I really appreciate all of you sharing your gifts and talents here at Show & Tell. Together we make a pretty awesome team!

Mary is one of our many talented cooks. If you’re looking for a nice summer salad, I think you will enjoy this apple pecan chicken salad.

Saturday’s Show & Tell Showcase

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Sharon ت

I like that y’all bring a little bit everything to Show & Tell: gardening, recipes, home decor, crafts, d.i.y., and various tips. It takes all of it to make a house a home, and I truly love anything to do with homemaking.

So, today, I will feature one or two links from each category. Let’s start with gardening.

All you flower lovin’ gardeners, including myself, will love the gorgeous display at Miss Gracie’s House.

Did you know that you get a big return for your investment on landscaping when you sell your home? Curb appeal is the first impression a potential buyer gets.

Danette at The Shady Porch has created a garden oasis in her front yard.

Let’s go inside now and look at some home decor. A foyer is a great place to tell your visitors a little something about the family who lives in your home. Micki at ADD Houswife took the opportunity to do just that.

I think this entry says “fun and creative.”

Who doesn’t love a good kitchen makeover? Julie at Red Head Can Decorate saw the full potential and great bones in her future kitchen.

Red head really can decorate! Speaking of kitchens, I think we all love a good recipe.

Mary’s Cinco de Mayo menu is filled with great recipes that are great for any day of the year.

Margaritas and summer time go hand in hand. All this talk about margaritas has me thinking about happy hour….happy hour projects that is. Adrianne shares a really cute idea for an end of the year Teacher’s gift.

I’d wear it as an anklet all summer long, til it fell off. I told Adrianne that my favorite part of any teacher gift is remembering the student who gave it to me.

And my favorite part of hosting a link party is showing off your projects. Congratulations on your features! I have a button for your if you want to grab it.

I will also be pinning all of today’s features on my Show & Tell highlights board on Pinterest. If you pin anything you see here today, please click on the link above each photo to be taken to the original source. That way credit can be given where credit is due. Thanks!

Until next time,

Sharon

a rose ere blooming

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Sharon ت

Last night, as I was despairing over the lingering, gloomy weather, I wondered, “Where is my sunshine on a cloudy day?”

This morning as I glanced up from the computer to admire the fresh cut roses across the room, I realized I had my sunshine.

These roses have been the bright spot of my week. I brought them in to put in a vase after trimming my knock out roses earlier this week. I’ve delighted over the fact that I have fresh cut flowers from my very own yard. I beamed with pride the other night as I cut the stems, trimmed the leaves and whipped up a d.i.y. solution for the water.

As I so often find, nature has pointed me to our Creator.

Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming, as men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.

Isaiah ’twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
Mary we behold it, the Virgin Mother kind.
To show God’s love aright, she bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

The shepherds heard the story proclaimed by angels bright,
How Christ, the Lord of glory was born on earth this night.
To Bethlehem they sped and in the manger they found Him,
As angel heralds said.

This Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere;
True man, yet very God, from sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.

Until next time,

Sharon

Lessons in Decorating

Posted on October 23, 2011 by Sharon ت

Earlier this week, I posted Birds of a Feather and in that post was a picture that ended up “speaking” to me.

This is what I wrote about this photo, “My camera is peeking in through the back of the birdcage to the open door on the photo below. For some reason, this scene makes me think, “I’ll be dadgum. She really did it. She’s gone. She’s free.” Then, I smile knowing “she” is out stretching her wings…soaring to new heights.” Then, later this week, I was replying to a comment on my T.J. Maxx Treasure post, excerpt below: Read the rest of this entry →
