Turkey Time?

I know it's too early to get out the turkeys, but this is what I found thrifting today! My mom and I were just discussing Thanksgiving and how she and my sisters-in-law have turkey plates. I was so excited to see this on the shelf at the Goodwill! It's made by Johnson Brothers, one of my favorite English china companies. This pattern is called 
Wild Turkeys and has been retired. It's quite large measuring a full 20" across. I found several  on the web selling for upwards of $100, but I got mine for $16! 


 Isn't this a fun pumpkin with it's carved harvest message? I've seen  these at some of the nicer boutiques and they can be a bit pricey. I paid $3.50 and it still had a price tag on the bottom for $29!

 I honestly don't do much Halloween decorating preferring to stick to Autumn and Harvest themes. But this cute little witch spoke to me and for $2.50 HAD to come home with me!


I thought this honey jar was charming. I used a design from The Graphics Fairy and an application technique that I learned from Lauren over at My Wonderfully Made to decorate the lid.  So easy!

I scored a few nice vintage linens today too, but I'll share those another time.
