Thanksgiving is a week away and I hadn't even put my turkey platter out until I read this post on another blog. I dug it out from underneath my other platters and displayed it in the dining room. I love this platter and I don't know why I hadn't gotten it out yet. Maybe because I didn't really do hardly any fall decorating. Maybe because I don't have Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Maybe because Sarah won't be in for Thanksgiving. Nah, I think it was laziness.
This turkey platter is special because Tim bought it for me years ago for Christmas. He heard me say one time how fabulous it would be to have a large turkey platter. So, even though I don't think he hears everything I say he obviously does listen and hears the important stuff!! He found this Royal Staffordshire Clarice Cliff turkey platter on ebay. It is rather large and I had trouble finding a stand to display it. I'm not sure it will ever have a turkey on it but I certainly plan to make sure I display it every year for now on. If for nothing else but to remember that Tim listens and hears what I say!! :)
