This time of year I love to decorate with a few vintage Thanksgiving goodies! I love vintage turkeys~ they are usually salt and pepper shakers or planters...
My mantle is very simple right now... remember the Farm Ballads book? I've added a singleton shaker and a couple of chalkware turkeys...
I love this fun shaker set on a pedestal... I topped it with a cloche later...
This is a huge transferware platter...I love the colors...
We usually use a fun 1950's set of Franciscan Autumn for our Thanksgiving meal! You can see the great pattern on this divided vegetable dish... I have a large set of this that I have collected from mostly thrift store finds!
It mixes well with lots of colors and patterns! I'm looking forward to using all these fun pieces on our Thanksgiving table this year!
I also wanted to share this wonderful giveaway win I received in the mail this week from Cindy Adkins Whimsical Musings! (I know...I've been really lucky lately! ) Isn't this the most charming Christmas Journal? I just LOVE it! Right now she has her November Creative Spirit Challenge going on! You can link up anything that displays your creative spirit! Lots of creativity being shared there! She also has a wonderful etsy shop !
Thank you SO much, Cindy!!

Look at your turkeys. I love them! Right when I saw them, it popped into my head that my grandma had some turkeys like yours. I'm so glad I thought of that. Her and my grandpa were turkey farmers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win...what a cute little journal. Best wishes for a wonderful weekend ♥ Tricia
I love those vintage turkeys too - there are few of them here at my house, waiting for Thanksgiving. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all the turkeys. They are so colorful and festive. What a wonderful idea a Christmas journal would be. I plan to make a few to give to my "lunch-bunch" friends. I will share your story with them and encourage them to journal in their Christmas journals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea.
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see some Thanksgiving decorations. The turkeys are very cute and I love the dishes. I'm sure your Thanksgiving table looks beautiful.
Jane
I adore your turkey collection. I have a thing for turkey plates! I am the proud owner of a turkey platter just like yours. It's one of my favorite things. Thank you for your kind words of sympathy. It sure has been a hard week but it's getting a little easier every day. Mimi
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pieces you have. I'm not having Thanksgiving at my house this year so I haven't taken out my turkey stuff so it was fun to enjoy yours. Have a wonderful weekend. Patty
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the turkeys. I hate to start seeing people put up Christmas until after Mr Turkey has had his day!!!! But, it all happens so fast! Charlene
ReplyDeleteLove the turkeys.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the give away win.
