A Few of my Favorite Things

for Show and Tell Friday

I chose a few of 

my favorite things 

to show you

A sweet little hair receiver

that my sister found in a box

she bought at an estate sale

ok, so it's not perfect and has a crack in it

but I fell in love with it 

and don't you know, that wonderful sister

gave it to me

I think it is so beautiful

just one of my favorite things!

MR. PEANUT

I loved Mr Peanut as a child

I just thought he was the cutest with 

his top hat and cane. 

This is some sort of card that my 

mom found in my dad's stuff

after he passed away.

It really brings back memories

 I remember my dad taking us to a 

Peanut factory when I was younger

(this was when I fell in love with Mr.Peanut) 

just one of my favorite things

MY GERALDINE BELINDA BOOK

And then there's the charming little 

Geraldine Belinda book.

I had this book as a young girl

and must have read it a hundred times.

It was all about a little girl that goes

to the store to get some candy

It had a really neat little lesson 

to be learned from it

just one of my favorite things

MY PRECIOUS RAINBOW BIBLE
My parents gave to me

in 1962 has been with me ever since

I remember when we moved to a new house

when I was about 16 and hanging out in

the living room with just a flashlight, 

a bunch of boxes and the sofa.

I started reading the bible to my younger

twin sisters. We were waiting for everyone 

to come back from the house we moved

from and it was getting dark. I think we were

even a little bit scared but as I read the bible

I remember feeling so much better. 

This little bible has also served my husband 

and I in times of crisis.

just one of my favorite things

Most of my favorite things 

really are not things..

but the people and memories associated

with these items.

What about you? 

What do you hold close to your heart?
