In November I decorate with turkeys and pumpkins. I have a small collection of turkey-themed ephemera that I was displaying on one of those magnetic “twine” thingies that hung on the end of the cabinet at the entry to the kitchen. That “twine” would often get to swing from a dog tail or errant elbow passing by and would sometimes drop one of those tiny strong magnets. Ugh!
It is a 5’ piece of steel bar, about 1/8" thick and 1/2" wide. I drilled a hole in one end to add some picture-hanging hardware and painted the whole thing with copper spray paint. Bumpers were added to protect the cabinet surface.
The whole thing is hung on the same picture rail hardware that Dale the Jackalope is hung on using orange gingham ribbon and a funky copper paperclip.
Thank you, friend! Dale has these whiskers that remind me of my dear friend, Dale and so it came to be. Also, I’m a namer. Cars, dog toys, cryptids that hang on the walls…
Awwww, thank you! Speaking of thinking, I gave nary a thought to storing this thing the other 11 months of the year. D’oh! It certainly won’t fit into the decoration totes. Perhaps I’ll hang it in the pantry? Sigh.
Thanks! Because TheMisterT LOOOOOVVVVVVESSSSS to cook and we tend to have at least one family visitor, we just can’t skip it. Also because I have started a collection of tacky turkeys that I just gotta display this month!
I’m considering using it for Christmas cards! But I think that after a couple of months of there being stuff there, I will be ready for that to be just-Dale. Well, Dale has some seasonal costumes…
