Turkey Talk in the Cupboard

When I organized my old cupboard and re-dubbed it my "Holiday Cupboard" in the Garden Room, I knew that Thanksgiving would be a fun display. Vintage turkeys and Brown Transferware plates and platters are really shown off with the white interior and ironstone. My Fall display was the basis and I didn't have to do much to make it be"Thanksgiving".

A few years ago I lived through the monumental Turkey Disaster when for whatever reason a platter and a gaggle of turkeys flew off my kitchen baker's rack. I'm laughing about it now, but it was really sad to see so many of my broken to smithereens vintage turkeys and plates. I tried to salvage the ones you see here but some of them really did suffer scars and cracks.

So if you see some poor fellas with chunks missing you'll know why. 

The oval "Give Thanks" plaque is chalk, and even though it's a little bright and gaudy from the 50's or 60's, I still love it and it fits perfectly on the shelf in here. It's all mix and match in here anyway.

Here's a few of the gang...

My fuzzy brain thinks the little turkey candle on the left was gifted me by my sweet friend Linda from Itsy Bits and Pieces a few (many) years ago. He sort of matches the size of the defunct partner of the salt and pepper set.

speaking of Linda, here's her Thanksgiving Cupboard

 from several years ago, found on Pinterest. 

This pic has always been an inspiration for me

when decorating for Thanksgiving.

you can find that HERE.

Our older daughter can't make it for Thanksgiving so she'll be here this weekend. After her visit I think I'm going to have to get started on Christmas. At least put up a smaller tree for a woodsy look. I know your "Christmas decor" wheels are spinning too. It's certainly cold enough for Christmas right now.

We've hit a wall with our landscape. Our first guys just don't have the chops for this big job, then another guy got started. He got a lot done but he's also flaked. He has problems, big problems, so better off him not doing it. At least the major part of this job is done and the shrubs are in the ground. If we have to wait a bit to get professionals out here I'm willing to wait for them. At least the mountains of dirt and gravel are gone and from the street it looks deceptively "normal".

Hope to see you Monday for...
