Life Size Pilgrims

I fell in love with this sweet Pilgrim couple the other day at the auction.    Whenever I have seen Pilgrims before, the faces are painted on....these have carved faces!   Also, they are usually table top Pilgrims...these are life size!

They were a little too plain for my taste, so I added some Pennytouches to them!
I am using a pink rose theme for Thanksgiving this year......
so, I made Mrs Pilgrim a pretty pink apron, added some pink fabric to her collar, some pretty lace, and 2 pink fabric roses.

I added some pink rose fabric to Mr Pilgrim's hat,  some fabric buttons, fabric to his collar, and a fabric rose.


These pilgrims were made in Sayre, Ok  (they are marked on the back).  I love the way their faces are carved...lots of detail.   Whoever made these did an amazing job! 

I thought $15 was a good price for this cute couple.   You will see them again in the formal dining room when I do a post on our Thanksgiving table....see you soon!

  1. Adorable! What a unique find and I loved the way you have dressed them up and added some bling to them. Someone really did do an amazing job carving the faces.

  2. The pilgrims, I'm sure, would approve if they knew then how a little color, a little fun adds such joy to our lives.

  3. Penny you certainly did Pennyfy them. I loved how you said you were using a Pink Rose theme for Thanksgiving...duh..I couldn't imagine anything else.lol Where is Mr H going to find a Pink Turkey?? I love the Pilgrims, you added the perfect touches to them, as usual. ♥

    I don't do Thanksgiving decorating because I go right into Christmas. I am so behind though this year that it is not funny. I am thinking that i may not get to decorate the upstiars this year with everything that I have going on..... If I don't. then I don't.... There will always be next year...

    Hugs,

  15. The Pilgrims are probably rolling in their graves since you prettIed them up when they were supposed to be staid and stern. They just did not have a Penny around back then to straighten them out. Those two are definitely pieces of folk art and for that price they were a steal. Love their faces.
