"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.

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!
