Keeping Thanksgiving

 

 

Unlike every store in America, I am trying to hold off on the Christmas decor and enjoy one holiday at a time.  It’s Thanksgiving, not Christmas.  I just want to savor the moments and spend this time with my family before all the Christmas craziness begins.  We have much to be thankful for.

Turkey & Transferware

 

 

 

 

Holiday flea markets are the best time to search for vintage turkey transferware platters and large serving platters in general.  This is a sampling of what I found today at the Grayslake Flea Market.  I would have bought the blue turkey platter in a heartbeat but, unfortunately, it had some major damage that wouldn’t have held up with my dishwashers here.

Turkey Display

I didn’t get a chance to go out to Kane County this weekend and only had time for a quick trip to Jackson Square Mall in LaGrange.  Sitting in booth #111 downstairs was a very clever idea for the use of a vintage suitcase.  I love the collection of vintage turkey planters along with the turkey salt and peppers.  Doesn’t this look fabulous?  I may just have to do something different with my turkeys this year.

Leaving Thanksgiving….

It’s time to put the Turkeys away and head over to the One of a Kind Show in downtown Chicago.  Before I go, I wanted to show you what you can do with a vintage postcard collection.  You make things!  I photocopied, enlarged and laminated my Thanksgiving postcards.  They are fun to have on the kitchen table throughout the holiday season and clean up is a quick wipe down.  I love to make and give these placemat sets as gifts to special friends.  So, now you know what to ask for this Christmas……….a laminator!
