Show and Tell Friday


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!" 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!

I love doing this! Today I am showing off the first strawberry from my garden. Granted when I purchased the plant it had one berry on it already. Hubby and I shared it....it was sooooo good! ;) And the other picture is of a punch bowl set I purchased at the yard sales (for 4 dollars....it came with 12 cups) last weekend for Sweet E's Hope Chest. Her hope chest is pretty full already. Now I am off to look at other people's show and tells.

Yum! I love strawberries. The punch bowl set is beautiful. I'm glad you and your daughter have started her a hope chest. I never hear of young girls having these anymore.

BTW, I am now the proud owner of the Edwardian apron pattern! Off today to get the fabric!

Oh, that looks so good. I am off to the grocery store in a few minutes to buy some of my own. Maybe I'll make strawberry shortcake for dessert tonight.

Thanks for stopping by my show and tell today. Don't you love show and tell?

By the way, there is a wonderful book called "The Big Hungry Bear" that we used to read over and over again to our kids when they were young. It is the cutest picture book. It is about a strawberry, a mouse, and a Big Hungry Bear. Absolutely adorable. I think it is written by Don and Audrey Woods if I am not mistaken. Worth a trip to the library, or Barnes and Noble :) Enjoy!

You are too nice to share the first strawberry. My daughter always used to get ours (when we had them). She didn't even wait to wash them!

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" 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! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

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! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
