It's time for Thanksgiving.....


This is my Fall village. I don't remember the year I bought it..at least 15 years ago..maybe more. I was going to buy something to add this year but guess it has been discontinued?


The other side of the window. When I unpacked it the stack was broken off the train but..you guessed it..Perry fixed it. At the far left is a little group of figurines. I think Norma gave me this one year for my birthday. It is a pilgrim couple and and Indian couple. It is so sweet.


This is  the top  shelf in the library window.


The middle of the top shelf. The praying bunny and squirrel are House of Lloyd so I maybe got them for a gift from Norma.


More of the top shelf..the left side. At the left is a stump with squirrels on it. I bought it to go with my Christmas village but went ahead and put it with display..it is new.. i wanted to use it even though there is snow at the base of the tree stump.


On the media cabinet. My Indian bunnies..at least 20 years old. I had to replace the feathers..they were all to pieces when I unpacked them.


The left side of the media cabinet. I have never arranged it like this. I was pleased. Some of the pumpkin and gourds were a little warped. The wax is breaking down in the heat, I guess. Didn't have the heart to throw them out yet.


 This is Nick at age 3 (1993) in our back yard "mowing". He loved all Nana and Papa's holiday decor and I let him play with it. He was always very careful and broke very little. Notice he is playing with one of the scarecrows. See how old my things are...Yikes!


This is pillow Tom. Nick took his naps with him through the Thanksgiving holiday..later Lauren did. He is very old and probably much too tough to cook.


I added the crows..I call Heckle and Jeckle this year. They were on sale at Hobby Lobby and I fell in love. I guess you can tell my decorating leans to cutesy.
