Your turkey was perfect and a stroke of decorating genius. My Grandmother always had one and I never did learn where she had found them or the mold she had used. That longing brought me to the point of finding an antique bisque Turkey butter mold, but now the issue is managing to get it out whole. The mold came without instructions and is in two pieces and I softened the butter and put it into the mold and then froze it for 30 min, but for some reason it seems to want to stick to the mold when I try to open it. As the mold is antique, I was afraid to try to warm it to loosen the butter shape. <br />So, would you or any of your readers have a suggestion for easing the form out of the mold? Thanks for the consideration and hope you are able to be "home" this year.<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276622950052576243.post-36180272844529181712008-12-01T09:13:00.000-05:002008-12-01T09:13:00.000-05:00Your table is beautiful!

It really is a difficult holiday to be alone on, even though I was the only one who was ever excited about it! Sweet comment from your Mom, makes me miss mine terribly. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I bought that same "turkey" butter a couple years ago and my Mom gave me a great eye roll when she saw the receipt :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276622950052576243.post-64297964141490403242008-11-28T04:15:00.000-05:002008-11-28T04:15:00.000-05:00I came here via tastespotting.. lovely post and th...I came here via tastespotting.. lovely post and the comment from your mom brought tears to my eyes. :)Somnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964388812346909974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276622950052576243.post-53641115221717081882008-11-27T10:02:00.000-05:002008-11-27T10:02:00.000-05:00Both of your table settings look great, I too woul...Both of your table settings look great, I too would have purchased the turkey butter just because it was cute.

I can remember watching each of you sleeping and being proud that you were breathing. You had to do nothing except breath to swell my breast with pride. Now, that you are all adults, I know that my purpose in life was to mother. I know by each of your successes, that I have performed a job well done. But you guys were so loving and so amazing that it was not a job but a journey.....and what a journey it was and continues to be. And, in deference to you.....before you came into adulthood, not only did I not set such a stupendous table, I had never used my wedding china. You lifted us to a more sophisticated level. Martha Steward, I'm not. You will be missed today, as you are missed everyday. And off I go to try to persuade your dad to join me in a glass of wine. I love you, child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276622950052576243.post-5355739489195804682008-11-27T07:43:00.000-05:002008-11-27T07:43:00.000-05:00A most beautiful and well deserved ode to Momma. ...A most beautiful and well deserved ode to Momma.
