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! Thank you to everyone who shared their paper crafts and also for the sweet comments. Today, I am sharing some of my special childhood jewelry...
My Great Grandma left this tiny heart necklace to me when she passed away.
A favorite pin from an Aunt.
This ballerina's legs and arms move back and forth.
I wore these sailboat earrings when I was 13-14 years old. Every single day. :0)
My mom and dad gave me these clip-on earrings when I was 9 or 10 years old. I had just had some dental work done and they were a special gift.
Speaking of my mom, today is her birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom!
Thank you for looking at my show and tell and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

HI Kelli! I loved all of your cherished jewelry. You are so sentimental about so many things. I love that about you. Thanks for sharing.
OH YES! Happy Birthday to Kelli's Mom. Hope your day was special in every way.
Love, Debbi
Childhood jewelry is so special with all their memories. You have such pretty pieces.
Happy birthday to your mom! Oh, jewlery with a story is absolutely the best kind... even if it's nowhere near as expensive or "pretty" as some of the things you see in the store. Of course, when it is both beautiful and sentimental, it is doubly wonderful!

Priceless!

I love your jewelry and the special memories that accompany each piece. Happy Birthday to your mom!
Dear Kelli,
I love the sweet jewelry!! How sweet that the pieces hold dear memories! I have posted some Easter decorations for Show & Tell. Thank you.

These are sweet little treasures. I think it's cute you use to wear the little boats everyday-wishing to see the ocean?
I have my old jewelry box and look through it once in a while.
Happy Birthday to your Mom too!
Those are precious pieces! Love that you still cherish them...Kathy
very pretty
I never had jewelry when I was a child, but I think that was due to the time too because it was just after the WW 2 and people were more thinking of food. Pretty little pieces you got !
I'll bet you are the memory keeper of your family. I think it is so sweet and special how you cherish your family treasures.
Happy Birthday to your mom.
Beautiful - lovely to trasure, and hand down to your kids.
I understand why you wore those sailboat earrings every day; they're darling.
You have some lovely pieces of jewelry, thank you for sharing.
Those are very special pieces and I love every one!
Lovely things.

Your jewellery is lovely. A very happy birthday to your Mum.
Beautiful pieces Kelli!!!
Thanks for sharing your jewlery; I hope you treasure them for many more years to come.
Brenda
lovely treasures as always
I have a very different show and tell today - hope it is OK
Have a great weekend
Good on you for keeping them since childhood. I have added my S&T for the first time. I hope that it is OK because it is not an item from home but something I made on the computer.
What a blessing that you have somehthing like that to cherish!
What beautiful jewelry. More and more I am treasuring those remains of childhood.
Happy Birthday to you mom!! Thank
you for the journey about the jewelry
It brought back memories for me.
Have a wonderful day.
Loved seeing your special pieces and hearing the story that goes with them.
Happy Birthday to your Mom!
Mama Bear
precious jewelry pieces! And a big happy birthday to your mom today!
Kelli,
Your jewelry is lovely and brings back such memories. My childhood jewelry is put away but I now have a strong desire to take it out. :)
Blessings,
Gina
Happy Birthday to your mom! I pray she has a blessed day. Hope all is well with you. I'm trying to get back in to the blog world after the battle with cancer. Miss you much ~ {{HUGS}}
Help! Under 43 I entered my full name as Cindy D., just automatically. Can you delete it or tell me how? I am the Cindy under 44, so that one is ok, I think.
Thanks
You have some beautiful pieces of jewelry. My family weren't big jewelry people and I only remember getting two pieces of jewelry growing up. I think I only have the ring (two little pearls) now.
How lucky to have your childhood jewelry. I was such a tomboy that I never had very much jewelry.
Thanks for sharing!
Linda
Oh what sweet treasures. I enjoyed seeing them. Happy Birthday Kelli's mom.
BTW I wrote about Show and Tell again maybe some of my visitors will stop here too.
Have a Great Day.
Hugs,
Sherry?
p.s What is Daisy up to.
That's so nice that you have some cherished jewelry from your Grandma, Aunt, and parents. I think keepsakes like that are invaluable;-)
Have a great weekend.
Blessings,
Mary Anne
Wish I could participate this week, but I can't find the camera anywhere. :-( We bought a darkwood diningroom table off of Craigslist for $75, and I was going to show it off with my grandmother's doilies. Maybe next week.
What fun, Kelli. It's so nice that you have these keepsakes. I'll bet that just holding them in your hand brings back a flood of nostalgia.
Happy Birthday to your dear mother!
I enjoyed your treasures today.
Happy Weekend to you!

God bless.

I love sentimental pieces. Great post. Happy Birthday to your mom. Hugs, Marty
Hi Kelli,
I love all your jewelry. It's so sweet, especially the ballerina and sailboat earrings! Thank you for sharing them.
I hope you Mother has a lovely birthday!
Such a sweet collection! I love sentimental jewelery too! I have a birthstone ring from when I was 9 years old and some other things. I treasure them very much! The little ballereina pendant is so cute with arms and legs that move!
Your jewelry is just precious! So sweet:) Thanks for telling us the stories behind them.
And Happy Birthday to your mom!!

Hi Kelli,

Happy Birthday to your mom!
Oh Kelli
Your posts are alwyas so heartwarming. I love that you shared your childhood jewelry. It brings back so many memories.
Leann
Your sweet jewelry brought back so many good memories for me. I have collected a few pieces along the way, but like you, none are so cherished as my grandmother's necklace. It truly is priceless.
Of course I posted my link in the wrong Friday before getting it right!
Happy S&T Friday..and thanks.
Sue
I posted a link to my piece of jewelry.
Thanks for all the wonderful blogging Kelli!!!
Beautiful jewelry! And it will be so special to hand them down to your girls too.
My Show & Tell may be a bit borderline on the rules, but we had a huge surprise today, and I posted a photo of it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Kelli, Thanks for sharing this great treasure of jewelry. So special! Blessings, Jax in Alaska
I think it is wonderful that you still have some of your pieces of jewellry from childhood. Such a great thing to keep for your own children!
Your jewelry is priceless Kelli.. I started working in my Mothers jewelry store when I was 15 and a few years later I became a Jeweler and worked on an repaired jewelry. I would be so terrified working on heirloom pieces.. I knew they were priceless to the owner. To calm myself I would imagine stories about each of the pieces and all the social events they most likely wore them to. Thanks for sharing and for hosting show and tell.. now I don't have to imagine stories anymore.. I get to experience the real ones behind the lovely priceless pieces.
Have a blessed weekend.
Debbie
Such treasured jewelry pieces, how wonderful that you've held on to them!! Happy Birthday to your mom:-) xoxo

Happy Birthday to Kelli's Mom! :-)
Oh, this is interesting. I'm not familiar with Mr. Linky. I do have some jewelry I could post from my great-grandmother and I have a giveaway on my blog for children's tiaras and princess bags. Thanks Mrs. Linky. :)
Linda
Thanks for hosting us Kelli and I enjoyed your post about your chilhood jewelry. It is not the jewels that they are but the memories that are the treasures!
Linda Q
It was wonderful to see your childhood jewelry. I have already given alot of mine to MY girls and they love it!
Happy birthday to your mama, Kel! Beautiful jewelry! My own mother and I were just remembering some of the jewelry that I grew up with while talking over pieces that my grandmother had given us.
The ballerina is so cute but how precious is the heart necklace from your great grandma! What a treasure.
Hope your mom had a wonderful birthday! :)
I'm late, had my second eye surgery and just now doing my comments!
These are really special pieces from your childhood! Love the ballerina!
Katherine
Those are all lovely!
I know I don't comment much these days, but I do enjoy reading your entries. I'm planning on making a homemade card in the next couple of weeks and am going to refer to one of your tutorials!
I hope all is well with you guys!
OMGosh! I had those same sailboat earrings!!! Mine were red, though, but I did wear them a lot too! I love all your jewelry. I was at a loss at what to post, so maybe next time I'll pull out some memorable jewelry too! Thanks for sharing!
Be Blessed!
