Thanksgiving Decor

 
 
Here are a few pictures of the Thanksgiving Decor. I love to decorate for the holidays
and as soon as Halloween was over I put away the Halloween decorations and added the Thanksgiving decorations to my fall decor.

Recently my Dad gave me a few more boxes of some of my Mom's things. I was so blessed to find many new treasures including these darling pilgrims figurines.
Above is a banner I made several years back...I love hanging it up every year and reflecting on what I'm thankful for.
The wooden figurine of a Saint was also my Mom's, as were the old suitcases that I'm using here as a  small table to display some decor.
 
I was also very excited to find several pieces of china that belonged to my Mom to display in our dining room hutch. My Mom collected all sorts of decor items that had acorns on them and these pieces are very special as they have acorns and leaves on them.
Above is a very unique bowl with hand painted acorns and leaves and a cup and saucer. Below is a close up shot of the bowl and cup and saucer.


Above are two more cups and saucer sets. The one on top has a turkey on the saucer and fall fruit on the cup.
                               Above and below are close ups of the cups and saucer sets.
Below is a closer shot of the hutch. As can be seen there are several other beautiful pieces that I recently inherited from my Mom's fall china collection. I look forward to displaying these beautiful pieces every fall season going forward.
 
 
Above in our kitchen I have displayed a vintage framed Goodhousekeeping magazine cover, a fall floral bouquet and two precious porcelain praying pilgrims. These also belonged to my Mom. I've had them for about 5 year now and enjoy them so much each year.
 Additionally in the kitchen I've put out my beloved pilgrim family on the little shelf above my sink.
 These were also my Moms and I've had these for about 5 years as well. I just love these figurines and they were favorites of my Moms as well.
 Also in the kitchen I decorated the iron shelf piece in the little corner nook. Below are close ups of each shelf.
The little turkey plate was a new treasure that I found this year in the box from my Dad.

                                         ....as was this wooden turkey! I just love him.
 .....and last but not least is the little Indian figurine that I actually bought for my Mom one year as a birthday gift. I'm blessed to have it now and I placed her with a crate of pumpkins.
She looks like she is selling the pumpkins!
 
Below are a few Thanksgiving cards I made over the weekend. I used the "Flirty" paper packet from Close to My Heart to make these cards.


 
I hope that you and yours has a blessed Thanksgiving! Thanks for reading Definitely Debi.
