~ Show and Tell Friday~Heirloom Dresser ~

It's that time again...

On my last Simple Woman's Daybook I was asked about the dresser in the picture I shared. 

Here is a close up of the drawer's woodwork. 


 It is my hubby's father's mother's dresser. ( You got that ? )  We just inherited it this year after we moved into " The House that God Built".

My hubby now has two pieces from his dad's side of the family.  I love these old pieces.  I am a  antique  collector wanna be.( when and if the funds allow.  But really the pieces we have so far are given to us)  I am very thankful for them.

Attention !!!
  Next week on Show and Tell Friday I will ask for those who want to "Show and Tell" their beloved pets ....please do !  Tell us anything special about them that you want.  Other wise please share something that you want to.

Now....

*** Remember in Show and Tell Friday ...the best way to get a comment is to give a comment. ***

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 , 
please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !

What a beautiful dresser. I love having family treasures around me. It is nice living with history and being able to tell our children stories about their relatives.
Blessings,

What a beautiful piece. I have two dressers that we just love. One is hand made from about 1895. The other is a Sears and Robuck piece from 1900. The hand made one is special because I outbid a dealer at aucion while 8 months pregnate! I had come several weeks in a row waiting for it to come up on the block and I was not going home with out it! It cost me 135.00. That was 22 years ago.

The details on that dresser are really something.
I am sure it is a blessing to you.

I'll work on the pets post next week. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has.

Have a wonderful weekend,

That dresser is beautiful!
I am an antique collector wanna be, too.
Money and space deter me.

I have been so busy, so I haven't done any Friday SNT for a while. I look forward to being back in the groove. I always enjoy sharing and seeing other's SNT. Looking forward to pet share next week.

Happy Friday and hope your weekend is great,
Blessings,
Linda

Hi Mary, dear friend. What a piece of art you have been given. Boy, they really put a lot of effort into furniture way back in the day. I like your idea about "theme" S&T. Perhaps you could publish a list in advance or ask for suggestions? Then we could plan ahead. Have a fantastic day!

What a lovely piece of furniture!

The Coral Island is slow go. I don't know if ds1 is just restless and wanting to have fun now that it's summer or if he's just having a hard time getting into the book.

Beautiful furniture Mary!

Sorry, I'm bowing out of S&T for this week, I've had such a busy last 7 days that all's I want to do is nap. I don't even feel like blogging (gasp). lol We went to a fun garden/open house yesterday of a lady that owns an antique/botique shop and now I think my house is blah - I need to redo the whole thing. lol Have a good weekend!!!

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
