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.
Happy Friday everyone! Today, I'm sharing some new gifts that my wonderful friend, Anita from My Country Cottage Garden sent me.
Many of you have drooled over Anita's beautiful lavender heart sachets, so I was very happy when I unwrapped this one.
"Fill your life with sunshine and your heart with love."
Anita's handiwork is always beautiful with lots of special details.
I hung it on my mini tea shelf, along with the other pretty heart that Anita gave me last year.
She also filled the package up with other lovely things: an assortment of gift tags.
Pansy napkins.
And 8 of the sweetest little birds!
I decided to tie them to a garland of ribbon to hang on my patio shelf. I spend a lot of time out there and will be reminded of my special friend in Germany whenever I see it. Thank you for the beautiful gifts, Anita!
Thank you for looking at my show and tell and have a great weekend!

I love 'em....I've been following faithfully her craft work and her finished pieces always astound me. The idea of a bird garland is great.
