Poor Tom Turkey... a foyer vignette

11.18.2010

I thought I would share the vignette on my antique sideboard in my foyer as it looks now since it will be changing soon for Christmas.


I purchased this funky looking turkey at fifty percent off back in early October and almost forgot I had him. 


I am using my pitcher from Cracker Barrel stuffed with hydrangeas and some fall branches.
Amazing what you can find at Cracker Barrel.


The pitcher is elevated on top of this vintage leather book.


I have had this plate for many years and have it placed by the lamp on the other side of the sideboard.


Poor turkey, you better run and hide!


I hung my vintage roe deer antlers on each side of the mirror.




Linking to the following parties:
My Romantic Home for show and tell
Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday

I don't think I have told you lately how much I appreciate each and every comment and thanks so much for the great turnout to my party each week!

Y'all come back now,

KIM

    cutest turkey! (if turkeys can be cute, that is) :)

    I just really love your sideboard and the arrangement on top is perfect. Makes me want to move my bench in my foyer and put a table there, but then where would I put my bench?? ...and on it goes...

    Love your use of antlers!... and I'm hearing more and more about Cracker Barrel stores lately. Never knew they carried seasonal stuff! It's 45 minutes from here, but maybe worth the trip?

    I got that plate long time ago and that store is no longer in business. You can find decorative plates at Home Goods, Hobby Lobby, Ross, Marshalls or home interior shops. Happy hunting!

    Cracker Barrel Country Store is a great place to find seasonal goodies. And you have to go at least once a season just to get the "Old Timers Breakfast".
