Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Before I took my blogging break, I took pictures of some of my turkeys. Then I never used them in a post. My friend Paula, who blogs at Sweet Pea, also wrote a post on her turkeys.

She asked me to share mine, so I thought I'd better do it before the Thanks-giving timeline was over.

Before I talk about the turkeys, I have to tell you about this shelf.

My son made it for me when he was in high school.

This is where I keep my collection, year-round.

The VT stands for Virginia Tech.

I took these pictures in September, and I never edited them. I'm just going to show them from left to right across the shelf.
The turkey on the left has a partner that you'll see at the end. They have really neat feet claws that I didn't photograph. They're candle holders, although I've never used them like that.
The turkey on the right reminds me of carnival glass and has a deep opening. What do you think it was used for?

The turkey on the left is made of wood and is very lightweight.
The one on the right is my oldest turkey. If you look closely, you can see the letters VA. It actually says VA TECH across its back. I saw its twin at a local antique store. It's a bank, maybe for tuition to Tech. hahaha

I love the turkey on the left. Its feathers are so colorful. It has a hook and sometimes I hang it on my window latch.
The turkey on the right is solely decorative. I like its color, too.

Here is the mate to the one I started with. I looked at them again while I was writing this, and now I know why I don't have a picture of its feet claws.  I'm too short.

I also saw some turkeys that I set out for Thanksgiving. I'll show you those next year.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Enjoy your special time with family and friends.
