Time for Turkeys

Isn't Thanksgiving wonderful?

I know there are many elements to Thanksgiving

but for some reason I seem to be stuck
on collecting turkeys.

get one here

There's a turkey stained glass light

purchased on Ebay in the summertime.

I tried to bid on a few during November that year

but it always ended in a bidding war,

and prices went over $100....

The following summer I thought

I would just, on a whim, 
check Ebay for the turkey lamp

and to my surprise one was just sitting there!

I was the only bidder and got it for $25.

I guess timing is everything.

stained glass turkey light HERE

The Hutch/Buffet is full of turkeys.

I've collected a lot of Fitz and Floyd

from many different lines.
That's the covered vegetable dish
from Autumn Bounty,

I found mine at Tuesday Morning.
Next to it is a pumpkin cookie jar
that got picked up at Mervin's

along with the pumpkin tea pot.
The creamer gourd

and sugar gourd

are Autumn Splendor from F&F.
The corn cob vase is from Pier 1
and the turkey platter
was a giveaway from the
South Point Casino
 

The turkey cranberry server is a
Country Gourmet F&F piece.
Next to him is the little turkey candle
holder by Bordallo Pinheiro

I love that line but only have the one piece...
found him at Ross.

We also have Turkey plates
from the Johnson Bros. His Majesty line.
The golden plates are from Kohl's this year,
they have colorful pumpkins, vines, and acorns
in bas-relief on the rim.

The gourds in the front
are covered soup bowls from Williams-Sonoma
I hunted them down on Ebay after seeing them
on The Tablescaper blog.

The little turkey snack plate is from Pier 1 last year

but I did see them there this year.

on the top shelf is a
Harvest Turkey cranberry server.

 

He is from Warren Kimble
and

I found these Radko turkey
salt and pepper shakers
on Ebay years ago.
It's sad that Radko just doesn't
make things like this anymore.
Moving on to the dry goods pantry
I've displayed

a Woodland turkey centerpiece by Spode.
His lid is much too big and cumbersome
to be a cookie jar, or even a serving dish.
I guess that's why he's called a "centerpiece".

Finally next to the turkey lamp,
I set out a little Dept 56 
snow village House called
the Scarecrow Harvest Festival

Here's a better picture off the web

I like their fall village houses

which have leaves in place of snow.

Look closely at that weather vein...

there's even a turkey on it.

I must try to expand my collection

to feature a little more then turkeys.

My wife would like to see some

Pilgrims standing around

I'll keep my eye open for some.
