Talkin' Turkey ~


So many bloggers are decorating for Christmas.  Geez, it was just last week I got out my turkeys!

These are vintage candy containers from the Fanny Farmer Candy Company.



Turkey candles . . .




Vintage papier mache turkeys, some of them candy containers, some marked Germany.


It wouldn't be Thanksgiving if I didn't display ceramics my dear mom painted.  This was one of her favorite pieces ~ mine, too :)
 



Only one more day of work this week.  I took a vacation day on Wednesday and have to be at the airport at 6:35 am to pick up my older son and his girlfriend.  It will be wonderful to have him home!!!  I will spend a good part of the day baking pumpkin roll.  My son and my niece (who always comes from Chicago for the holiday) would mutiny if they didn't have pumpkin roll ~ and at least one to take home with them!

Thanks so much for stopping.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

    Lauren,
    Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving treasures....it's one of my favorite holidays and it makes me sad that it always kind of gets left behind in the dust :(

    It will be so nice to have your other son around for the holiday. That will make it extra special for sure.

    What a lovely collection of turkeys!!! I would want to get them out in October they are so nice. I just have a couple.
    I love the old kind that were candy containers. I need to see if I can talk my sister out of the ones my Mom had. :)
    Have a lovely time with all of your family. I hope a wonderful Thanksgiving too.

    I love your turkey collection, especially the one your mom made. She did a great job painting it.
    What a shame that they rush the Christmas season. I Your turkeys deserve to be on display a bit longer. Hope that you'll have a wonderful time with your family at Thanksgiving.
    Hugs,

    No wonder you're 'talkin' turkey..... you have been invaded by turkeys. You've got quite a collection there and it looks cute; now after tomorrow you'll have to pull out your Santa's.

    Happy Thanksgiving.
