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!

Your blue things are lovely! I really like Marjorlien Bastin's art, too.
My-my-my...your attention to detail is wonderful. Everything looks so fabulous! I love how you've got the bird theme matching the canisters...so delightful!
Wonderful to get those cannisters at a bargain price!! The blue theme is so pretty.
I posted about birds today too!

I have always admired this pattern and think it was terrific that you were able to get these at such a bargain. I love the arrangement with the other items on your hutch. Very lovely, indeed.
Your canisters are lovely! I really like Marjolein Bastin art also. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for hosting Share and Tell Friday!
Lovely canisters, Kelli ~ I have a love for all things little birdie & butterflies as well. I shall have to look at Marjolein Bastin art, or perhaps I shouldn't........I may not be able to resist! Have a blessed and beautiful weekend with your family.
Congratulations on your wonderful finds. They look just perfect on your kitchen hutch with all of your other decor. You have such a good eye for a bargain and then bringing it home and finding a lovely place or use for it. :-)
Love, Debbi
What lovely treasures you have found. Everything looks so beautiful on your hutch,
I love Marjolein Bastin. I used to be crazy over buying her greeting cards and framing them.
Iris
Wonderful blue treasures. Thanks for sharing them.
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Looks very cheerful and fresh ! I think my cats would like them, lol !
Kelli,
Thanks for hosting. You do such a great job.
Blessings,
Barbara Jean
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!
Tove
I love Marjolein Bastin too...I have her calender in the kitchen this year. Those canisters are beautiful! The little figurine is cute too!
I especially love the blue butterflies on your kitchen jars - so pretty.
Thanks 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.
I'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.
Hi Kelli
I 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.
G'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.
Those are beautiful, Kelli! I love the pattern.
Nice canisters Kelli. I have three very similar but they are white and red, and not in a good shape!

I am SO jealous!!! I gotta find those cannisters, she is soooo my fav artist! Thanks for showing us those beauties!
Love the birds.
Cindy
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!
This would be a good BLUE MONDAY post.
I love blue paired with cream. And I love your style. :)
Blessings... Polly
I thought those prints looked familiar! ;)
Marjolein 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.
Blessings,
Sherry
Your bird themed items are beautiful, but I LOVE those salt and Pepper shakers. Very sweet.

Brenda
Your canisters are so pretty. The perfect shade of blue!
I am a fan of Marjortien Bastin also. I have cards that were done by her. Your post is lovely, all the shades of blue just seem to melt into each other.
Have a great weekend,

Kelli,
Your kitchen canisters and your flowers look so lovely!
I just love coming to your blog!! It is so refreshing-- I think it is the most beautiful blog online!
I would love for my blog to look so lovely--
Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Miriam :)
p.s.-- Marjolein Bastin is one of my favorites, too. I have been looking for the litte birds.
Kelli,
I forgot to say--
Sorry, I haven't been over for a visit in while. My activities have taken me out of the home and I would much rather be at home.
Miriam
Hi Kelly, absolutely beautiful.
I just love everything you make and now you leave me enchanted by your blog! Many Blessings to you on this Mother's Day, Julie
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.
Hope 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
Kelli,
Was 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
I 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.
