It may be Fall, but it's still summer around here. Still wearing shorts and flip flops. But Fall is in the air. I LOVE that plate with the turkey. It's beautiful!
First day of fall and we're doing spare ribs on the grill, potato salad and deviled eggs.....its 87 today! After 30 years in the south, I still miss fall in Ohio/Indiana.....
I have a turkey platter like this from an estate sale several years ago. I display it with my grandmother's platter, and another round turkey plate. The plate is a collectible my husband's aunt gave us years ago, and the turkey platter that was Nanny's is one of my most cherished possessions. When she and my grandad got married on March 9, 1911, they bought their household goods "to set up housekeeping", as she said, and the man who sold them to them, gave them the platter as a wedding gift. One year, she asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I asked for something old of hers. She gave me the platter! It turned 100 years old this year! My grandaddy passed away in 1964, and she died in about 2001. They influenced me so much...that's where I learned so much about quilting, canning, gardening, cooking. I love fall. It is my favorite season, too. In our hot Texas summers, I long for fall. Today is cool enough for the heat to be on a little, but beautiful and sunny outside.

I love all these things too:>) My grandmother had dishes like the middle photo, I forget the name of them. That platter is beautiful!
I love that apples with red cheeks line!! They really do look like they have cheeks!!! Fall is MY FAVE and if it has anything to do with it..I'm in!!
Fall is my favorite too! You know, I just bought a turkey platter like that at a thrift store. I can't wait to put it out.
I LOVE FALL! I start getting ready for Fall around the middle of August - I can barely wait for it to arrive.
I'm with you. I wish it wasn't so blaring hot here, though. I love this time of year with a burning passion....
