I LOVE Christmas as much as the next girl BUT I am NOT going to rush it (now that's not to say I haven't listened to a few carols that they are already playing on the radio) BUT I haven't put my tree up yet, decorated the house or even began making things for the season. I believe we need to remember Thanksgiving....take the time to be thankful for all the blessings in our lives, no matter how awful things sometimes seem.....with that being said, I do have a few lil fall / thankful decorations up.....
Got this beauty at the Salvation Army....LOVED the color and the shape.....
ANd the price! That's right peeps. $1.95!! This can be used for thanksgiving and every holiday there after! Christmas full of vintage balls, New years full of clock faces, Valentine's Day - hearts of course, St. Patty's - shamrocks, Easter - eggs, Summer - shells! I wouldn't put food in there because I do believe the previous owner painted it.
For now I have a few pinecones (I am having the hardest time finding somewhere to collect the lil buggers!!) and the leaves that were in my flower arrangement.
I simply added some acorns to the base of this glitterati candle that I put into a silver pedestal bowl.....
and displayed it here on the shelf in the entry hallway.....
This is the lil frame next to the number 7 above. It's a vintage dictionary page that just so happened to have a turkey pic next to the definition!!
Which prompted the turkey drawing on the silver chalkboard tray (this display is missing something BUT as usual I will be decorating up until the doorbell rings Thanksgiving day!!)
I printed this out on my computer......
In the China hutch I displayed my Great Grandma's vintage Wheat china (which we will be using for Thanksgiving dinner)
I am linking up at Bungalow http://www.thebungalowblogonline.com/ she's hosting a Thanksgiving Linky party!

What sweet ideas for Thanksgiving decorating. I'm going to check out the dictionary right now. Thank you!
Cute use of the vintage dictionary page and the turkey drawing! I also like the china...my Mom has Noritake's Wheat pattern from the 50's or early 60's that my dad bought her in Japan when he was in the navy....
You've got some great ideas here. I really like the framed turkey dictionary page and the pedestal is a treasure! Thanks for linking up at the everything thanksgiving link party!
