Friday Favorites - Turkey Plates and Platters

Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorite holidays, probably second only to Christmas. I love cooking (and eating:)), and tablescaping, but what I love even more is that it's our only truly American holiday. And because it's not religious, nearly everyone celebrates it! It's unifying spirit, as well as the pause it gives us to say thank you for all we have... well, it has my heart.

I don't know when I fell in love with the idea of turkey patterns, specifically vintage transferware turkey plates and platters, but probably somewhere around the time I really got into collecting different plates for the holidays. I love how old-fashioned and charming they are! And really, there isn't much "decor" to be found for Thanksgiving, and this gives me something to display that I love.

Tablescape from Stonegable blog. Love this table!
