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.
Today is Emily's 9th birthday! I asked her to pick out a few special things to share with you today.
Emily was born in 1999, so for her 1st birthday we had a Time Capsule themed party. All the guests brought small items to put inside: money, advertisements, letters, receipts, etc.
It will be fun to open in another 9 years!
My Nana gave Emily this tiny bracelet when she was born. Her name is etched on one side.
The other side says, "Nana."
A first teddy bear from Grandpa and Grandma.
And finally, a pretty butterfly teacup.
Thank you for looking at my birthday girl's special things! I'll be back to share birthday pictures soon!

What a special Show and Tell! Happy Birthday to your sweet 9-year-old. What good choices she made and what good memories she has.
ReplyDeleteKelli I have an older son, but my oldest daughter was born in 1999February to be precise. I wish that I would have throught of doing a time capsule when all my children were born, That is really going to mean alot to your daugther when she does finally get to open it.... So many great memories, Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Emily! This is
ReplyDeletesuch a cute idea! I saved some
of those little things too, but
didn't have the tin to store them
in. Oh 9 more years 18! for Emily. Where does the time go? They grow
up so fast right before our eyes!
:)
Giving a golden bracelet at the birth of a child is a use in many European countries. My son got one too from his Italian grandma. I find it interesting to open a gift only in 10 years, lol ! What a suspense !
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! They grow up too fast!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I have a daughter named Emily, too. I esp. love the teacup!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Emily....and celebrate your day with many sweet moments...
ReplyDeletetoday is a special day for me too....27 Years ago I married the best of all...Today five years after his death I am thinking about a wonderful time with the whole family....I see my children running with daddy along the beach and laughing.....I remember..
Kisses and big HUGS Barbara

Happy Birthday, Emily!! I have to tell you I just love that bear! It looks so cute and cuddly! The time capsule is a really neat idea! Though it would be so hard to wait to open it! I love that Emily's and Nana's names are on opposite sides of the bracelet.

Emilie
Oh Kelli...this was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd close to my heart because my oldest daughter is about to turn nine in less than 2 weeks! 1999 was a good year! ;)
What a wonderful idea to have a time capsule for babies...I wish mine would have had that!
And love all the other special treasures she has, too!
These will be wonderful things for her to hold dear through the years!
(I just posted a minute ago- very late getting in on Show and Tell this time!)

Have a wonderful birthday, Emily! My Grace will be 9 near the end of July. The idea of the time capsule birthday was really a good one.
ReplyDeleteJenn
Happy Birthday Emily! I like your show and tell choices - just think, if you were in a classroom, only 25-30 other kids and one teacher would see your special treasures - this way your show and tell is for all the world to see and enjoy! How fun! I hope your day is filled with blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your sweet Girl--how pretty she is!
ReplyDeleteI love the time capsule--how neat.
Julieann

ReplyDeleteI love animals so much!!!!
I looked at your fairie garden it is so awesome. I love fairies to!!! today I made a fairie house with the help of my mom and dad. I needed help with the saw. I love making fairies houses. We do it all the time. We are just going to add on to this one though because it is awesome. It is the best we have ever done. We are keeping it forever. I will get some pictures of it and others scanned on my blog tomarrow.
By the way I am 12.
I hope that does not bug you. I am also a friend of miss. Dawns from ~The Featherd Nest~
I was just thinking you might now her. Well bye.

What a wonderful idea...a time capsule will mean so much to her. I have collected things from my kids as they were growing, and it means alot to them that I have.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing special things that make special memories!

Your time capsule party was a great idea! My son was born in January 2000, a bit late for such a thing! :-)
