~ Show and Tell Friday~ Decorating the walls of the House That God Built ~

It's that time....again.

This week my Mom gave us some of the oil paintings that was in the house I grew up in.  The first one is a painting my Grandma ( the Grandma I was named after)  painted.


Here it is again next to the ocean painting we were given by a friend a little while back.

Here is a painting my Uncle from Alaska painted.  I have always loved this painting too.
The wire clock and wall hanging was given ( a little while back..but we just hung it this week ) to us by my friend that gave us our couches.


Here is my early Christmas gift ( meaning the red bowls (..the medium is being washed)  from my mom when we went bead shopping for the Christmas Craft Fair.  I LOVE RED.

I will not be able to visit you all till Sunday because I will be at the Christmas Craft fair for the next two days.  Have fun visiting ALL the Show and Tell's and leave me a note too.


So....If you want to join us  just....


~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome. It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ?  )

~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go HERE

~Then

The picture of Alaska by your uncle is so pretty. We have an oil painting that is a family heirloom. I think it is beautiful, but both my kids dislike it!

How nice to set up S&T even though you're going to be gone. Such faithfulness. I didn't know if you were doing S&T this week or not. Glad I stopped by to check. I LOVE that painting from your uncle in Alaska. It is lovely. The one from your grandma is pretty, but the Alaska one reached out and grabbed me!
I hope you had a profitable time at the Craft Fair and sold tons of jewelry. I hope you didn't sell "my" necklace! LOL

That is really special - to have original oil paintings by people you know and love. My favorite is the one by your Grandma - those colors are beautiful.

I have been very busy myself, lately, so when I came by for show and tell, I went down your posts to catch up on whats going on in your life - I was stunned to see that you will not have water until April? I don't know how you can do that! Please keep us updated. I will remember to pray for you.

It's nice to put things up on the wall. It makes everything feel so homey. Our walls are pretty much still bare, which also makes everything echo.

I love the red bowls. My kitchen is red and I'm hoping to buy red everything for that special room.

Have a great day!

Hi Mary!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm trying to play catch up today. I read down quite a few posts. I've been away for way too long, haven't I? So sorry to hear about all of your struggles with your water freezing. I know how hard it is going without water. We did that for a while ourselves, when we first bought this old farm house. It wasn't very insulated and our pipes always use to freeze. Thankfully, it is now well insulated and everything is flowing. Ha, no pun intended. I will keep you in my prayers. I love red too, and I really liked the painting that your uncle did. Tell your hubby happy late b-day from MiryClay.

*Many happy returns on the day of thy birth
May sunshine & gladness be given.
May the Lord in his mercy prepare you on earth
For a happier birthday in Heaven.*

Blessings,
Lori
