Have a Gobblin' Good Thanksgiving!

It's Vintage Thingies Thursday on Thanksgiving Day! You know what a die hard I am; I've never missed a week since I discovered this fun meme 18 months ago. I'm sure there are fewer participants this week, and fewer visitors, because most people are enjoying the day with their families, as am I. But I wrote my post early so all I had to do this morning was link in to Suzanne at Colorado Lady.I own this gorgeous, huge turkey platter. It was my Aunt Kakee's. She bought it in the early 1950s for $1.00 at a Savitz Monday Special. Savitz was a nice jewelry store in Hartford and every Monday they had something nice for a dollar! The design is a raised relief, including the swirls around the edge, which are difficult to see in the photo. She never hosted Thanksgiving, nor made a turkey because of a childhood trauma plucking turkeys, and I only used it once, so it is in pristine condition. I used to have it on display in my dining room year-round, but in this home it just didn't work. Hopefully I'll find a way to display it so Tom Turkey can come "out of the closet"!
I hope you're enjoying a wonderful holiday with your family. After our meal we usually play cards, and before we eat I will be sharing this post and other VTTs with my aunt. She is 85 and fascinated with the internet! If you don't have time today, check in with Suzanne @ ColoradoLady for more Vintage Thingies Thursday goodies during the weekend.
Don't forget the BLACK FRIDAY sales at Etsy, all weekend long. I have marked everything down at Little Somethings 15-20% from original prices and other shops have even better offers, including free shipping. Support homemade and shop in your jammies!
