Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday -- a time when family, food and football are enjoyed without all the hassle, hustle and bustle that will soon prevail.

Below are a few vintage images from Pinterest that illustrate this American holiday in simpler times. 



The cook no longer has to conquer the turkey, as was the case in times of old. Now that's something to be thankful for!




So 1950s, isn't it?

Love Charlie Brown


Children presented in old images were so precious.


I have prepared many of the side dishes and placed them in the freezer, to be thawed and cooked for the Thanksgiving meal. A good thing, as it allows more time to focus on Baby Katie!


May you have a blessed Thanksgiving!

  1. Happy Thanksgiving, Sanda! We're preparing for our celebration on Saturday, as it's not a holiday here in England. I've a turkey in the oven, pie shells made and frozen along with cornbread dressing and blackberry & apple crisp. I'll be baking the second turkey tomorrow and then we'll be done with all the advance work until the day. I'm looking forward to the first of December, when I'm going to have a day off! Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving today!

  6. That is the cutest baby! Are those turkeys smocked on the yoke of her dress? Love it!
    Notice how much smaller the breast is on that 1050's turkey vs the Butterball of today?

    1. Yes, those are turkeys on her little smocked dress. She was so sweet in her Thanksgiving dress. I had not paid attention to the smaller breast on the turkey in the photo, but now that you mention it...yes indeed!! Good catch!
