Final Snow Show and Tell

***Ladies..I am sorry if I haven't visited you yet. Blogger was having some issues this morning and I could not go anywhere - I will try to get caught up***
Finally putting away the last of the snowmen and starting to decorate for Valentine's Day! For Show and Tell at Kelli's I wanted to show my Fenton snowman candy dish. I only have 2 pieces of Fenton, but this is a favorite piece of mine. I love the deep cobalt blue with the white cute snowmen.


So, away with the SNOW - which of course, we never had to begin with and on to Hearts!!! Another favorite holiday of mine.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I am off to visit the other Show and Tell's!

Hahaha! I still have my snowmen up! I guess they will take their final bow soon though. I enjoy looking at them since we don't get a lot of snow.
I love your candy jar!

Charity said...

What a beautiful dish! I am enjoying my snowmen as well. I will probably leave them up for a while, since I don't have much for Valentine's decor yet. :)

Look how cute the little snowman's face is! Oh, and ya I'm so ready to put away the snow. Maybe if you put away the snowmen, it will magically make the snow disappear here! Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I used to collect Fenton in the 70's. I had to have the yellow because it went well with my harvest gold and olive green! The blue is gorgeous!!

It is sad when the snowmen go away! But what a beautiful piece! Carefully packed it away so when it's time to come out again, it'll be just as beautiful as it is now! Enjoy your weekend. Hope you're feeling okay!

Hello!! I am so glad your "prize" arrived!! I hope it works on your cell OK!

I love that darling Fenton snowman! What a treasure.

I know giving up the pup was a hard decision, but you know how you feel (physically) and it IS hard keeping up with them. When our daughter moved back in with us while she goes to nursing school, she brought Izzie! Izzie was a year at that time--not house broken---a tad on the wild side. She nearly drove me nuts until we got the bathrooming issue taken care of. She's a year older now (2) and settled down quite a bit--BUT she has her wild moments!! We had a dog for 12 years when the kids were young---I wasn't really thrilled about taking on this one, but we do what we have to for the kids! Anyway, I adore my kitties, cuz they are so danged easy to take care of! :)
Thanks for the info on the fob!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Love the snow man, but I'm with you, even though snow is forecast for tomorrow, I am ready for Valentine's Day.

Evening, Ceekay! Oh, I didn't realize Fenton made sweet glass items like this. It's just precious!
Oh, Dear One, I'm so sorry you're not able to keep your little puppy! I know it must have been so hard to give her up! Just take care of yourself and maybe later on it will work out for you to have a little dog.
Love ya, sweet friend,
Shelia ;)

Carla said...

Love this blue!!! Please share your Valentine's too:)

Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) said...

Thanks for the visit to swing in to see the miniature tea set. It is so appreciated. I can't have all the tea sets out at one time and have to store many of them. I've since stopped collecting. I've obviously run out of room for the little things. lol

Evening, Ceekay! Oh, you make me blush! My brain is always in a million and one directions all the time. Things just pop in my head! lol

Love, love, love this Fenton piece. Thanks for sharing it with us. Also, thanks for your recent visit. To answer your question, the glitter is Martha Stewart which is sold at Michael's. It is a little pricey, but it is a nice fine texture and comes in some lovely colors.

By the way, the picture frame in this post came from Dollar Tree. I finally got there and had a lot of fun. Thanks for letting me in on that secret.

Have a nice weekend.

I know what you mean about putting away the winter things. Where is Spring anyway? I am SO ready for it!
Thanks for stopping by to say hi yesterday!
Blessings on your day today,
Kymber

My mom collects Fenton, and someday it will be mine!(if I don't make her mad and then she smash it all-LOL) I love the dark blue and the snowman is just TOO CUTE!

Julieann said...

Ceekay---Your snowman jar is just beautiful. I really enjoy your blog--I am putting it my google reader so I can keep up with you--and my sidebar if that is okay?

Happy Weekend.
