Pilgrim Hat And Feathers
The turkey stands in a classic pilgrim hat with its tail feathers spread, surrounded by autumn leaves, pumpkins and acorns in warm harvest tones. Detailed feather work is what keeps it from looking like a clip-art bird at a distance. The whole panel is cheerful rather than rustic, which suits a household that decorates mainly for the children in the family.
Gobble Gobble Repeated
The lettering repeats around the turkey rather than sitting in one line, which fills the panel and gives it a playful tone. Repeated type also stays readable from a passing car, since some part of it faces the road whichever way the flag turns. It is the element guests comment on, and it saves putting a separate sign out in the yard.
Up For Thanksgiving Week
The standard twelve by eighteen inch panel suits a front yard, lawn, flower bed, porch or entryway, and this design belongs to the stretch between the first invitations and the meal itself. Set at the end of a driveway it tells arriving relatives they have the right house. After the weekend it comes down and a plain leaf flag can go back up.
Weather Through Late November
Polyester of this weight handles what November gives a yard: wind, rain and low sun across the afternoon. The orange, red, brown and golden tones stay vivid rather than bleaching, so the flag looks the same on the day of the dinner as it did going up. Both faces carry the print, so relatives walking up from the street see the turkey rather than a blank reverse.
