Show and Tell Friday: Boyd’s Tree House

show-and-tell.jpgKelli at There’s No Place Like Home created and hosts a fun activity called “Show and Tell Friday.”

I’ve been collecting Boyd’s Bears resin figurines for years now. Most of them have come from my mom and my husband. I love them all, but this one is a special treasure: a Boyd’s Tree House. My mom got it for me — I am not sure where she found it. I have never seen them in stores or on the Boyd’s site.

My mom’s “love language” was definitely giving. She collected things all through the year to give at Christmas. She always gave generously and always wished she could give more. She delighted in finding a gift she knew her loved ones would like. She passed away about a year and a half ago. I miss her terribly and would much rather have her than any “thing,” yet the things that she has given me over the years remind me of her love.

So this is a treasure to me because it is cute and unique, but especially because it’s from my mom.

This is the overall view — I couldn’t get a satisfying picture of it, but you get the idea.

Here are some close-ups of some of the “rooms”:

I’m not sure, but I wonder if some of the individual scenes are supposed to represent some of their past figurines. The little cook in the above picture looks very similar to this figurine:
