Show and Tell Friday



It's Show and Tell Friday time again! Last week we had a record number of participants...over 300!! Whoohoo!  Thank you all so much for joining in! 

Can you believe I'm sharing something that is not blue, pink or white today?


This is a new (to me) plate that a coworker gave me!  You may remember she gave me some gorgeous pink dishes a last month! 


This beautiful plate was made in Germany.  I love the green and yellow color combination! So fresh!





If you are joining in on Show and Tell Friday, please remember that your Show and Tell needs to be something from your home or garden. Please read the Show and Tell Guidelines for step-by-step instructions on how to participate. If you would like to join in, please enter your name and leave your exact Show and Tell blog post link, not just your blog link and as a common courtesy link back to my blog.

Thank to all of you that join in every week!

    Love the green of the plate against the yellow of the lemon topiary. So bright and fresh and spring-like. My MIL gave me some german plates a month ago. I could swear one of them had that same RC sanssouci mark. I'll have to dig it out and look. Thanks for sharing and for hosting this party.

    That plate is beautiful Cindy, I love it! What a generous kind person you're co-worker is:) I have your pumpkin/spice cake muffins in the oven right now, they smell so good and I can't wait to taste them! I must have a very small muffin tin because I ended up with more like 18. Thank you for sharing the recipe and for hosting your party every week:)
