Turkey Time!

Here are the last of my fall decorations. I feel like I'm really behind-I'm seeing so much Christmas decorations already. I know-I have an obsession with vintage turkey salt and peppers. I found the first giant turkey at Salvation Army years ago and started collecting them. I finally found the mate to the first one. I do love the Made in Japan ones with the flaky red paint on their gobbles.

I put the gaggle of turkeys on my fall penny rug. I like to make these from felted wool and wool felt.I traced a leaf and went from there.
Fun and easy to make. See the acorns around the edge?
Here's my mantle-even though I have alot of stuff, I try to keep it pretty simple and not too cluttered.
Here's some of my thrifted finds from last week. The boot is metal-I've seen these, but don't really know what they are from. Can anyone help? They are sitting on a lace cut out(new) round table cloth that I found for $1.97. It seems to be in perfect condition. I have a round dining table, so I'm always excited to find a round cloth. Yeah!
It's going to be a busy week ahead. Don't you just feel the energy in the air? I know I'll probably poop out in about a month, so I better take advantage of it now!

Fall is in the Air

I put away my Halloween stuff and brought out the fall stuff. I know alot of you girls already have your Autumn decorations out, but I do mine in 2 stages-Halloween and then fall/Thanksgiving. Above is a little vignette that I put on the shelf above my piano. My most favorite fall decoration is the little chipmunk salt and pepper. The grin on the little guy with all his teeth just cracks me up.
Here's the other side. I found the giant flashcard with the turkey last year and decided to use a vintage turkey candle. I love the old picture next to it. That turkey is going to have the last word!
Here it is all put together. The middle picture is an old puzzle of Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater. You can see I even have an old piano. This is the one I've had since I was a kid. It's pretty unique and it took me a long time to appreciate. it. I have grown to love it. I'll share more as the week goes on. Hope you all had a good Halloween. I even got Hubby to help me carve the pumpkin this year-I think he was waiting for all the kids to be gone. He did a really good job!
