(These are part of my sterling silver farm animal earring series which includes things like unique silver chicken earrings.)I realize that not everyone reading this may understand why an otherwise sane American woman would want to put a pair of turkey earrings on. I think you have to grow up in this country to appreciate the significance of Thanksgiving.

Even if you don’t eat turkey, the spirit or the day is the main thing. To me there is nothing better than sharing an afternoon meal with the people you love best, and I relish this day. (And the pumpkin pie, of course.)

To me, the meaning of the word “family” has evolved throughout the years. I seldom see my siblings, and my parents are gone now. But Thanksgiving is just as much fun as it ever was. Possibly more than it ever was. How can you beat having a 3 year old grand daughter to share the day with?

It’s a day when we can all appreciate the concept of giving thanks, and become even more aware of what we have that brings joy to our lives.

And lastly, of course, it’s a day to dress accordingly. What better way to celebrate this most significant of all dinners than with my perfect little sterling silver turkey earrings?

Why not splurge and wear The Magic Zoo turkey pin as well? If you eat by candlelight they will sparkle and catch the light in a most intriguing way. I can see it now!
