A Happy Vintage Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving friends! The turkey is in the oven roasting to golden perfection or at least that's the goal! I am sitting here with a cup of coffee and wanted to share a post from several years ago. It's a few vintage Thanksgiving greetings and magazine covers. While you're waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven, relax with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy these images from yesteryear.

I know this mamma is happy to have her sailor home for Thanksgiving!

Please say it isn't so! I confess...I did love these Banquet dinners when I was little. Whenever we had them, they seemed like such a treat.

A simmering-talking pot!

This adorable girl is eyeing the turkey! I am curious about the article by Demaree Bees listed at the bottom of the cover!

Vintage cards are always wonderful expressions of art. This one is no exception.

Wonder what this little Pilgrim is telling the chicken?

Another nostalgic Saturday Evening Post. What a difference in the football uniforms of today and those of 1928?

Hmmm...maybe they should have plucked and roasted the turkey first!

I have never had a pumpkin pecan pie. How about any of you?

I guess home makers have been making pies for ages!

Anticipation...I am not so sure about that turkey! Looks a little diseased.

Over the river and through the woods...

This is a 1914 edition of The Saturday Evening Post.

Lastly, I leave you with this beautiful card.

Many blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving from
Lynda at Still Woods Farmhouse!

A Treasure in the Vines....Waverly Plantation

Imagine a dream. A dream in which you are wandering through the woods and discover a beautiful, long forgotten home. A home which rises above jasmine vines wrapped tightly around graceful columns. A home which has endured the ravages of rain, the heat of hot Mississippi summers, the infestation of bees and bats, and yet still retains the grace of a bygone era. Such a dream came true for the Snow family. Robert and Donna Snow owned an antique store in Phildelphia, MS. One day a salesman stopped by and told them that he had gotten lost down by the river and found a beautiful home, hidden in the woods near West Point, MS. According to Melanie Snow, one of the Snow's children, her parents stayed up all night thinking about the home. The next morning they told their children that they were going on an adventure, packed the kids in the car, and off they went. Imagine their delight when they discovered this beautiful home . . . Waverly....

Ronald McDonald House and Recipes: A Winning Combo!

I have collected recipes and recipe books for as long as I can remember. Some of my most treasured recipes include my grandmother's hand written sour cream pound cake recipe dotted with batter and spattered with dots of vanilla. It has a place of honor in my recipe notebook which contains some of my family's favorite recipes. When we built our home, I had a set of bookshelves built in the kitchen to hold my collection of recipe books as well as a collection of milk glass. I love to cook while looking at some of my favorite things around me. Last night, I went to Dillards to do a little shopping. As I checked out I noticed the annual Southern Living Cooking for Christmas cookbook at each register. Only $10.00! I snatched one up and added it to my items. I love Southern Living cookbooks with their beautiful pictures and mouth watering recipes. A bonus of this cookbook is that Dillards has once again teamed up with Southern Living to ...

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware. I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl. My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate. I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida. I came to love her one plate. My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table! When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs. I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces...
