| I created a fun Thanksgiving vignette in the entry with my life size wooden Pilgrims and two ships that may or may not (lol) resemble the Mayflower and the Speedwell. |
 |
| There were actually two ships that set sail for America.....the Mayflower and the Speedwell. They didn't get very far into the voyage before the Speedwell started leaking and both boats had to turn around. The Speedwell passengers were crowded onto the Mayflower and they set sail again. |
 |
| I am sure the captain of the Mayflower didn't have an Atlas, but he must have had some kind of chart to get him to America. |
 |
| I bought my Pilgrims at the auction a couple of years ago. Their faces have been carved from wood and are hand painted. I Pennyfied them with some pink clothing..... |
Adorable Thanksgiving vignette! It is YOU!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny..You have to know you are a neat part of my day. I don't miss a detail of what you do. It's fascinating!!
ReplyDeleteI see things in your home that I've never seen before and find myself mumbling to myself.."OH MY GOSH..would you just look at that!" and realize I've spoken right out loud when sweet husband answers from the other room! I love the way you are able to get your pretty pinks in everything! Adorable!!
Your pictures and decors are so pretty. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

Oh, Penny! Your Mr. and Mrs. Pilgrim are too darn cute! I'll be smiling all day just thinking about them.
ReplyDeletePennyfy... love that, somehow, I don't think pink was in their repretoire, but ...then they are living with you now...so!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute and I love the boats. I hadn't realize there were two. Thanks for the history and view of the 'real' pilgrims, Sandi
Love the open atlas as an added touch and of course your "Pennified Pink" accents! :) Thank you for sharing this week on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth!
