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.
I have a couple of birthday presents to share with you, today. I have a very sweet friend, Debbi, that I met through blogging. I have enjoying getting to know her better over the past few months and she sent me a surprise package in the mail last week.
A beautiful Anne of Green Gables doll that belonged to her, but she thought Grace, Emily and I would enjoy her. I keep her displayed on top of my bedroom desk.
Isn't she pretty?
Debbie also gave me the sweetest hankie to add to my collection.
I especially love the bluebirds. Thank you for taking a look at a couple of gifts from my special friend and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

She's beautiful ... love those green eyes! My Mother is a doll designer and has done quite a few for Seymour Mann and has sold many on QVC. I'll have to show some of the special ones shes made for me one Friday.

I haven't been able to see Mr. Linky for parts of the past few weeks; I'm not sure what the problem is on my end of the computer, but I would love to join in! Would you, perhaps, when you have time, post this link for me?

I loved Anne of Green Gables ~ I read the books too many times to count. My favorite L.M. Montgomery book was The Blue Castle.
I have watched Anne of Green Gables so many times I can't count them. And also read the books. Prince Edward Island is my dream vacation spot.
What a beautiful little doll and the hankie is so pretty.I have watched Ann of Green Gables but never read the book.Wonderful friend you have to send you such a beautiful gift.
What a lovely doll ! My mother also had a doll collection, I collect cats as you know, lol !
I love the doll! My dad and mom used to love the Anne of Green Gables movies and I can't even guess how many time I watched them with my parents. What a neat present :O).
Hi Kelli
What lovely gifts! The doll is just adorable but that hankie takes the cake!
Love, Ann
Oh! Anne of Green Gables is BEAUTIFUL! I love the detail, those freckles and the little satchel. What a special gift! I always think its so "proper" to carry a handkerchief! I love yours! I can almost hear the blue birds chattering away!
Aww...I love Anne! And the vintage handkerchief is so cute!
Kelli, I just realized that my post that I linked may not qualify for your show & tell. I am sorry about that--I should've re-read the guidelines. Please feel free to delete my link. I totally understand.
How thoughtful. Thanks for sharing them.
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Your Anne doll is so sweet! I love everything Anne of Green Gables:) Most every time I bake and use brown sugar, I smile as I am reminded of Marilla's "twenty pounds of brown sugar":)
Such a sweet little hanky too!
Have a great weekend:)

Lovely doll, so beautiful. I liked even more the hankie because it reminds me the ones I had when I was a little girl.

I love the doll and the hanky takes me back to my childhood. I remember having nursery rhyme hankies and loving them
thank you for the inspiration to share something today i have wanted to share for a long time.
This is the Debbi that left a sweet comment on my blog! Kelli, folks amaze me all the time with their shear unkindness or the very opposite.....KINDNESS! I seem to see one or the other only these days...(something wrong with me I guess.). Anywho...These are wonderful gifts!! How sweet! As usual, I AM JEALOUS of the neat & pretty things you show us on Fridays! LOL...love ya!
How thoughtful of your friend ~ Anne is so pretty as is the napkin.
Your pictures are always so nice and professional. I'm afraid my camera (and the person taking the pictures) isn't too good! Thank you for hosting Show and Tell Friday.
Debbie J.
Adorable! How sweet of her to think of you! Enjoy your day!
Kelli, What a sweet new friend you've found in Debbi! When a friend sacrifices a gift for another, you can tell they are a friend for life! ;) Very sweet share today~ ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups". You should love my rubber band boxes today that I shared about.
That was so thoughtful. I love the hankie. Have you posted your collection?
Wonderful gifts. Anne looks like an Irish colleen! Thanks for sharing. Happy Show and Tell Friday!
Happy Birthday! Oh I just love your Ann of Green Gables doll. She is just exquisite. Such an adorable face and dress. I love vintage hankies, they are so sweet. Yours is just beautiful with the birds. So pretty. Hugs, Marty

Love the doll and the hankie is so cute. What wonderful gifts.
Charlotte
I really like Anne of Green Gables. A few years ago, I was able to visit Prince Edward Island with my family. It is a beautiful island. Your gifts are nice.
That is a very special gift. I knew who it was right away. I'm wondering how tall she is since you said you keep her on top of the desk.
Happy Birthday, again.
Mama Bear
I love Anne of Green Gables ;o)... at least the first two movies. The books are all wonderful. What a sweet birthday gift.

Hi Kelli! Anne looks very happy living with you and your family in Texas. I knew she need a change from living on the shelf in the closet. HE! HE! HE!
I am glad that you liked the hanky too.
Have a great day. Love, Debbi

Hi Kelli;
Just wanted to drop in and say hi and to thank you for visiting my blog and also for hosting this Show & Tell Friday & the paper craft Thursday's.
The doll is so sweet. I've never read the book "Anne of Green Gables", I already own it so as soon as I finish the book I'm currently reading, I plan to read it.
Brenda
I received an Anne of Green Gables doll when I was 16, and just love it! It's not out, though, and I really should move it for display! :) What wonderful treasures she sent you!
I love Anne of Green Gables! Your doll is so pretty...I love her! What a thoughtful gift. :-)
That hankie is fantastic! Looks straight out of the page of a children's nursery rhyme book.
It's wonderful to have blogging friends, isn't it!
TJ
OH MY! My family this past month has been completely immersed in Anne....we just LOVE her! I even posted about it last month!
In fact, we were just watching the movie again last night! :D
Your doll is absolutely beautiful! I'm going to show my girls...:D
I love your Anne doll! I have a few little ones of my own. As a matter of fact I have titled our guest bedroom the "Anne of Green Gables" Room. :o)
Very sweet gifts! I still have dolls around my house and enjoy fussing with them. : )
Love the hankie.
Aww what a cute hankie and sweet doll. Have a great weekend!
Sounds like you and Debbi are 'kindred spirits!'
What a special gift.
Darling pocket hankin', too!
:~P
How awesome is that? What beautiful gifts!
I have that same Anne doll. My grandmother gave me the series when I was younger and I absolutely loved them. Of course when I saw Anne I bought her! Thank you for the bird stamp resource! :)
What a beautiful doll! I have always loved the movies and have a small glass doll of Anne that I love!
What an adorable doll! I'm sure your girls will love it! And the hankie is darling!
Gina
Hi Kelli,
THANK YOU for visiting my blog - even and ESPECIALLY when I've not joined the blog train on fridays of late, just not thinking ahead and not planning well and being very busy. Soooo - your visit really REALLY touched me.
I'm glad your friend spoiled you, you deserve it. The doll is absolutely lovely and the handkerchief unique!
Happy Weekend!
♥ Barb
Hi Kelli,
I enjoyed looking at your gifts! How thoughtful of your friend. Have a great weekend! :-)
Dear Kelli,
The doll is beautiful--I love dolls! I have posted a show and tell item--a little late in the day--it was a hectic day. Anyhow--this is my first time participating! You have a lovely blog! Thank you & God bless--
Molly
Love the Anne doll. One of my daughters is named Anne, and even has green eyes and dark hair! The hankie brings back memories of the type my Mom always had, all ironed and folded, in her top drawer.
Thank you!
Cass
Kelli,
The doll is a beautiful and thoughtful birthday gift . Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books!!!
I know you both will get a lot of enjoyment from her.
Blessings,
Sue
I have a special love for the Anne character, especially since I live so close to her home - so naturally I think your new treasure is just beautiful. In fact, she looks in perfect condition.
Your Anne of Green Gables doll is beautiful.
I sent you an email and an invite.
Let me know if you got them.
The doll is beautiful, my granddaughter is into collecting porcelin dolls, she is only 16, but she has quite a collection started. Thank you for sharing.
What a nice friend that gives you such beautiful gifts! I too collect hankies - this one is so much fun!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
What a darling little doll and the hankie is precious too! Aren't you the most special one! lol
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh the doll is adorable, I LOVE Anne of Green Gables :)
Cute little Ann. Love the freckles. I'll be making some of your cards too. Very cute design, as usual. Mimi
I love your Anne of Green Gables doll and your old fashioned hankie. I collect hankies, too!
Your photography is excellent, by the way. How do you get such natural lighting?
Elizabeth
Once upon a time, I had a very similar Anne doll - she was my treasure! We had some younger friends from church over to lunch one Sunday and since I was 'really too old to play with dolls any more', someone convinced me to give away my sweet Anne. It is fun to see your 'new to you' Anne doll - she is in great shape! I am sure mine didn't fare so well! I'm glad yours was treasured and will bring your girls a little taste of Green Gables!
Your gifts are so sweet. And what a precious friend to share them with you. Anne is just darling - exactly right! And the hankie is just about the cutest ever. I wish I had kept my childhood hankies. They were so sweet. ~Adrienne~
Oh, Kelli!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the doll! ♥
And the hankie is adorable too!
Thanks for stopping by and wishing me get well. ♥
I want to begin participating in Show and Tell again soon!
She's lovely. What a sweet gift from your friend.
Very cute doll, you must be a wonderful friend to recieve such a lovely gift.
I hope to partisipate in your Show and Tell Sunday someday soon.
I always keep you listed in my "Friends" section because you are so full of good ideas and I love the cards you make. I love making them also, but sometimes I draw a blank about what to make. You are wonderful.
Shanda
I LOVE that Anne of Green Gables doll! How sweet was that of her to send you such lovely gifts.
She just made some sweet memories for you didn't she.
I think that's great when that happens.
She must be a true "Boosum friend."
I have sent you an award. Please come take a look. Have a great day!
Wonderful birthday gifts. The Anne doll is just gorgeous, enjoy her.
God bless.
Kelli,
You always show the prettiest things on your blog...and I love to see the cards you make!
Thanks for stopping by--and for hosting "Show & Tell." It's always so much fun.
Karen
What sweet gifts from a new friend...hugs, Linda
I love that hanky - it's one of the coolest I've ever seen.
I just received a doll from a blogging friend. It's the Barbie Irish Step Dancer in honor of the celtic posts I've been writing.
I love Anne of GG. Not the book, tho - it's too treacly for me. But the miniseries - superb. Just last Sunday I watched Megan Followes (sp?) as she played Anne during WWI when she goes to Europe to find Gilbert. I never knew Lucy Maude Montgomery continued to write about Anne after her childhood.
Hey, Kelli. I am making the black berry lemonade for a party tomorrow. (You posted it on 5-30-06). I'll blog tomorrow night how it goes, and post a link to that recipe.
Thanx a mil for all the ideas.
The doll is adorable.. oh and I remember when my son was in scouts... father/son cake bake brings back memories.
Anne is so pretty, I just love her.
I am a fan of anything Anne of Green Gables. I had all of her movies, but then we went to DVD so I must buy another set.
Happy Birthday. And I love your Monday...I cleaned house, not much more you can say about that. Moved all the living room furniture...yikes! Hugs, Mary
