With Thanksgiving just around the corner it seems fitting to share my collection of Thanksgiving candles. I am not including turkeys candles (which at current count number 36).
I have tiny Pilgrim ladies in gray.
I have tiny Pilgrim ladies in blue.
I have Pilgrim men.
I have a few Pilgrims in a medium size (small Pilgrim in photo for comparison).
I have one giant Pilgrim.
All of the above candles are Gurley brand. Digging the original prices of 35 and 15 cents. Those were the days.
I have one lone Pilgrim of a certain style. He is a Tavern candle. When I was taking this photo I questioned if he was actually a Pilgrim (he is so faded)...but I am pretty sure he is.
This year one of my Mom's girlfriends gifted me with some Thanksgiving candles and there were two Indians in the bunch. I NEVER run across the Indians at estate sales, so these were a welcome addition to my Thanksgiving celebration. They are also pretty darn cute.
I also have a trio of acorn/fall candles that I mix in.
A fun little collection to honor Thanksgiving. They all live together in my china hutch.
If you have an suggestion for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ____". Something different each Tuesday.
Happy Turkey Day.
That is a whole herd of pilgrims! Love them.
I read the first line as "I have tiny Pilgrim ladies in gravy." I looked everywhere for the gravy. OH GRAY! I must be hungry. I don't even like gravy.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Hope it is a HAPPY DAY!

A collection we share! Sadly, my candles are already packed away. Not doing thanksgiving at my house this year and need room for Christmas!
Have a great day!

Looks like you're going to have to get another turkey to feed that crowd.

I love the listing Pilgrim! He must've gotten a bit too close to the sun! Alas, I only have 32 turkey candles and a few random Pilgrims. Must keep my eyes peeled for more!

Awwww missed your post this morning!
Darling Thanksgiving pics. Can't believe you have that many candles!
I have my display in the front window still at least. Full blown decorating for Christmas this weekend.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
