~ Antique And Vintage Thanksgiving Display ~

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, 2011 has flewn by so fast so now we have pulled out all our wonderful turkeys for display for the Holiday. We used are old wooden store display to create different levels of display. Which gives us more room to show off our little goodies! Right below the Thanksgiving display our Halloween collection is tuck away for another year but kept in a old glass store display so we may view it through out the year.Here we have a couple of antique plates with turkeys on them. The blue and white Turkey plate was a three dollar purchase at a garage sale. We found one online and it was sold for alot more than 3 dollars. I sure LOVE garage sales...LOL





We have a small collection of paper mache Turkey candy containers we have found at shops and flea markets here in So. Cali.




The Turkeys were filled with little pieces of candy and given out to children as play toys.



The Turkeys were made in Germany some where between 1905-1930s. They have metal feet and a couple have glass eyes.














This big Turkey on the left was found in one of our many favorite stores called Country Roads in Orange County.







We have also used some dried gourds and pomegranates this year for our display this year. We would like to wish you and your family a "HAPPY THANKSGIVING"...............Tallulah's boys Today I will be linking up to ~ Table Top Tuesday~

    Beautiful turkey display! I always griped that Thanksgiving gets lost in Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas, but I always insist on something turkey or pilgrim or Indian, or sall three to decorate for Thanksgiving.
