Cowboy Reflections Tablescape

The month of June is the beginning of "Rodeo Frenzy" in our area - it seems that every week, another town or city is celebrating "Fair Week" or "Rodeo Week." So, we thought it would be fun to celebrate along with them by doing a tablescape that reflects the wild west in all of us.

We were fortunate enough to start our tablescape design with real horseshoes that Pat borrowed from a local Farrier. They acted as the inspiration to the entire table. Yes, and once again, History repeats itself, I have hay all over my table (and on the chairs, on the floor, on my Dachshunds, everywhere......)

Over view of the table

The place setting

Yes, we just used the flatware last week, but it was the perfect choice for this week's table - "Montana" by Gourmet Settings

Here's a close up of one of the inspiration horseshoes - Pat laid them all around the table

We decided not to use the salad plate but here's a close up of one of them - there are four different centers

The dinner plate

Montana Lifestyles........made in Thailand.......hmmmm....something is not quite right here.....???????

We just got these new chargers - there were only four in the store. We had to have eight of them for this table - Rayleen at Pier 1, once again, saved the day and got four more for us and in a hurry.

Yes, I know, you don't really need a water glass but most of the family does not drink "the hard stuff" - so water it is......

We found this beautiful, large figurine at "The Tailwaggers" - a local thrift shop dedicated to animal welfare. Every purchase/donation goes to The Sequoia Humane Society.

I tried to get a better picture for you of the "barbed wire" that Pat wrapped around the center. It is actually western-style garland that she bought years ago

The napkin ring rope? Last week's belt on Ralph's pants......

Pat used tin cans for rustic flower vases 

One last look at the table from the other end

Where it came from:

We wanted to thank Erica Canevari for lending us our inspiration this week. The table is one that we have both wanted to do for a very long time.
