This coming Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving. I've had these pilgrim figurines for several years, and I love to have them on display at this time of year. I love the details along with their soft Blue color.
I'm showing them from two angles: last year and this year. They're on the same glass table--by the front door--but on different sides.
Last year, we drove up to Gainesville to be with our daughter and her family for the holiday. This year, we're planning on spending the day with our son and his family. They live close by. What are your plans?

Such gorgeous figurines Sally. Happy BM and Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see a tradition of another country that we don't know much about.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving and a great week.

Wonderful characters! They fit nicely with the Feast "Thanks giving" They symbolize the gifts of the harvest.
ReplyDeleteAt the ceremony, which is mostly regionally organized in a church, but also as a procession, crops, grains and fruits are placed decorative. There are also other designated products as gifts of special closeness to nature, such as flour, honey or wine.
In some places there is a braided from cereals or vines "harvest crown" in the church or carried in a procession through the municipality. In rural folk religious communities come together to worship many parishioners. With Thanksgiving should be remembered with gratitude the yield in agriculture and gardens - and also that it is not solely in the hands of the people to have enough food. The harvest offerings are sometimes distributed after the party to the needy in the community, in homeless shelters or to charities.
We celebrate Thanksgiving on the first Sunday in October.
Greetings
Anne
I hope, Sally you have a wonderful thanksgiving and in so doing will remember the many people who have very little or nothing to eat like these children in my post yesterday (Sunday)
ReplyDeleteWe don't have that festival here - enjoy your celebrations - had problems adding my links this week - will try and add them later in the day.
ReplyDeleteThese figures are so fitting for this week ... and they're blue!
ReplyDeleteMy plans - eating a lot of good food that my daughters will make and also celebrating Hubby's 70th birthday!
Lovely Pilgrim figurines. Thanksgiving is not celebrated where I am but since I like it I observe it by myself and that makes me happy. This year I'm planning to cook something yummy (nothing definite yet but I'll get to it on Thursday) and buy myself some books to celebrate. Happy Monday, Sally.
ReplyDeleteHello Sally, Just stopping by to wish you a very happy thanksgiving celebration with your family. Me, I'm not doing anything much at all on Thursday. I'm going to stay at home and behave myself after way too much excitement last week :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun!

Happy Thanksgiving, Sally. I hope you and your family have a lovely, peaceful holiday.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Thanksgiving in Australia, but I believe that we should - it really is a wonderful tradition.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally
these are determined very valuable decorations for you.
Thanksgiving is also here in Deutschlnd an important day for the faithful people.
Nice that there are such days.
Greetings from Germany
Hi Sally and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope each and every Blue Crew that celebrates this day will enjoy and have many blessings too. Like Gerald, I could not get the link up. Finally it went thru this morning. Whew! We are having a huge feast but Jeremy works until 5:30 in the evening so we will eat at 6! Noelle and I split the big duties and all the kids pitch in and bring or make sides, It is always a beautiful day and Nick will be home tomorrow. Pray for good weather to travel in for him and all travelers this weekend. Hugs, Anne
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Sally! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding Hyde DP Xtra and Stockport Daily Photo - Have just tried adding Hyde Daily Photo and got an "Internal error" message. Tried the option to load the image from my computer and it found the image but failed to load it. Never mind - these things happen - found a few new blues while out photographing this morning so will have something next week probably.
ReplyDeleteSally, charming Pilgrim couple. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour little pilgrims are definitely keepers. The best to you and family on this special holiday. I am going to my sons. His wife is a wonderful cook and I get to bring home leftovers.
ReplyDeleteSally, love your little figurines. So lovely with the blue and white. They remind me of Lladro and Naio figurines. Have a lovely time with family.
ReplyDeleteLove it! My mother-in-law collects those Lladro and she would love this
ReplyDeleteSally, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
ReplyDeletePretty Pilgrim set! Love them. I don't know why but I have found more pilgrims in the past few years but then we have been going to more estate sales too.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Tday Sally!
No Thanksgiving celebrations in Sweden, but a Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Sally. Wonderful Pilgrim figurines. Thank you for Blue Monday, always a pleasure to join in.
ReplyDeleteJoy
I hope to see your beautiful pilgrims again next year, Sally! The soft blue and details (as you said) are perfect for this post. I hope you and all of your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Such a beautiful holiday.. my favourite one of all. Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThey are a very special pair, those pilgrims. We are going to my sisters here in town and I am making pies and salad. They are doing the turkey, there will be about 17 for dinner.
ReplyDeleteAnn
I love these porcelain figurines, exquisite creativity in these compositions!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very festive!!! I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, We had to go to town early this morning and just came home. Hence the late entry. I have shared this before and I posted it on Sat. My plan it to leave it up all week. We will have a crowd for Thanksgiving starting tomorrow and I am crazy busy. I am also wrapping Christmas gifts for three of our children's families so I won't have to mail them. Yikes! The pressure is on.
ReplyDeleteI love these figurines so much. I remember them. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day with your family dear.
Love, Jeanne
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you too! Whilst it's not a holiday here in the UK, I am thankful everyday for all the simple pleasures in life :-)
Have a great week!
