BRING OUT THE TURKEYS

Hoping that I'm not too late to the party. I'm seeing so much Christmas and I've just unpacked the turkeys! 

I went through quite a Marie Kondo - inspired letting go phrase.  One of the many items I regretted giving away were my vintage ceramic turkeys.  I did keep a few and was ok with that for a while, but then I gave in to my collector habit and purchased some new ceramic turkeys.  How could I resist a sale.  I placed them as a centerpiece on the dining room table.  The pumpkins are new too.  They were so different with their beaded sides.  The ceramic acorns are from a long time ago.  They didn't make the cut.  I'm so glad I kept them. The hydrangeas are from my garden.  They dried perfectly.

I usually placed the turkeys inside my dining room corner cabinet.  This year I sprinkled them around the house.  I added these salt and pepper shaker turkeys  to my stack of cabbage plates in the pantry.

This next one is on the mantel in the sun room.

The last two are on the family room mantel.

He's not ceramic, but I always add my vintage Audubon turkey print.

Have you let go of special treasures and then regretted it?
