Show and Tell Friday

Posted on by

Kelli at There’s No Place Like Home hosts “Show and Tell Friday” asking “Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there’s a story behind your special something, that’s even better! If you would like to join in, all you have to do is post your “Show and Tell” on your blog, copy the post link, come over here and add it to Mr. Linky. Guidelines are here.

I’ve been eying several things in the Cottage Accents line at Michael’s. When I found out they were discontinuing the line and had marked it all half-price, I snagged these:

Our family room is basic tans and beiges, and I wanted to bring in those colors as well as some blues in accessories, so these fit the bill.

My middle son’s girlfriend often came over on Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evenings from college, and since school was out, she traveled back to her home state for the next several weeks til they meet up again at the camp they will be working at this summer. We have enjoyed getting to know her this year. I am so glad they have done most of their dating at home. Before she left she gave us these and a sweet note thanking us for letting her come over and do laundry and spend time away from school here.

And this was an early Mother’s Day present from her to me:

  1. How sweet of your son’s girlfriend to give you such thoughtful gifts. She obviously thinks the world of you!

  2. I so need that chocolate emergency kit! Too cute! I have chocolate bandaids…guess that will have to do…hmmm, where did I hide those???

  3. Look at these pillows, they are so lovely! In last week I bought some linen napkins, that is so close to your pillows pattern. Maybe I need to find pillows too. (And a chocolate emergency kit like every girl.)

  4. Fabulous find…I adore getting bargains at half off, don’t you? And that emergency kit is just what I need. Every day of my life.

    My show n tell in honor of mother’s this weekend, is some of my mom’s antique cooking implements.

    Happy Friday!!!

  5. What lovely colors all your treasures are. And 1/2 price. Wow!

  6. Barbara, I can see she is going to be a great daughter by love. You don’t have any girls of your own so she’ll be a treasure to you. You must be special to her too for her to already feel this way.
    I love the candy tin. I’d like to know where she found it.
    I love those boxes too, I always try to grab a few when they’re half price.

    I knew you collected Boyd’s. Are you an F.O.B. member? This was in the new catalog that came with the 2008 kit.
