A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY

When it is Cowboy Poet time we like to decorate a little country...

Putting a square of burlap and a bandanna in the mason jar helped to keep the  Sunflowers in place and We liked the look it gave.

We added just a simple paper napkin ring

And for their favor an "Edible Cow Pie"   aka  No Bake Cookie

Cowboy Centerpiece- Have a Root Tootin' Time!!

Guest Post from Doris!  

We love when our Cowboy Poets come to perform, it gives us a chance to decorate with a western flair.

Burlap is very inexpensive to make table toppers with.  Dollar Store bandanna's add the color.

During the summer you can pick up these cowboy hats fairly inexpensive.  

Of course our candy to munch on was Root Beer Barrels.  

Ideas:
Birthday party for your "little buck-a-roo?"
Goodbye party themed "Happy Trails?"
Getting to know you party "Howdy Partner"

Cowboy Theme Centerpieces

Guest Post from my Mom Doris!

I think the best way to do decorations is to have a theme.  Sometimes the theme is based around a  holiday or the speaker or program we are having.

One of my favorite themes:   "Cowboy" Theme.

I used bandanna's from the dollar store layering the red and blue.  These lanterns from IKEA are so versatile to use for many occasions.  They are well worth the investment initially.   We added a battery candle with bandanna paper around the center.  The final touch was some rope available at any hardware store.   

I like to have something on the table for the guests to munch on so I added a basket of yummy Chicago Mix Popcorn  available from Costco.

 

Add even just a simple paper band to the napkins  for a touch of color and a way to say "we went the extra mile for you"
