Show & Tell Friday

Show and Tell
Its Show & Tell Friday over at Kelli's There's No Place Like Home. Drop by for a visit and see who else is there for Show & Tell.

Another very busy week, but I wouldn't miss Show & Tell!

Since it is so close to Valentines Day I wanted to step away from my usual heritage posting, and show you what I have displayed on my pie safe cabinet. I had these berry stems on my Christmas tree and tied them together with ribbon after taking down the tree. The little house is so cute with a felt roof and sort of red siding; I love the wire "smoke" coming from the chimney. Inside the jar I placed a small bouquet of red silk roses. The portrait is of my husband's daughter who passed away in 1977. I love all the red together!

I hope you all enjoyed my show & tell! Have a wonderful weekend.

I like the display that you did! I never thought of using my Christmas berries that way! Your husband's little girl looks like a little angel in that picture. Your decor on the shelf compliments her picture.

Hi Sandra,
That's a beautiful arrangement you did. I love all the reds even when it's not VDay! I'd love to see the rest of that pie safe too! :)

Your pie safe is decorated beautifully. It would be great some time to see the whole cabinet ... I imagine it's a treasure :-)

What a lovely display! That little house is too cute! I am sorry to hear about your husband's daughter. She is adorable. How old was she when she died and what did she die of. How tragic.

Have a great weekend. Sharon
