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.
Thank you for the valentine wishes, I hope you all had a wonderful day. Today I'm going to share some gifts I received for my birthday.
Last year I showed everyone these doll dress bookmarks that my special email/letter writing friend, Kelly made for me. Well, she surprised me with some more lovely gifts!
A beautiful knitted potholder and two handmade dishcloths.
Heart themed for Valentine's Day! Kelly knows how much I love yellow and especially paired up with blue.
Here are some more pretty dishcloths she has made me in the past.
I folded them all up, tied the bundle with a ribbon, and set it in my kitchen window. Thank you for the beautiful gifts, Kelly!
Speaking of my kitchen window, I'd like you to meet Mr. Jay. He was a gift from my mom and she got him especially because of the lovely acorn. Some of you may remember how much I love acorns. :0)
My mom also surprised me three beautiful mini teapots for my collection.
I love the delicate flowers.
This one might be my favorite!
As you can see I received some wonderful gifts for my birthday. Thank you for letting me share them with you!
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.
-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.
*If your name has been removed from Mr. Linky, please read over the guidelines before re-posting.

Kelli,
Indeed you did receive beautiful gifts for your birthday....the handmade things were very pretty, as well as the gorgeous teapots...oh yes, I like the bird....Betty
Oh yes, I remember the little doll dress bookmarks. You really got some very nice birthday gifts! I adore your the little birdie in your kitchen as well as the precious little tea cup!
Unfortunately, our Valentine's day wasn't as excited as it was yours because I had to work overthime and came home quite late!
By the way, they announced lots of sunshine for the coming week-end so I will try to take some sunny picutures of my February garden!
Have a great Friday, Kelli!
XoX, Anita
P.S.: My other plans for this week-end: making another ribbon memory board! ;-))
Your birthday gifts from your friend Kelly are lovely. I love blue and yellow combined as well :-)
The miniature teapots from your mom are just beautiful ~ what treasures!
By the way, your window ledge looks great!

And your new little teapots are gorgeous!

The tea pots are beautiful.
I LOVE Mr. Jay. He is so distinguished. What a lovely guest in your kitchen.
Everything is so pretty, Kelli! I especially like Mr. Jay. He is really nifty. Of the mini teapots, my favorite is the pink one you showed last. Do you know where your mom found these? (I have a teapot/teacup collector in my family too!)
Thanks for sharing... and hosting!

Grace & Peace
Hi Kelli,
Oh you got such sweet gifts. I love the doll dressbookmark. Your little bird is so sweet too. I have to run for now but I'll read the entire post later. I am late today because my mother spent the night last night and I had to run her to the airport this morning at 7:00(yuck)now I am 2 hours behind on morning chores. Off to feed. I did get my show and tell up but I have to get your button on there though. Have a great day. Sherry
...ohh...funny gifts....have a nice weekend.. Barbara
How lovely! I want to learn how to knit.
The teapots are beautiful!
Beautiful! I love Mr. Jay! I'm finally joining in to "Show and Tell" :)
Hmmm....so you love yellow and acorns?? Nice to know!

Very sweet birthday gifts. It looks like the giver gave lots of thought to you. :)
I like the blue Jay. We saw a beautiful one in our backyard the other day. I know they can be mean to other poor bridies, but one can't help appreciating their beauty.
I love the little tea pots too. :)
Good Friday Morning, Kelli! :) What great gifts you received - how very special. And the bundle of towels really adds a nice touch to your window area.
Have a wonderful day! And thanks for hosting Show & Tell - it's so much fun! :)
You have lovely gifts. I've never seen a bookmark like it. It's so cute. I like the way you've displayed the pot holders and dishcloths, and love the sweet teapots.
I didn't do show and tell again, but I enjoy viewing what everyone else has to show. Blessings, Kathi
Kelli, thanks for sharing all those beautiful things! The handmade pot holder and the dish cloths are lovely! And I love Mr. Jay! :) Mine is up!
Kelli,
My first show and tell. I started small with one picture. I'm all thumbs with a camera and my son only had time for just one picture! :)
Thank you for hosting this. It is a lot of fun to see everyone's treasures!
Hi! I'm new to this meme! Thank you for hosting this. :-) Your site is so fun!
Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine's Day!
Kelli---all your gifts are just beautiful (just like you)--I love how you display your towels on the window sill--just lovely:)
I am not playing today,I have a ton of housework to catch up on, and I was worried I wouldn't get to visit everyone's show and tell if I put one up, kwim?
It is funny, I bought a lot of those valentine's things you posted..LOL--I gave my children those chocolate suckers too:o)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Julieann
P.S. Walmart was out of my hazelnut creamer, so I had to get Vanilla---
Hi, this is my first time participating. Very nice gifts, Kelli. Have a great day.
Everything is so colorful and bright. How pretty!
What adorable teapots! Thanks for the opportunity to link to your show & tell. Today was my first time to do that, although I've been reading for a while.
You received some beautiful things for your birthday, Kelli. I didn't know you had a birthday recently. Happy Belated Birthday.
My Show and Tell is now up and ready for viewing.
This is my first time joining show & tell Friday so I hope I do it right. Lovely birthday pressies. You are blessed.
Beautiful gifts! What wonderful surprises to receive on your birthday. Thanks for sharing them with us. :) TJ
Your Birthday gifts are very nice -- especially the exquisite miniature teapots. Where did your mother find them?
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I love that little bird - so sweet!
This is such a nice thing you do. Everyone enjoys the Show & Tell so much. The little doll dress bookmarker is really unique. It amazes me how many clever ideas people come up with. I like blue and yellow too. It's a very nice combination.
Hi kelli, your collection of tea cups is great...My post is ready....
So sweet, those bookmarks. Girl, I just love the color on your kitchen walls. So cheery!
I'm hoping to get back on the show and tell track soon. I really enjoy participating when I get to.
Kelli, those mini teapots are lovely.
Can you use them for tea?
What a wonderful birthday you must have had....I hope it was wonderful.
Don't you love handmade items, they are alwasy so special! Dianntha
You have sucsh a pretty kitchen. I especially like Mr. Blue Jay. Birds RULE!!
How cute the dishcloths look all stacked together - and I love your little blue jay.
We have a one legged blue jay that comes to our bird feeder - he's a riot and we love to watch him!
Those tea pots are so cute, you are very lucky to recieve great gifts :)

Hello. Stumbled upon your Show & Tell from the Mid Life Bliss blog. I just so happen to have posted a vintage Elsie the cow hanky and several of my husband's grandafather's cow collectibles that we inherited on my blog today. I shared a story along with it too. I hope it is the sort of thing you are looking for. Look forward to future show & tell. Lisa
Kelli I am catching up on so many postings here! I've just NOT been visiting very much as I am mobile now and spend very little time indoors..making up for lost time!
I feel badly that I missed your Birthday and other special events you posted her!
Happy belated to you Kelli I adore you and your family!
Kelly in looking back I held my breath in seeing your wonderful (((MOSS WREATH!))) did you make that! It is just so gorgeous and I have been looking for a different wreath to hang on my front door now that Christmas has passed! This is pefect! Thank you for all that you share! I love the kitted wash cloths! hugging you NG xo
You received some lovely gifts Kelli - and I just love hand knitted dish clothes too! We use them for faces in the kitchen since both children are sensitive to dish soap and it is easy to keep the 'knitted' separate from the 'boughten' - and out of the dish pan! You tea pots are terrific! You are indeed loved and blessed! I'm so glad your heart sung on your birthday! Blessings!
Good morning, I left a little something for you on my blog!
Hugs, Sharon
Happy Birthday, Kelli! What lovely gifts you received! I especially love the little crocheted dress and of course the mini-teapots! Totally awesome!
LaTeaDah
I love the little doll dress bookmark! The handmade goodies and teapots were such lovely gifts too. The window looks so pretty with everything in place.
I'm glad to know that someone doesn't think me weird for my taste!
As for knitting...I need to just camp out at your places for a few days and have a knitting camp or something. Just knit allll day. I'll learn it well then! Right? ;-)
yes, I can see how happy Phillip would be with that!
I hope he's feeling better!
All such pretty cloths, I sometimes will buy some when we go to craft shows. Your tiny teapots are cute too. If you just celebrated your birthday --- Happy Birthday to you.
I skipped Show and Tell this week but plan to join in the fun next friday, I still am visiting around though.
You have some very pretty things. While visiting I had a look round 'your place' & like, wow! A room just for schooling? Green with. We use Sonlight & some Charlotte Mason too.
Your birthday gifts are lovely! I am in awe of your home, I've looked at all of the pictures, and it is stunning. You have such a talent for making your house a "home". Absolutely beautiful.
What lovely gifts..thanks for sharing. I especially love those mini teapots :)
Michelle
Your friend Kelly is not only very kind, but very talented, too! She made you some lovely gifts!! How sweet!!
And I LOVE Mr. Jay and the adorable acorn!!! Too cute!
