As I write this post on a Sunday afternoon, we just returned
from Sunday School this morning and I thought it would be a nice picture of
introduction for my post today. I have a country pew from an old church
that my husband purchased about 25 years ago. It’s been placed everywhere
but now is in our den. I though since it was Sunday I would dress it up
to look like a western Sunday go to meeting pew. Especially since I will be sending it in a
few weeks to my daughter’s new home in Cumming.
But that’s another post for later.
Also, there are a lot of pics here so please be patient with me as we stroll along......

I also thought I would show you some western pics to continue to set the western mood that we took while traveling this past February to Dallas, Texas! This is in the stockyard at Ft. Worth Stockyards and the cattle drive there that we watched. It was very amazing to see the types of cattle herded through there.
While there I considered purchasing some cowboy boots for myself (always wanted a pair of red ones) but decided I might better wait.
Now to my post…
In looking at a website for some cowboy
boots I ran across King Ranch Saddle Shop at www.krsaddleshop.com and thought it would be great to create a post about a western theme in our home and present it to you guys for viewing. And by the way, you can visit King Ranch on Pinterest.
Then I realized it might fun to post a western event of something that really occurred in our home. That was last fall 2016 when we hosted our monthly gourmet club. I did a western theme and even though the western decorations were all over our home, we had some really good pictures and tablescapes that I wanted to share with you

Because we had a large number attending I had 4 tables that
I had to prepare. Here is a pic of our dining room dressed for our
western dinner. I used tin plates from the dollar store as chargers and
put a red checked table cloth on the table. I thought it turned out
really well with my husband’s booths and hat.
There are even a few poker chips on the table for a quick game! A few of them are some my husband has collected from antique stores. Gives that vintage feel.
This is the table on the porch and here I used my husband's Daisy Rifle on top of a blue checked tablecloth all bunched up, with my grandson's cowboy boots and hat.
On the rock patio near the outdoor fireplace I used burlap runner with a chalkboard strip on it, along with another of my grandson's cowboy hats. Also I used an old rusty iron pot that belonged to my Big Daddy's (It was used to make lye soap back in the 1920s). Also I have an old black kettle used on the open fire. We live on Carnes Road and there used to be an old plantation on our property. The wagon wheel that is in the background was one that we found on this property along with a hatchet. These were found when we were digging up flower beds here and there in the back yard. Pretty cool huh?
I loved the pics taken in front of the outdoor fireplace of
couples that were enjoying our western party!
In the kitchen I set up the three tiered Pottery Barn tray with mason drinking jars, a red kerchief and silverware for everyone to pick up on their way to their table. And you can't have a western party without sunflowers.
The deck was donned with an additional drinking station. The antique washbowl held ice.
And, as the night wore on the lights came on so we enjoyed the evening even more with our friends.
Hope you enjoyed my post today. Please share your comments as I love to host parties and create new tables capes. Always looking for new ideas.
