A (Vintage) Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner

 

As a fan of vintage illustrations, I thought it would be fun to gather 
several of them to depict the traditional Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner.
From stuffing the bird, to roasting, serving, and carving it,
these images invite you to a classic Thanksgiving meal 
with warmth and a bit of humor, as well!

As we count our many blessings this season,

I wish a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Punch Needle Embroidery by Harp & Thistle

I'm super excited to show off the talent of Harp & Thistle!

This type of stitchery is called punch needle embroidery,

taken from an ancient technique of making hooked rugs.

Erin & Cory are the husband and wife team of "Harp & Thistle."

The clever name pairs symbols of their ancestries: hers, Ireland; his, Scotland.

She designs and creates each item. He's behind the scenes as photographer & shipper.

I am absolutely smitten with this fresh & fabulous embroidery hoop art!

Here's the Harp & Thistle

The Art of … Turkeys

November is here and it's time to talk turkey.

The bird we've come to recognize as a "Thanksgiving" turkey

is classified as a heritage turkey, and could be any one of 8 breeds.

Now, the birds we buy at the supermarket for our big feasts are most likely 

a breed called the broad breasted white turkey,

known to accommodate people's preferences for lots of white meat.
My family, however, always lunges for the juicy, dark thighs.

I found several handsome depictions of the heritage turkey.
