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! Today, I am sharing two new treasures that are on my kitchen hutch.
Two beautiful canisters from one of my favorite artists, Marjolein Bastin.
They were originally priced at $15.95 each, but I got both of them for $4.00 at the local thrift store.
I have several other special blue things nearby...
Another one of her pieces that was a gift many years ago.
Toile napkins.
Tea luncheon sets.
Along with tiny blue eggs.
Thank you for taking a look at my new canisters and favorite blue things. Have a wonderful weekend!

PS I love those canisters. They are so bright and cheery.
Love the little birds with the pot and seeds too.
Your canisters are beautiful.... You always inspire me! I`m down with the flu at the moment, and your little birds made me happy! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteTove
I love Marjolein Bastin too...I have her calender in the kitchen this year. Those canisters are beautiful! The little figurine is cute too!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the blue butterflies on your kitchen jars - so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Oh, I love Marjolien Bastin's art, too, and have many of her pieces, AND,most of them came from thrift stores! My whole bedroom is decorated with her things. How fun to find someone else who likes her, too. Most people don't even know who she is when I talk about her.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found those beautiful pieces! They are treasures.
God bless you - Julie
The little birds eating the spilled seed is too precious and the canisters are beautiful - they have a real nature study flair to them.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli
ReplyDeleteI love all your blue dishes and cannisters. Those little birdies are just to cute!
Happy Show and Tell Friday!
~Ann
Kelli those are really pretty. I love the blue.
ReplyDeleteG'day Kelli! I especially love the bird's eggs in the cup and the small box of seed with mini-birds. This is so enchanting.

Oh, I love those Kelli! :-) Is Marjorlien Bastin the one that does the greeting cards? They're my favorite. I didn't know she did other things like calendars and dishes! Have a great weekend Kelli!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a good BLUE MONDAY post.
ReplyDeleteI love blue paired with cream. And I love your style. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings... Polly
I thought those prints looked familiar! ;)
ReplyDeleteMarjolein Bastin is Dutch, and illustrates for a very 'big' national magazine..
There's a large department store that sells lots of her stuff (like china, canisters, etc.) around here..
I LOVE them too! My husband recently bought me a 'special mug' which features seashells, drawn by Marjolein.
Greetings from the netherlands!
Lovely, I want to live in your house! Have a great day in this sunshine. I hope to be in the garden this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sherry

What beautiful canisters! I've never seen anything like them. I just love Marjolein's work. I don't know why anyone would give them to a thrift store, but I am glad you snagged them! That little art piece is sweet, too, as are the napkins and eggs.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Hi Kelli, I was looking back at your other posts and I was wondering if oyu use a cricut to make your paper crafts? Or do you use punches..I dont have a blog so maybe on your next post you could post about what you use..thanks
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteWas the little box with the seed and birds from a friend?
Would love to know where the birds came from.
thanks,
blessings,
Barbara jean
The canisters are beautiful. love the designs on them
ReplyDeleteI have the entire canister set from Marjolein Bastin and need to replace the lids only on the two larger ones. I found a small canister on eBay but would love to find the lids I need. My mom, would died in 2010, loved MB and would always buy her cards for me. I have a box with a Nativity set that I bought her from Mexico..the lady that's selling the canister has the same box in the picture. I love your decor.. my house is Country French in yellow and blue.
