Whooooaaa Cowgirl!!

I have been deliberating for ages about getting a very very special pair of beautiful tan boots to wear for Winter.....and I hadn't decided on whether I go modern or western until just recently.  I have tried neither on (until I bought my $4 pair from Vinnies) so knew no better when I bought these darling boots from Sheplers!  Unbelievably, they were a size bigger than I would ever wear, but with 50% off the last pair, I thought this might just be the moment to sieze.

Well checked at the post office today (rather anxious over their delivery) and "Yes, they have arrived,"  I am sooo excited and rang hubby straight away but just needed to show some girls.

Now they are a bit lairy on my foot, but I really really love them and they are a perfect fit, any smaller and they would not fit....they smell of beautiful leather and I am just r......a.......t.......h.......e.......r happy about the whole thing.  So here they are..........

They are very very WESTERN!!!!!!!!!!

So I reckon the poor folk in town might just see my coming, but alas I will be comfy, feeling sporty and happy to be there....so they will just have to take this western boho chic on board.

Silhouette sweetie

I have been loving silhouette's for such a while now and finally got around to giving it a go this week.

Here are the end results of some fun painting with my sweetie and I.  We will make the calico one into a library or homework bag...that will double as a handy bag at home.

I am thinking her little silhouettes will be great on school books in the bottom corner, instead of her name, a gorgeous little silhouette label... can't wait to do it.

This printout was done after I took the photo on cardstock, then cut out the piccie, then I scanned it and placed it into a frame, then printed it and spray painted a frame to match and it now takes pride of place on my sweeties ducchess.....later to be hung amongst her photo wall collage.

This is our original work, together we painted the calico, I did the outside lines and sweetie the inside.  I wouldn't do it on glossy photo paper again as the black ink came off into the paint and had to redo it.  Just print on plain card.

I couldn't help it, I recently bought transfers and had never used them and really wanted one on her shirt like I had seen on TomKat Studio with her little girl...so beautiful.  Obviously I need a laser printer and it comes out completed and powdery so if I touch the image, it wipes off....Anyone that can help with this would be a great help.  So this print on a tshirt to go with her pettiskirt and dec out later is quite washed out as you can see.

Boots Gone Western!

I bought these $4 boots at Vinnies a few months ago, and don't think I would actually wear them out black...not really my colour, so have been sitting waiting, wondering what I might do with them....

I covered them in tape and elastoplast  around the metal bits....I knew it would stay on properly.

Then hit the spray paint, with them hung on the clothes line.   It wasn't the tan I was after, but would have to do.

I hot glued some old tassles on and I have my brown western boots.

I have sent them Western!

Swinging in the 50's

Just had to show off my latest vintage find, this pretty pretty aqua dress with loose top is definitely something I couldn't just leave in the shop without some great use.

I can't help but show you the pics of my littlest darlin' and I swinging to the 50's vibe....

I love teal and aqua and I don't suppose this combo is too crazy,...but not my fave, just the only wide belt I had.

and then how I wore the top out the next day...

Did I mention the outfit (aqua dress) was $4, the shoes in this pic, I haven't shown you yet, but you guessed it $4......I am really really saving up for a pair of Lucchese or Ariat tan western boots, but in the meantime,...these will do just fine!!!!
