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! I have some new gifts to show you today. Recently, I participated in a homemade gift swap and my partner was LaTeaDah from Gracious Hospitality. May of you know her from the lovely Tea blog-a-thon she has been hosting. Here is what she sent me...
Two of the softest hand towels with gorgeous trim.
A pretty piece of needlework framed in a Victorian style frame.
I especially love the ferns and roses!
Some lavender handsoap and bodywash, a candle and a sachet filled the dried lavender.
The lavender is from LaTeaDah's own garden. I can't wait to try adding a little to scones and shortbread.
Since my bathroom is done in lavender with green accents, these gifts are perfect and I have already found a home for everything. Thank you so much, LaTeaDah!
Thank you for looking at my show and tell!

ReplyDeleteI'm getting 'error messages' when I try to post a comment.
ReplyDelete3rd time's a charm.
Anyway, as I 'said' ---these items would be a fabulous fit in my master bath too. I have the same color combinations...plus plum wine with the lavender & dark green *hint*
My show n tell this week, in honor of mother's day coming up, is some of my mom's cooking implements --all antique now.
Have a glorious weekend.
