Participating in Show & Tell Fridays at Kelli's is one of my favorite things to do. If you haven't participated I encourage you to do so!!!! Go here and learn all about it, sign up on Mr. Linky and then spend some time visiting the blogs of the participants and see the wonderful items they Show & Tell.Remember the wonderful 3 gifts I won recently when Tammy of Country Girl At Home celebrated her 200th post with a give-away? And, then won even more in getting to meet Tammy. My 8th blog friend to meet in real life!!!!
Today I wanted to show you how these lovely gifts look now that they have found their permanent home at my house. This small area is between the window and the baker's rack that hold plants and cookbooks....the minute I took the items out of the box I knew just where their home was to be.
The shelf, that Jason made!!! (I am so impressed with that!), is just the right size to house 5 of my smaller Angel collection. From left to right, on the top shelf are 1) 2 little angel girls holding a "Best Friends"sign. This was a gift from my forever friend, Joan. We've known each other since we were 6 & 7 years old. 2)My angel that I bought when we visited Nova Scotia in 2000. She is clothed in the Nova Scotia tartan blue plaid. 3) This lovely metal angel was a gift from my blog friend, Retha, who lives in So. Africa and had it made especially for me and shipped to me. I was, and am still, so touched by this.
Sitting on the pegs below are 1) a little raggy angel that I bought for myself and I don't remember when or where, but I just love her. 2) this is a 1979 Christmas angel ornament.
Hanging below the shelf is the "Believe" stichery piece. I just love them both and how perfectly they go together and look. The small pineapple bowl (not shown) sits on top of my nearby hutch.
In addition to participating in Show and Tell here at Penless Writer I am also participating in it on my frugal blog,...Hands & Hearts.....for HIM. Please go here and see what I am Showing & Telling there.
When something is handmade it becomes extra special.
