly! She's from The Big Comfy Couch!
Happy Birthday, Grace!!! Thank you so much for sharing your special treasures with us. The teacup is my favorite, and I love your name for it. I think it is so neat that your doll goes everywhere with you. One of my daughters had a bunny who was as special to her as your doll is to you. He even went off to college with her!
God bless,
Mrs.T
Happy birthday Grace and what special things you picked to share with us. The gold bracelet is a true treasure that you can pass on to your daughter some day. I love things like that. They have a very important history. I hope you are having the best BIRTHDAY ever.

Happy Birthday Grace, I enjoyed seeing all your special treasures. I love birds and your teacup is so pretty. Molly is very sweet and how nice she gets to go on all your travels. When I was a girl I had a doll I loved to keep with me too.
Have a special and may all your dreams and wishes come true. Linda
Happy Birthday, Grace! Woohoo to double digits!! :o) I love your treasures. Taking your doll on the airplane made me remember a trip I made when I was littler than you are now. When they put my Raggedy Ann through the X-ray machine I cried! I was so relieved to see old Raggedy coming out the other side. :o) I love your teacup ... beautiful! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday, Grace! What a wonderful Show & Tell. My daughter would love your Molly doll. She absolutely loves The Big Comfy Couch. Have a great birthday! :-)

Happy Birthday, Grace! I love your special things, and I love your name. I bet your mom named that because she already knew you would be graceful, gracious and full of grace!
Julie Marie
Aww, the bracelet is lovely and the pictures are cute! I like that teacup too. Love the bird!
Wow...I actually did a show and tell this week. Nothing mind boggling, but oh well. :)
Happy Birthday, Grace!!! Thank you for sharing your sweet treasures. I remember seeing Molly on a PBS show, and I always enjoyed that show with my boys! The tea cup is gorgeous! About your lovely, little bracelet.....my grandmother sent me a wee, sweet gold baby ring when I was born. My mom took a picture of me wearing it when I was about the age you were in your picture......I'm a grandma now, so, of course, the ring doesn't fit, but I do display it in a small cabinet in my parlor.
Oh yes, I can't believe I didn't say this in my other comment...
Many happy returns Grace!
Otanjoubi omedetou!
Happy, happy birthday Grace! You are a very lucky young lady to have such wonderful treasures! I am a big bird lover so as you can imagine, I love your favorite tea cup!! My daughter has a stuffed musical elephant that she has had for 21 years and she still sleeps with Ellie:o)

Happy Birthday Grace. Today is my little boy's birthday as well! He is 2 years old though.
I enjoyed looking at all of your special treasures. I have a tiny golden ring that was given to me when I was a baby. It won't even fit my pinky!
I love the tea cup. You took very good care of your doll after all of these years!
Tell your mom that there is an award for her over at my blog; When she has time to come pick it up.
Happy Birthday, Grace. I love the little braclet and the snowbird teacut.
