Thanksgiving Decor


I told you about my recent finds for the sunroom.
The vintage needlepoint and the Faribo throw set the tone for some vignettes I have been working on in the sunroom.



I wanted Thanksgiving decor but I didn't want to limit the decor to just turkeys. 




I don't think the turkey necessarily makes the list of top ten attractive birds. Bless their hearts. 
(You can say almost anything unkind down here in the south as long as you say "Bless their heart." afterward. 
It's a rule or something.

I had some other turkeys but they were resin.
 Resin and ceramic don't mix… because I'm a little over the top about some things.



I was trying to think of some other hearth and home accoutrements to add to the mix when I remembered a
 Currier and Ives book of prints I found at the thrift the other day. 
Most of the good prints were taken out already but it contained this print.



At the time I didn't think I needed it. 
At the time I didn't think I needed it?
 Thrifting fail! 
I ran back up to the store but it was gone so I did what any spoiledheart set on something person would do. 
I bought it off of e-Bay. 
(It cost the same as the one I failed to buy at the thrift store.) 
 But because I am impatient and now my print has to be shipped, I started thinking about other house blessing knick knacks I may have nestled (crammed) in this house.



I found a couple of houses, a early winter Currier and Ives print, and some other organic, acorny things.



I also found a circa 1984 cross stitch made by yours truly.


I popped it into a vintage Adirondack style frame and paired it with a little painting I did a few years ago.
  
I love the dish dresser like this. 



I kept the green Meakin china and majolica (some real, some reproduction).



I haven't had my birdcage out in a long time. Would you believe I found this for $1.00?




I ordered the bittersweet off of e-Bay because I don't think it grows down here.



I collect vintage postcards. 









All the searching I did for cottages somehow  
  unearthed a crazy looking spider.



I was immediately sure I had been bitten and that I could be meeting my maker at any moment. 
I'll let you know.
