Show and Tell Friday

Today is Show and Tell Friday. It is hosted by Kelli and you can enjoy more Show and Tell posts by going here. I was looking around my house the other day and realized I had quite a sunflower theme going. So, I thought I would share them. Here is a sunflower growth chart I have for my Mary girl and as you can see she is just sprouting up so big and tall (a little too fast for mommmy).



My husband bought this hand painted sun catcher for me last summer as a "just because" gift.





I have these place mats on my table.




I have had this little bird house and sunflower on my kitchen window sill for several years.




I even grew a real live sunflower in my garden this year!



Thank you for letting me share my sunflowers. Have a blessed Friday!

It is amazing how we tend to collect things like this without even knowing. All of yours are wonderful.

I adore anything with sunflowers, so you know I loved your whole post. I grew sunflowers this year too, but as soon as mine bloomed they wilted.

Thank you for sharing
your sunflower treasures.

Aren't they just the best? A local framer sells them by the bouquet and I always stop and buy some!

Enjoy

Hi Elena! I think this is my first time visiting your place. I had some time so I was able to read through several pages of posts to get to know you and your sweet family a bit.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your comment. I'll be back to visit again soon!
Kindly, ldh

Hi Elena,
Yes Mary is growing up so fast and getting more beautiful everyday. If that is possible! I thought how sweet of Rich to buy you the sun catcher just because, looks like we both are so blessed with men that God had chosen just for us!
Love all of your sunflowers.
have a great weekend,
Blessings,
Sue

I, too, love sunfowers. One year Jim and I were given some extra large seeds. They did well for one year but never did after that even though we collected the seeds.
Thanks for sharing.

Love,
Enda

Hi friend! I apologize for my big silence the last month or so. I have been overwhelmed with school and the baby and have barely had the opportunity to be online. I plan on catching up now though. Lots of love to you!
