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'm sharing a few things around my front porch and yard. I haven't finished all of my fall decorating yet, but I have a wreath on the front door.
I got this old fashioned dinner bell at Hobby Lobby this past year.
This large basket holds bird seed and peanuts (for the squirrels).
Since we lost our big tree this spring, I put my birdbath and feeders in the front flower bed.
We have lots of sunflower seeds for the cardinals.
Thank you for taking a look and thank you to all who join in for Show and Tell. I always enjoy seeing what you share!
This weekend, the girls and I are going on a camping retreat with our Faith Keeper's group. Phillip says it isn't even close to camping since we have cabins, real beds and our meals are provided, but we are having a campfire and s'mores, so I say it counts! I'll be back next week with pictures!
Remember, that your Show and Tell needs to be something from your home or garden. Please read the Show and Tell Guidelines for step-by-step instructions on how to participate.

A very happy autumn to you! I'm still looking for inspiration for around-the-house fall design, but I'm sure some blog-hopping will do the trick. Your wreath is lovely, and I look forward to seeing what else you do in the house.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly...your fall decor is looking lovely. I have the same Welcome plaque!! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your wreath! I also see that we both love to feed the birds. Aren't they precious?
ReplyDeleteLove the picnic basket!
Have a great day!

I wished I could find such a nice bell to put outside. Sometimes when we are in the garden I can't hear the doorbell, that would be a nice solution.
ReplyDeleteLove your wreath too !
I love the wreath. I still have decorating to do outside and seed to put out. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Elizabeth
I love the way you follow the seasons decorating your home, I whish we could have the same tradition here.
ReplyDeleteHello Kelli
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has asked me to see if I could get a recipe for Sweet Potato Pie (with marshmallows?) from a US blogger. You embrace fall and Thanks Giving so beautifully I thought you would be the person to ask. Do you have a favourite recipe?
Kind regards - Joolz
Hi Kelli!
ReplyDeleteyour porch area look wonderful! And so inviting!
Have a wonderful weekend!
We have a dinner bell also...but not from hobby lobby. I don't know where ours was originally, but we found it at an antique store in Tucson.
ReplyDeleteMy Show N Tell is a dolphin painting this week.
Have a super day and wonderful weekend Kelli!!
Real camping indeed. The real question is where are the bathrooms? If you have to leave the building where you sleep and walk to the bathrooms, it counts as real camping. And are the showers communal? That's another important consideration. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures!

Kelly, Your front door looks beautiful with the fall wreath. Hopefully you will have beautiful fall weather on your camping trip!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those s'mores while the birds enjoy their treats.
ReplyDeleteOh...I love that dinner bell. So cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty and welcoming! I especially like your wreath!!!
I hope you and your girls have a fun weekend camping!! And, yes, it does sound like camping to me, too!!! YAY for campfires!!

Your front door area is beautiful. I love that wreath...it says 'fall' in a lovely way! I like your bird feeders as well.
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Debbie
Your fall decor is just gorgeous. I hope you have a great weekend. Sounds like such fun. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your dinner bell!! Enjoyed looking at all your pictures, but that was my favorite. Thanks for the tip, maybe I'll pay Hobby Lobby a visit and see if I can dig something simular up. :o) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath, Kelli. I especially like the new fall header on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting so graciously!
God bless,
Mrs.T
I have a feeder like that one.
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep the squirrels from chewing on the basket. We had our seed outside in a plastic tub. They chewed through the corners so we've moved it to the garage. They will chew on anything. Thanks for sharing and thank you for hosting each week. Enjoy your retreat. I say, it is camping. You'll certainly make memories. Yesterday, my daughter and I were remembering similar retreats that we went on when she was in college and I was an adult Girl Scout. Fun stuff.

Hi Kelli! Sounds like camping to me. That is about as close to "roughing it" as I want to be. Explains why we have travel trailer complete with microwave, CD player, etc. etc. HE! HE!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Benjamin going to be?
Have a great week-end. Love, Debbi
How welcoming your front door is! Smart idea on the basket! I wouldn't have thought of that! Camping is in the eye of the beholder:) Have fun:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty decorations! Hobby Lobby is an awesome craft store their doll furniture is very realistic (as well as easily breakable).
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful, Kelli. Enjoy your camping trip!
ReplyDeleteI really love your Fall wreath and the welcome plaque with the bell is beautiful. I think that is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you feed the sqirrels and birds.
Have a wonderful weekend on your retreat.
Iris
Happy camping!
ReplyDeleteI just love your front door wreath, it's gorgeous and so very welcoming! Your yard always looks so nicely decorated for whatever season and it's such a treat for us to be able to see them through your pictures:-) Happy Autumn dear Kelli! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty area! Love the welcome sign and bell and little bird feeder especially.
ReplyDeleteAnd I say that counts as camping. :-)
LOVELY post... fab photos!
ReplyDeleteI love the bell and the basket! I haven't been to Hobbie Lobby in a long time. Maybe I should plan a trip!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love the bell. I wish that we had Habby Lobby!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Leann
Beautiful. I don't have an eye for things as you do.
ReplyDeleteCindy
I like your bird feeders in the flower bed. I have been looking for a thrift store deal for one to put back by my bench. I like your basket on the porch. Do you have any trouble with it getting wet and damaging the basket? I pulled out my fall decorations this week and got a closet cleaned in the same evening. I love the fall weather. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at the things on your porch and yard. The wreath on your front door is so pretty! Have a wonderful time this weekend with your daughters!
Everything looks so beautiful! I love how everything is still so lush there! We are really dying here and drying out - Utah is so quick to loose it's summer bloom. Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI want to do this friday show and tell but haven't quite figured it all out yet :^(
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely welcoming front porch.
ReplyDeleteNow why can't I ever find anything like that lovely bell when I visit Hobby Lobby. Wait, I know why, my hubby is following me around saying "Can we go now?"
God bless.
Autumn is my favorite season and I love to decorate the house in those great colors. Your wreath is lovely and I know your house must look wonderful to everyone who passes by!
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteYour fall decor is always so inviting. So pretty!

ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your campout. :)
Absolutely beautiful photos of a beautiful house and yard.
