Description
Cowboy theme. We didnt want the same ole' theme from the stores, so my husband suggested Cowboy and Indian party. We had to ditch the indian idea after not finding anything in the stores. So Cowboy it was!
Design Inspiration
The inspiration was from a sock pony I had seen online! Then It went from there.
Decorating Style
Mixing old and new
