What's on the Sideboard for Thanksgiving

Now that Thanksgiving is here,

 I guess I better share what's been sitting on the sideboard this month.

My big Mr. Turkey got a paint job a few years ago,

during one of my "white" rampages...

 Last month I brought in this great window from the garage stash to use for my crows, but I like it so much I think I may keep it here for a little while. It's a good backdrop for my ever changing seasonal print du jour. This month I used one of the prints I found at Robin's Vintage Suitcase Fall Open House. Not very "Thanksgiving-y" but love the muted colors of the birds on the branch.

One of my collection of Turkey platters, this one is Johnson Brothers.

My vintage pie holder has a variety of turkey planters and salt and peppers.

And I've loved using this child's suitcase to anchor the Fall vignettes here.

I'm behind on things due to the cold I've been dealing with,

but I'm already thinking about what I want to do here for Christmas.

I'll be putting up 

Vintage Inspiration Friday

early this week, on Wednesday evening.

That way we'll make a weekend of it.

Remember next week we start our Christmas fun.

Wake Up Call!

I had a shocker of a thought yesterday... and that was that Thanksgiving was ACTUALLY next week, and that  our "big kids" from St. Louis would be here. I was living in some sort of alternate universe where I was taking my sweet time about things and all the sudden I had a panic about getting the guest /dump room cleaned up for them. Do you have a room that stuff "lands in" when you don't have time or motivation to deal with things? Hope I'm not alone.

Anywahoos, I still had some things to share that are sort of woods-y/thanksgiving-y, from the basement sitting area, otherwise known as my Holiday Cupboard. I love each holiday and don't want to slight all my fun Thanksgiving decor. Besides, I laughed over a post last week where it was discussed that slighted turkeys might come after us for revenge...can't let that happen. 

So for the next few days, even though we all are thinking Christmas,

you're stuck seeing some Thanksgiving decor.

Just trying to be an equal opportunity decorator.

I've also realized that I've used this blog to document my decorating. I find myself looking back thru old posts to check what I did last year. I like to change things up, so as to not let things get stale or boring. It encourages me to try something new, and think out of the box.

OK, hope you all are making progress on your plans for next week.

See ya tomorrow with 

Vintage Inspiration Friday
