The Queen's Love of Vintage Turkeys...Being Thankful for the Pilgrims & So Much More!

 

The Cranky Queen is a thankful lady...As she has grown older (and much wiser), she has learned that one should be thankful everyday...take nothing for granted. God, Freedom, Family, Friends.
Her love for turkeys started many years ago when her Nannie would place the turkey S&P shakers on the table for Thanksgiving dinner.

...and the collection started after she became an adult.  The orange wax candles were actually Nannie's... And the collection grew...& grew.

In the center of the dining room table, a collection of turkey S&P shakers surround horns of plenty, Fall leaves & an array of pumpkins and gourds.

All year, as I junk & antique, I'm always on the "look out" for vintage turkeys...the fun is in the search for the unique and one-of-a-kind...

 The turkey on the right is actually a napkin holder!

This platter was snagged for $2! Chips and a little crazing just show their past & makes me thankful of this bird that our country was founded upon.

 My dear friend Wanda saved this flock of unusual turkeys from an estate sale & gave them to me as a gift for helping her decorate her shop during the Fall season.

I also love these old postcards.  You can still snag these in shops for reasonable prices.  A flower frog poses as a display stand. Gobble~

This little planter is named after my son..."Little Logan"...aren't his freckles cute! If you become a follower of The Cranky Queen, you will see many "Little Logan's" in my collection, especially at Christmas.  My gal pals even search for various "Little Logan's" during their junking sprees! I am thankful for good friends & my son, Logan! Cranky King too...

Cranky Prince Logan's turkey hand print...many of these are scattered throughout the palace. These are my most "priceless" of all turkeys!

...and the old wax candles...how do they make it through the years without melting in a hot attics or burned as candles during the holidays???

Blue?!?  That's right...the Queen loves blue & has managed to find blue pilgrims & turkeys throughout the years! The navy & cream turkey planter is one of my oldest pieces.

Speaking of being thankful. Our adopted dog, Sassy, was featured on the blog From Alone to Home. Meet Kate & her stories of rescued pets. 

Sassy is on the left with the witches hat on...last fall!

STAY CALM & BE THANKFUL!
