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, I am sharing some of our special Christmas treasures. I enjoy new decorations, but the ones we've had for many years are my favorite.
My Nana gave me this snow globe when we visited Canada last year.
A friendly snowman that rests on top of a door frame. I got him shortly after Phillip and I were married.
My mom always put these Victorian Christmas bunnies out at Christmas time and now they live at my house. :0)
I have a weakness for Advent and countdown calendars. This one has little pouch with velcro candy canes, sleighs, teddy bears and more.
Another countdown calendar that I got from Avon over 10 years ago.
And finally, our Nativity sets that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. We have one on our entertainment center and another under our Christmas tree. Thank you for taking a look at my show and tell!

Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed looking at your decorations. I really love your nativity...the colors are so rich looking and I think the fabric you are using is so pretty!
Kellie, I accidentally put my post over at paper crafting thursday first. Would you be so kind as to delete it for me? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteyour decorations are lovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! Love the little snowman on the door moulding, and the snow globe from "Nana"!! I love seeing other people's special treasures!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic Friday!!
Blessings, Becky
Kelli, I loved all your special decorations, but I especially liked the snowman over the door frame--I have never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Show and Tell--I made it:)

The snow globe is so pretty and I love the bunnies.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte
I felt in love with your Christmas bunnies ! That's really special !
ReplyDeleteI love the snow globe it is so glittery! I like that kind of thing!
ReplyDeleteYour nativity is very detailed and
lovely. Thank you for showing us your
treasures!
Kelli, I especially love the display in the bathroom! Very delicate and beautiful. Also the snowman on the door frame. I like things that work that way - (it looks like it should fall down but it doesn't). I think that's clever. And the Santa countdown calendar. That's really clever too with the number blocks!
ReplyDeleteNancy

ReplyDeleteHelen

I loved hearing about the stories behind your Christmas Decorations. I really love the snow globe and the nativity. I am continuing with my daily Christmas blogging - today it is my nesting Santas.
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are truly sweet...they are things that I would love around my home, as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally participating this week! I'm showing some old home made ornaments...
Blessings,

I LOVE your special christmas treasures.
ReplyDeleteI have a countdown very similar and the rabbits are too cute for words
Lovely things Kelli !! I love the snowglobe, that is one of my favourite things too.
ReplyDeleteThe snowmen at the doorlist is very cute too and the calendars, such great ideas !!
Have a wonderful day !!
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, beautiful Christmas decor! :)
I asked another blogger this question and will ask you, too. I will be starting my Etsy shop in the near future and saw that they only allow hand-made items, which is great. Yet, I have seen many things on there that are obviously not handmade, i.e. Thomas the Train, cookbooks, etc. I was going to post some homeschooling books that I have but don't want to go against the rules. Thoughts?
I love the green cloth with the nativity set. It really brings it together.
ReplyDeleteI like 'em all Kelli, but the Santa countdown from Avon™ is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteToday I share a Christmas Fairy Tale from a special holiday edition at our home.
Happy Weekend everyone
You've been Tagged!

Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI like the snow globe and it is special since it came from your Nanna. The snowman on the door frame is also cute. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed Christmas.
Sorry Kelli, You will have to delete #31. It automatically came up with my address to Thanksgiving link.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to Christmas so I can get those treasured decorations out of the box. They bring memories of happy times and family now and gone =)
ReplyDeleteEverything is beginning to look

What a lovely snowglobe!
ReplyDeleteThe snow globe and the Nativity setting are my favorites-the fabric under them is a great idea!

ReplyDeleteoops; pls remove number 44. Thanks. Nancy
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your decorations! That snowman that sits on the door trim is so cute and the snowglobe is my favorite!
Manuela
Your decorations are truly special. I enjoyed looking at the photos.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosting show & tell.
Your decorations are full of memories for you and that is so special. They're all lovely.
Oh, Kelli, after months of wanting to participate, I finally got it together enough to do it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh and that snow globe is beautiful. I love your priceless treasures.
That is such a pretty globe--I have not seen one like that before! I love the quilt behind the bunnies--nice touch. And there is always something so exciting about advent calandars!!! The nativity is so nice toooooo!!!
ReplyDeleteMine's up, but I am not sure it's an "item". I wanted to blog about it anyway. By the way, I LOVED garlic bread twists, thanks for that recipe back in July.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your decorations - each one is special because of the memory behind it. Thanks for sharing that too!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the snowman above the door:)
Linda C
Thanks for sharing you decorations! I love the Nativity Scene and the Snowman above your door. :o)
ReplyDeleteThe snow globe is beautiful and looks perfect in your bath. I just love your snowman, that is cut out to above the doorway! Now that is wonderful! How sweet the victiorian bunnies are in the rocker, and so special that your Mom had them in her home and now you are carry on the family tradition. You have me wanting to go find my calandar, we always put up for the girls! I gave them each one when they got married, but they still want the one I made long ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Christmas decorations with us. I love your Nativity Scene. I read a friend's blog last week, and she has very young grandchildren. I really appreciated her idea of having one sturdy-made Nativity set down low for the babies to play with, and to give her the opportunity to teach them the over and over the true meaning of Christmas. Great idea, huh?
ReplyDeleteYngwie had the boy rabbit just like yours! I think Santa left it the first year he was born. I enjoy looking at your Christmas decorations.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Linda
i love your snow globe! i used to have the same snowman that sits on top of the door frame!

ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so cute. Your advent calendar brought back such memories for me. My children loved doing the special something each day. I'm afraid they've outgrown advent calendars but I haven't. :)

ReplyDeleteI love your snow globes, I collect them as well. Very nice Kelli. Thx for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! I loved all of your pictures but my fav. was the fabric under your Nativity scene. I don't have anything under Nativity so I think I will get some shiny fabric today and put under mine for that special touch. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeletewonderful decoration...Kisses barbara
ReplyDeleteYour place is looking very Xmas'y! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your globe, Kelli, and how special that it came from your Nana! Silvery Christmas things seem to be my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all gorgeous Kelli! We finally put our tree up, and just a few decorations. With hubby's surgery, I decided that less was more this year.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see your special Christmas decor items.
ReplyDeleteI just got to add my link even though the post was done Thurs. evening and published at 12:01 am.
However, due to the ice storm I awoke to no electricity, no heat, no internet and no telephone. Last night I and my 90-year old mother took refuge 50 miles away at my sister's home. I hope power will be restored so I can return home at least by Monday.

Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your show and tell. It's always fun to display treasured Christmas decorations that hold special memories.
Blessings,
Wanita
Kelli, the Snow Globe is a treasure. I absolutely love it as well as your other decorations.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The rabbits remind me of the children's book, "The Velveteen Rabbit." It's so fun seeing other's holiday decorations! :-)
ReplyDeleteKelli, I love your decorations! Like you said, the new ones are nice but the old ones are treasures! I especially like the Avon countdown calendar. They always have the coolest stuff that you don't find everywhere. Now that I sell it, I have a little too much! LOL Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your Advent calendar and that snow globe is precious!
ReplyDeleteYou've been given a blog award:)
