Garden Decorations~Show and Tell Friday!


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! I've been cleaning up my gardens in the last couple of weeks, and thought I would share some of my decorations.

You have some sweet and magical decorations! I love the last one as it looks vintage. I have one similar to that I got in Big Lots.
Mine will be making an appearance in a month or so-I have so much cleaning to do outside myself!

Heather said...

Very pretty, I like the bench.

playsdolls said...

What wonderful outdoor decorations you have,I would love that little fairy.

CarJax said...

I love all these pretties, Kelli. Especially the four little birdies on the leaf. I spied that at a store the other day. May have to break down and get it. :) Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Blessings, Jax

I love the evocative birdie bath.
Here's mine if you'd like to look. My server won't let me link up. I'm working on the problem. :-)

I really enjoy seeing the southern warm yards and gardens greening up since ours are still brown.

These decorations in your garden are little treasures to enjoy! I love the little bird baths!:)

I have a pretty special treasure to share today;) I hope you have time to come visit and see!

Janet said...

Oh what a magical garden you must have! A place to retreat and gather your thought together! I love every one of your special ornaments!

Unknown said...

I love that little bird bath.

It reminds me of a lovely old garden I used to visit as a child. It probably was not that large, but in my mind it was HUGE with lots of little corners with interesting treasures to discover.

Secondhand Blessings said...

They're all so cute!
I favor the two birdbaths.
As of today, spring is officially here!

I love the bird baths, Kelli. Your garden is always so beautiful!

Hootin Anni said...

That birdbath is darling!!! I so love gardening, and this showing of all your neat stuff is superb. Well done.

GratefulPrayerThankfulHeart said...

Hi Kelli! Your garden decorations are sweet, especially the newest one. I haven't begun yard work yet but have noticed the weeds beginning as well as tiny primrose flowers and the tulips and hyacinth peeking out of the ground. The lilac and flowering almond are showing growth on their stems as well.

Enjoy your weekend!

Jane said...

Thanks for sharing your garden decorations. It makes us all want to get out and work in our yards although I don't think it is as warm here in NC as it is there. It is a little cooler weather for us this weekend. As you can see on my sight I am still being an inside bookworm.

Irene said...

Hi, Kelli,
You have extended your heartwarming skills to your garden. Beautiful.

Debbie J said...

I love your garden decorations! Thanks for hosting Show and Tell Friday Kelli.

Mary Anne said...

I love your garden decorations, Kelli. My favorites are the little bench and the tiny bird bath with the four little birds all lined up in a row;-) Thanks for hosting Show and Tell Friday.

Blessings,

Great garden decorations! I love the birdie bird baths! Jean

SmilingSally said...

Nice garden decor. I wonder how big/little that bench is.

Karen said...

I can imagine how beautiful your garden is going to look with such lovely decorations.

I enjoyed seeing all your garden decorations. I'm anxious for it to get warm enough here in CT so that I can start setting my things out in the gardens. Since today is the first official day of Spring, I hope I don't have too much longer to wait. I was at Michael's just yesterday and was looking at the birdbath with the little birds around it. I put it back, but just may have to go back when it is on sale. :-)

HAPPY SPRING!

Your garden decorations are so cute. I have a new fence going up in my backyard for the dogs to run free... can't wait to get outside and play again.

Katie @ makingthishome.com said...

Oooh warm weather is on the way. Looks like you're ready, too. Yeah!

Little Penpen said...

Sorry, Kelli... I added my show and tell link and then accidentally deleted it when I was trying to add your link. I don't know how to recover it and I don't know how to remove my name from your list. Maybe next time.... :o(

Elena said...

Kelli, those are just beautiful. I love garden decorations too. I was out working in my garden yesterday evening and it was so nice to see spring arriving!

They're all lovely, but I especially like the bench and the new mini birdbath. Very sweet!

How pretty, Kelli! We are so deep in snow up here, I don't know when I will be able to think about gardening. The pictures are an inspiration!

Lady Katherine said...

I love the garden sign! The birds are so sweet! I wish I had some dragonflys! Yours is so pretty! Spring has came to your home.

TJ said...

Kelli your decorations are beautiful! My dogs and kids have been destroying the few I have. I'm hoping the weather stays warm and the thunder showers hold off so I can finally get out there this weekend and begin the clean up. Right now the only green is the crocus and the weed/lawn growing in there.

Jane said...

Kelli

Kelli,
Thank you for your show&tell.

Kelli, I know you were formally from Canada. I heard today that their were Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan. I wanted to let you know I am praying for those families that lost their love ones. My condolences to Canadians.

I love all of your garden decor. I started to buy that leaf birdbath at Michael's the other day - it is precious! I might have to go and get it. I thought I would put bird seed in it since I have a hanging bird bath. Have a great weekend.

Oh I just love all your garden treasures, especially that mini bird bath. Can I ask where you got it?

How sweet is your mini birdbath for the doves to drink from.....

Your garden photos are beautiful. I enjoyed browsing through them.

The birdbath is too cute. I just bought it too and put a candle and potpourri in it in our bathroom. Have a look at my blog and you'll see it!
Hugs!!
