Thanksgiving in my heart...

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart. I will enter His courts with praise. I will say this is the day that the Lord hath made. I will rejoice for he has made me glad!

Doesn't this song just make your heart sing?!

I love Thanksgiving - a day devoted to family and gratitude. No stress, no gifts, just a day of togetherness.
Another reason that I love Thanksgiving is the turkeys. Don't ask me why, but I love turkeys. Their plumage just sings ~autumn~. Without realizing it, I have a little collection of turkeys. I thought that I would share a few...

I picked up these vintage salt and pepper shakers at an estate sale and a local antique shop.

I love these reproduction candy containers with their wire feet.

I love to mix them with pumpkins, too.

I've recently found some vintage Thanksgiving postcards - with turkeys, of course.

I have four mixed place settings of Johnson Brothers' "His Majesty" and "Autumn Monarch". I've decided that they are two pretty for just one day, so we are using them daily for the month of November.

Isn't this spoon just darling?

Folk artist, Chris Robinson, painted the spoon and the bowl.

Oh my, I have even more turkeys than I realized :-)

"These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng." -Psalm 42:4

Wishing you shouts of joy and thanksgiving in your heart.

Blessings, Patti
