Welcome back to Show and Tell Friday! I received many wonderful gifts for Christmas and I'm going to share a few of them with you, today.
My mom gave me this sweet Thomas Kinkade Christmas cottage teapot.
I'm a big fan of hedgehogs, and this mug was a gift from my sister. It's perfect for my morning cup of coffee.
Phillip surprised me with Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea on DVD.
We always watch it on the first day of fall, but I may make it an "every three months" tradition. :0)
And finally, an beautiful portrait of Daisy, that my mom painted. We all love it!
She was about 9 weeks old.
As you can see, I'm spoiled! Thank you for taking a look at my Christmas gifts!

ReplyDeleteHy, first I send you and your family my best wishes for the new year. We got the Avonlea tales for our christmas. My daugther and I loved it. Sorry for my english (I'm a french visitor).
ReplyDeleteYes, you were treated very well. Your mom is a talented lady to be able to paint like that.
ReplyDeleteDaisy looks like she could turn her little nose and give you a nudge! Great portrait! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful gifts - especially love the Anne of Green Gables DVD.
ReplyDeleteToday I share about my parents dining room!
I see talent runs in your family, what a neat tea pot, and darling hedgehog cup! The painting is just perfect!!! (and I love that series also:)

Hi Kelli ~ love your Christmas gifts! I didn't know you liked hedgehogs. A dear friend of mine loves them! They are such cute little things!
ReplyDeleteIf you email me your address I'll send you a little hedgehog surprise!
Have a super special day!
What gorgeous gifts you had.
ReplyDeleteThat portrait is wonderful
Happy New Year to you and I hope it is filled with love and laughter, health and happiness for you and your family.
You got some great presents, Kelli! The painting of your puppy is so sweet. I think my favorite is the Anne of Green Gables DVD's since I'm an AoGG junkie from way back!
ReplyDeleteHave you read the prequel "Before Green Gables" yet? I am reading it for the second time right now.
What a beautiful picture of Daisy! Your mom is so talented.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy watching Anne of Green Gables - it's such a fun movie - definitely worth watching every three months!
Revee
You ARE a lucky girl! I love your special things and just love the painting of your sweet Daisy. I wish you a happy, healthy 20091
ReplyDeleteYour mom is so talented - what a wonderful painting. Love Anne of Green Gables - we try to watch it once a year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Manuela
Yikes, I accidentally put the link for today in the New year's post and then came back and did this one. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteYour gifts are great. I like the hedgehog mug.
I have been told that my daughter would enjoy Anne of Green Gables, since she is one of the biggest Little House on the Prairie fans in the world (seriously into it, as in wears the outfit, spends a lot of time on LHOTP forums, and knows EVERYTHING about the books and TV show)
Enough about my LHOP obsessed child. Your gifts are wonderful. Thank you for sharing and also for Show and Tell Fridays.
I love that painting your mom did, it is excellent. I really like Anee of Green Gables. I probably won't post anything this Friday for show and tell, but next week probably. I've got a busy day today. Have a great weekend. You received lots of very nice presents. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet painting!
ReplyDeleteI got the Anne DVDs, too! I've been wanting them for a long time.
What a cute teapot!
I thought the hedgehogs were Reese's peanut butter cups with a bite taken out of them at first. :-)
I have been wanting Anne on DVD...sadly, I have not gotten it yet! Those are wonderful gifts! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this idea - the hedgehog mug is just the sweetest thing going. Have a wonderful day, and a great start to 2009!
ReplyDeleteFeeBeeKay
your tea pot is gorgeous and the mug is super cute! i'm glad show & tell fridays are back! i don't know if i'll be participating today or waiting until next week. we have been so crazy busy around here i only have a second to jump online. I hope you had a great New Years!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Kelli. They are all wonderful gifts given to you by people who love you very much.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end. Love, Debbi
Those ARE some very well thought of gifts! Love the paining, your mom is super talented!
ReplyDeleteYou are spoiled. Beautiful gifts but I LOVE that your mom painted your puppy for you! That is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI love your Kincaid teapot. It is beautiful. The painting of Daisy is lovely. And isn't it time for PBS to run AoGG? If not, I need to rent it.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is a very talented lady! Enjoy your gifts. ;)
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful gifts! It looks like you had a wonderful Christmas!
Your mom's painting of your sweet puppy is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for the close ups of the painting. I love art! Those eyes are so real looking. I have seen that look before; made me want to hug her! :)
Miriam
I love Anne of Green Gables too! That is such a beautiful painting of your dog. I have a painting that my sister did of my beloved kitty when I was in High School. My little kitty is gone now, but I still treasure the painting my sister did. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKelli, everything is so lovely! Your mom is a fabulous painter!! I have always wanted to paint animals....am trying one of my sister's dog but who knows! :) Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is great! And, growing up in the Maritimes, I always loved when Anne of Green Gables came on TV. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteYour mom is a really good painter!
ReplyDeleteI have the Anne of Green Gables series which I taped myself when Kristen was still quite young (grade school?). It would be nice to have them on DVD. I think Megan Fellowes (sp?)was the perfect Anne.
Anne of Green Gables is my favorite. We probably do watch it every 3 months.
ReplyDeleteThat portrait is gorgeous. Did you also inherit the artistic gene?
ReplyDeleteLove your gifts, Kelli.
That painted picture is THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful gifts you received! I love the Anne of Green Gables and the portrait of your beloved Daisy is just priceless. Your mom is so talented!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Happy New year to you and yours!
Wow! Your Mom is so very talented.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture, the teapot and the DVDs.
Thanks for sharing your gifts. You are loved!
Mama Bear
Hi Kelli :) Happy New Year to you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful presents! And I wouldn't say spoiled at all - just very well loved ;)
Have a lovely wknd, Q
Wow the detail of the painting of Daisy is awesome. Love Anne of Green Gables too.
ReplyDeleteI love the tea pot! Your Mom is a great artist. I have never seen Anne of Green Gables, If you see it that much, I need to see what I missing out on! lol
ReplyDeleteOh Kelli first of all I love everything on your post today!
ReplyDeleteI collect tea pots and I'm always on the look out for the perfect hutch to display them.
The Anne of Green Gables series is one of my favorite books and movies
Your mom sure is one talented lady, that picture of Daisy is adorable.
Wow...your mom painted that. That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year.
The things you posted were lovely. Your Mom is such a talented painter. How old is Daisy? We have an eight month old Golden named Patrick that we have totally fallen in love with. What a special present for your Mom to give you! I've read your blog for a while now and now that I have a blog myself I thought I'd join in today on Show and Tell Friday. What fun!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! Your mom is amazing! Does she do that for a living? I love this blog! I'm late for today but I can post my coupon book! ;) Hee hee. I need help with it! I'll be back next week.
ReplyDeleteThe Southern Housewife

Awesome Christmas gifts, Kelli. Your mother sure is a fine artist! And Daisy is a very beautiful doggie anyway.
ReplyDeleteNancy
My husband and I love Anne of Green Gables! He actually purchased me the books many years ago as a Christmas gift. Am glad you enjoyed your Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with the Anne of Green Gables DVDs, I thought I was the only mad person who had them. There is a third one too. I hope you enjoy watching them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteI got your package in the mail yesterday! Thanks! Love the thank-you stamp that you used!
Have a fun weekend!
What truly thoughtful gifts you received for Christmas! They are so sweet:)
ReplyDeleteLove them all- love the teapot--I'll share mine little collection sometime. Love, love,love Anne of Green Gables-I have all 3 in the series.
And the painting, what can I say? Daisy's nose even looks wet in the picture:) So realistic! You have a very talented mom and I'd say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say:)
Have a wonderful weekend, Kelli, and Happy New Year.
Linda C
What a beautiful painting - your mom is so very talented.
ReplyDeleteLove your Thomas Kinkade teapot! It reminded me of the Mary Engelbreit teapot that I posted recently but now I wish I had this one too. Thomas Kinkade's work just warms my heart! Your teapot is so whimsical and the details are amazing. Enjoy it! :)
Wow! Your Mom is an amazing artist! She painted even the small details with such precision, it's just amazing. You can really see Daisy's expression and mood in her eyes. Love it!
ReplyDeleteKelli, such wonderful gifts you received and I must say the painting of Daisy your mom painted is absolutely magnificent! She is certainly quite talented:-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your gifts. I can tell a lot of thought was put into them. I also left a link for Show and tell Fridays...what a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Madeline
I love the first 2 parts of the Anne series but part 3 is just *not the same* ... watch them at least once every year and it's hard to believe they were filmed in 1986 :o)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful gifts! I especially love the portrait of your dog that your mother painted and the teapot and hedgehog mug are precious. I also received one of my favorite movies on DVD from my husband this year. Thanks for sharing.
Rosie
I don't think you can ever get sick of "Anne". I love watching all the movies and I heard there is a new one that came out in Canada about Anne finding her dad.... I wonder if it will be good? Happy New Year Kelli!
ReplyDeleteThe portrait of Daisy is the best...an amazing gift! Thanks for sharing all your nice gifts.
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas presents are absolutely lovely! It seems that each one has a special meaning to you! :)
I also want to let you know that I have enjoyed your blog very much. You have beautiful pictures, crafts, recipes and writings. I hope you will accept a small award from me to let you know that I appreciate your blog. Please see my blog's latest post.
What a fabulous picture of Daisy!!!! Your Mom is amazing, how talented!!! Oh treasure that picture!! Being a big fan of Thomas Kinkade, I loved your cottage, I had not seen anything like that before by him, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKelly
I got Anne of Green Gables on DVD for Christmas too. I love it. I just finished watching it last night. The cinematography is beautiful. I love the wholesomeness of it. What a fun tradition to watch it on the first day of fall.
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteYour mom is very talented!! Thanks For sharing.
