Countdown To Thanksgiving: Talking Turkey


When it comes to cooking a turkey, I like to mix it up each year. If you do, as well, take a peek at these yummy recipes. They are quite unique.  And for good measure I have added a few "must have" turkey tools. Always remember to add a pinch of love to whichever recipe you choose.


Herb & Butter Turkey
Tieghan calls this recipe perfection. It's simple. The only thing "fancy" about it is the use of a cheesecloth. I have used this method several times, and it works. 

Turkey Forks
Something I don't have in my kitchen. If you cook many roasts or turkeys, you need these.

Bacon Wrapped Turkey With Mustard & Tarragon Butter
First of all, the recipe calls for free range or organic turkey. I personally wouldn't eat any other kind of turkey. It's beautiful to look at, and I imagine quite juicy.

Digital Instant-Read Pen Thermometer
A necessary tool for turkey roasting! Best yet, this is on sale now at

Pastrami Style Grilled Turkey Breast
What an interesting recipe. You will need some unusual equipment, too: 
A spice mill or a mortar and pestle; a chimney starter and smoking chips. Here's hoping for a good weather day.

Bourbon Glazed Turkey 
I have done this, and it is so so good. Add another splash to the gravy and you have one special meal. The color of your bird will never look better.

Trim The Tree: Ornaments & More

 


Now that the frost is on the pumpkins, we move forward to the holidays that are ahead. Many of you trim your tree and deck your halls before Thanksgiving. Having an ornament collection myself, I look at ornaments with a collector's eye. Each one of these are special, and I would love to add any of them to my own tree. You will also enjoy a few special Tree Skirts to complete your look. Get inspired and excited for what's ahead.

 

NYC Central Park Ornament
I can hardly wait to head up to the 6th floor of Bergdorf's later this month. I think this will be mine. Perfect for anyone who loves New York.

Cozy Faux Fur Tree Skirt
Faux but fabulous in the coziest of ways. And don't worry if a little egg nog gets spilled. This skirt is washable.

Joanna Buchanan Evil Eye
All eyes will be on this jeweled ornament. It's like jewelry for your tree.

Jeweled Snowflake Tree Topper
Make an over the top statement this year with the sparkling snowflake. The beadwork is all done by hand on front and back. So it will look stunning any way you look at it.

Black & White Ornaments
A black and white themed tree would be quite striking. These ornaments lend a note to vintage European art and fashion. Affordable.

Quilted Handbag
A girl can't have too many handbags. Why not adorn her tree with one? Buy it for the girl who appreciates a great accessory.

Chinoiserie Monkey Charms
These little monkeys aren't monkeying around. They hang a 5 inches tall and will make a chinoiserie chic statement on the tree.

Sequin Ornament Ball Kit
Time on your hands? Start crafting your own ornaments for giving or keeping. Might be a fun project for someone retired or even kids.

Pastel Ombre Tree Skirt
This skirt has been handcrafted and beaded for a sparkling statement.

Handcrafted from light wood and in the style of artist G. DeBrekht. A lovely gift.

I have featured this Etsy shop before. Their ribbons are simply gorgeous. Nothing makes a tree look more elegant than the right ribbon. So many colors and patterns to pick.
Shy Myrtle

You know what they say, if you don't believe, Christmas doesn't happen. Let Santa know that your household believes in the best of ways. It has been hand welded in the United Kingdom. More choices, including your name! They all ship for free.
The Letter Loft

Jay Strongwater 25th Anniversary Ornament with Stand
For collectors. I have a few of Jay's beautiful ornaments, and they are some of my favorites. The intricate designs are just beautiful. This one is adorned with Swarovski crystals. 

Origami Star Ornament
Covered in chic leopard fabric, this star is stunning. I can imagine it in multiples on a tree, or even at every place setting on a holiday table. On sale at

Leopard Tree Skirt
Go all out with the leopard theme for a holiday tree that is as chic as can be.
