I have delayed my thanksgiving post until now because the 20 people I invited didn't come.
It was pretty sad because I spent the whole day cooking with Morgan 
along with the full previous day shopping for everything.
Everything was gluten free and so Morgan and I were honored to share our gluten free feast with fellow celiac and vintage lover: Ruby who festively came as a turkey!

Outfit details:
Hat: paper turkey made by me haha
Dress: 1960s pilgrim-esque black and white dress
