Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! It's lemon time here in California! I see lemons in almost every yard right now...except mine. For some reason, my lemon bush doesn't have any yet but there are buds on there!
My son gave me a bag full of lemons from his girlfriend's house. Her tree was loaded with them! I used those for my centerpiece.
When my mom bought this tiered dish back in the 60s it had ceramic lemons in it and I remembered it looked so pretty so I recreate that look every once in awhile. This time I added some moss and a few limes to it as well.
I also want to share what my daughter Lauren did to her house key. She saw this idea on Pinterest! She's just as addicted to that website as I am!
The directions said to brush on white glue and then glitter but she used clear nail polish, then glittered it and then she will add clear nail polish to the top of it to protect it. I want to do my house key with white glitter but I'll wait and see how hers holds up first. I don't want a purse full of glitter!

Thanks for hosting Cindy! Wishing we had some lemon trees here. Only bare trees and snow on the ground.

Hi Cindy! I am just about to cook some trout and I started to panic because I did not think I had any lemons. Fortunately I do, but I sure wish I had a lemon tree in my yard! Thanks for hosting!!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Seeing the lemons makes me miss California... No citrus trees here in Georgia, sadly.
Thanks for hosting! :)

Love your lemony tiered centerpiece, Cindy! Cute idea for the key! Thanks for hosting!...hugs...Debbie
The lemons make a great centerpiece. I love that glitter key. Thanks for hosting.
A lemon tree sounds awesome. I bought some at the store today. not the same somehow. they always brighten up a day with their sunshiny color. love the key!
Imagine picking lemons, such an abundance. No lemons growing in this part of Canada. Frost and snow in the forecast.
Thanks for hosting. Lots of lovely posts to read.
That would be wonderful to have lemons in the yard! Thank you for hosting!

Hi Cindy..Thanks so much for continuing to host this very fun and popular "par-tay."
I keep hoping to see your "I got the job" post! Keeping all fingers crossed for you. Susan
So pretty:-) Thank you for hosting
Thanks for hosting again this week. I like your daughters glitter key, so cute. Laura
Love the lemons! When I first moved to California from the midwest, I was so fascinated by the orange and lemon trees! Thanks for hosting!
Hugs, Cindy
I love your lemon centerpiece. After I took my Christmas decorations down, I pulled out my lemons and limes. Of course, we don't have real lemons in Kentucky unless we buy them for 69 cents each at the super market. Mine are plastic but fun and like a breath of fresh air to lighten up the kitchen.
Thanks for hosting!!
love the tiered dish with lemons! thanks for hosting!
Hi Cindy! I have a lemon tree too and just enjoy it so much at this time of year. I've just gathered over 2 dozen and then froze the juice! Lemon pies all winter long!
Thanks for always hosting.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Cindy, I love the yellow with your blues. It is very refreshing. How wonderful it would be to have a lemon tree! Thanks for letting us share

Love the lemons with the moss and limes. So neat that you can recreate your Mom's design.
Love the key. I will wait til you tell us how it holds up. Great idea.
Thanks for hosting,
Blessings, Ginger
Thanks again Cindy-Looking forward to making some candied lemon peels with my lemons!
If any of you have ever visited Sandy's beautiful "My Shabby Streamside Studio" blog (she has previously spoken highly of My Romantic Home), please do so again and send Sandy your best and most healing wishes, as she has suffered some recent personal losses, is having a tough time but blogging onward (scroll down past her Blue/Green post to read about the devastating fire). Thanks, Cindy...as you well know, blog authors give us such eye candy and happy stuff, but we need to remember they also have lives. It reminds me of the old quilting bees, where ladies of olden times would gather from distant farms, have some tea, socialize and sympathize. We're not all that different, over a hundred years later; it's just a different age and time. But we still stick together, bad times and better ones.
Thanks so much for hosting!
Your home always looks lovely!
Hugs,
Debbie
Oh I am thinking lemonade and tea bread. Yum!
Thank you for hosting Cindy!
thanks for hosting Cindy. How lovely to have lemons in your own backyard.
Love your display.
Thanks for letting us show off our stuff Cindy
those lemons are pretty we have below zero wind chill here and a little snow and ice
So love your beautiful and sentimental 3-tiered centerpiece. Love how you used fresh lemons and greenery. I miss having citrus trees when we lived in Florida..no citrus trees here in N.C.! Thank you for hosting..look forward to it every week!
This is a lovely centerpiece. That was a nice little treasure your mother found. Fresh lemons sounds wonderful on this very cold and snowy morning. :) Have a wonderful day!
Love lemons, thanks for hosting!
What lovely images! I bet those lemons smell gorgeous too!
BTW, your berry dish is a.ma.ZING!
Thank you for hosting!

Love the lemons, brings freshness to our homes in the winter!
I could use that beautiful armoire. Happy New Year!
Thank you for hosting! Your lemon centerpiece is gorgeous!
I love it when you bring out your treasured tiered centerpiece plate and load it with something new and special. The lemons look so lovely with the blue accents in the room (luv blue and yellow combinations, anywhere!). Don't the lemons smell fresh and energizing! I feel guilty when I can't use all of mine so, after they get a bit ratty, I run them down the kitchen sink grinder and freshen it up, or they're great just to slice up and rub on your hands to soften and scent. I think your lemon inspiration is the perfect thing for a new month and a new year. Cleansing, somehow.
When life hands you lemons - make a fab centerpiece! Love it and wish I had a lemon tree (not in NJ)! Linking up my Kitchen Collection and Owl Mantel - thanks again.

Hi Cindy!! Absolutely loving your centerpiece with lemons.. Simple yet so elegant!! I am on the east coast. I tried many times to grow lemons over the summer months.. never succeeded. Must be nice to see them on the trees everywhere!! Thanks for hosting such a lovely party!!
Great blog posts this week!!

Thanks so much for hosting Cindy!! Love those lemons as you have them displayed!!
love your display, you have a lovely home. My lemon tree died,so have replaced it,so too small at the moment for lemons,so I too rely on my daughter for my supply. xx jeanetteann

On another note - I love your armoire - did you repurpose it with the chicken wire? I have an old TV armoire that I want to convert into a china cabinet, but I haven't done anything about it as yet - seeing yours makes me want to give it a go!
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Nice post.....I like your beautiful key of your romentic house.

Cindy I don't know how I missed this post. I had 76 lemons on my
two trees this year. I love your
center piece and Lauren's "diva" key.
Great post! The lemons really look so cheerful and happy on these dreary, rainy days we have been having lately. I love your mom's old three tierd holder with the lemons, and limes, in it. It makes a wonderful, yet simple, centeroiece. You are lucky to have a lemon tree in your yard. I have been to California when the lemon trees were bending over from their bounty of the season...lovely!!
I also liked the way your daughter added "glam and bling" to her house key...keep us posted as to how well it held up without shedding glitter everywhere...it is certainly a cute key idea!
Enjoyed your post...thanks for sharing!
Francy
Love the 3 tiered display piece. Your photos are beautiful. Thanks for posting.
