Getting ready for the Turkey

Hi ladies! I bet many are getting ready for Thanksgiving. Here are some goodies I have found recently but I just haven't had the chance to wear. First this vintage wool cape I bought at the Flea Market from the stance where I got my mustard coat. I love everything about it, it's perfect, the only thing I had to do was fix the lining a bit.
 I bought this grandpa cardigan at the thrift store a few weeks ago, I found it in the men's section, it's made of acrylic and some of the original button were yellowish and broken so I replaced them, I think these buttons look way better on the cardigan, I also replaced the buttons on my mustard coat.
 This gorgeous thing still has the tag, it was $3.99 at Goodwill, I bought it over the Summer and I just can't wait ti wear it over a crisp white oxford shirt. The sleeves are stained a bit but that's fine with me, the top is still in great condition and it's clean.
 I was so excited to find these western shoes for only $2 dollars, I had been eyeing a newer version at Urban Outfitters but couldn't make myself pay so much for something I see often at thrift stores, unfortunately for me I had not seen them in my size until now. These are leather and made in Spain, perfect.
 And last is this little pendant, I saw one at Mamushka Marie's etsy store and I wanted it so bad but it was sold, so I made a trip to the miniature section of my crafts store looking for a minnie teddy bear and guess what I found? The same mini sewing machine! I added a little bow and put it on a ring and now it's ready to wear on a chain.
Ladies I hope all of you have a wonderful time eating Turkey! Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so jealous of your shoes! Those are so perfect! I can't believe you found them for only $2...good find. I saw some like that for $70 on Modcloth, and I almost considered buying them but I could not justify the price. Seeing your find has given me hope that I can find my own at a more reasonable price.

Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings from Arizona
