Theme: Candy | Become a Photo Hunter

My latest candy acquisition is one I showed recently since my middle son’s girlfriend gave it to me for Mother’s Day, but it fits and it’s cute, so I am showing it again. 🙂

She found it at Wal-Mart.

This is a 5 lb. bag of M&Ms.

It doesn’t look like 5 lbs., does it?

We used them to put into favors at our Ladies’ Luncheon last year. We also had some printed in words from the Bible that matched our theme (”The Heart of the Matter”) and coordinated with our theme colors (pink and chocolate brown):

You can see more interpretations of this week’s theme at TN Chick’s.

Theme: Old-fashioned | Become a Photo Hunter

This theme reminds me of a song on a Mandy Patinkin CD that I have which has the line, “I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t mind it.” 🙂 I tend to be old-fashioned in a lot of my tastes and views. The only things I’m terribly modern about are my appliances and technology.

I thought of using my show and tell post from yesterday about an old raisin rack and a cross-stitched sampler as double duty today since they’re very old-fashioned. But I decided to go with something different, though this picture also did appear on a previous show and tell post.

I love old-fashioned looking jewelry, and these are a few of my favorites. None was very expensive; all but two were gifts. But I just love how they look.
