Getting ready for Christmas! An old sled leans up against the front of the house, with a wreath. Another large wreath on front door.
And a large vintage candy cane hangs above the bench.
Even with Thanksgiving, I managed to still get some thrifting in last week. I found this great book about Art Nouveau lighting.
The book has lots of examples of really unique lamps, including the above peacock lamp. Love it.
Also in the Art Nouveau genre, I found this glass plate with a woman's face molded into it. It is signed by the artist, Gama.
A set of pretty fruit monogrammed spoons.
And Wizard of Oz books, dating back to the 30's.
I forgot to take pictures of almost all of the Thanksgiving feast, I did manage to snap a few shots early in the process. These veggies became delicious after roasting them. 
The beginning of the stuffing - cubed bread, onions, celery, chestnuts, seasonings. 
And of course, pumpkin pie.
A couple of vintage finds to use for Thanksgiving dinner. This is a white vintage linen roll warmer (and bread basket). 
It is round, with very pretty lace detailing. 
It has little ties to keep it in place.
And little slots for the rolls to sit in. This isn't the best picture (only one spare roll to use as example). There are about a dozen little slots.
A white silverware caddy. It has 3 slots, and pretty gold trim. This will be perfect to sit out with appetizers and fill with vintage flatware. 
These are my friendly neighborhood turkeys.
Occasionally I am lucky enough to see one in my yard.
For the most part, they congregate in one family's yard up the hill. This family apparently feeds them. The turkeys have taken over their yard.
I finally remembered to bring my camera with me to take some shots. I just love seeing them wandering around. I wonder if they know how close we are to Thanksgiving?
This week I hit a couple antique stores, thrift stores and an estate sales. I brought home a few things. This pretty frame was only $0.50. The flap on back (which helps it stand) was broken off, but that doesn't bother me. I would rather lean it up against some books. 
More napkin rings. The shorter one has a pretty floral design, and the other, my favorite, engraved with the name, Mame Boland.
A pretty little teapot with G monogram on it. It was filthy when I bought it, here it is all shined up. I actually liked it a little better when it had some tarnish on it, but it was really just too dirty to leave as is.
And I could not pass up this little brass mouse with giant ears.
