The
Cranky Queen is "not so cranky" about her vintage turkey collection...as a matter of fact, she ranks
these feathered birds as one of her #1 collections...scouring thrift stores, antique malls, yard sales, junk piles, & friend's attics in search of turkeys all through the year!
This year she chose to "show off" her collection using plaid lunch pails as pedestals on the dining room table. Lunch boxes are the newest collection!
The
royal buffet is adorned by an assortment of Fall vegetables, flowers, leaves & of course, turkeys. Along with silk brown gloves and postcards...
The turkeys above were given to
The Queen by
Cranky Em' (her Mom). They are made from corn stalks, pine cones, & feathers! They perch with natural~type pumpkins in a wooden crate purchased at
Bella Rustica.
Snapshots of the mantle in the living room...
The turkey collection started with 2 wax candles from my
Nannie. Now I have salt & pepper shakers, napkin holders, flower vases, candles, & the list goes on and on...This Queen can talk some "turkey"!
White pumpkins and even white turkeys find refuge in the kitchen.
The mantle above is in the keeping room. I love the turkey plate that was found for 75 cents! Most of her collection was purchased for less than $10!
Vintage wax pilgrim candles express thankfulness...The Cranky Queen is very thankful...only "cranky" on occasion...a fun name given to her by her hubby & son, now coined Cranky King & Prince Logan.
KEEP CALM & GIVE THANKS...
