Turkey Thanksgiving Decor - Page 2

I had my hands on a turkey figurine at Hobby Lobby yesterday. I think I will go back and get it @Sakuya

That's kinda funny really, because the absolute worst happened to me.

Meat and seafood was starting to make me squeamish for a while.

One day I looked at my dog and thought, she's an animal. Meat, bones, cartilage, teeth, organs. Okay, you get the picture.

And I thought, I couldn't eat her flesh, cooked to perfection or not. What's the difference?

That was it for me!

Don't get me wrong, I cook meat. every. day. for my husband. But I only buy humanely raised meat. I used to buy only organic, but now humanely raised means more to me. If I can find humanely raised and organic...win/win.

I do care about how animals are treated. And thank you to the family member of cattle farmers who posted above. Sooner?

I know that there are farmers who don't care. I've seen it and no, not on a Peta film. With my own eyes in what I'd call bucolic countryside. Nightmare.

So, I'm not going to buy a turkey that's on sale for 39 cents a pound for our Thanksgiving dinner. I order mine ahead of time, just give them an estimate of size (lbs.).

Now, if I'm being scammed by a Cerified Humanely Raised emblem on something (and paying more for it) that's not my bad intention or what's in my heart. And I do believe someone upstairs knows what's in my heart.

That said, I have several turkey decorations---no feathers attached!

I don't have turkey figurines, but I was eyeing a Jim Shore Pilgrim Gnome. I certainly don't need it. I think I have a few fall/harvest votives, I think I'm going to pass on the pilgrim. It was so colorful though. I will be lighting my TSV pumpkins fairly soon!

My sister has a paper witch from when we were kids. She puts it up every Halloween. Great childhood memories from the 60's.

Thank you everyone for all your comments and stories!

@lynnie61 - I am curious what the paper witch looks like from the 60s. What a special memento your sister has of childhood memories.
