My Lil Buckaroo

 

Last week we celebrated Hunter’s 18th birthday.  To see his birthday post, click here.  I wanted to do the table in a way that would reflect some of his childhood memories.  I went into the attic and pulled out his first cowboy boots!  I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them!  The vase that I put inside the boot actually helped it to stand up straight!

 

 

I bought this gun holster for him when he was about 2 years old.  His name is engraved in the leather.

 

 

I used open mouth canning jars as candle holders.  I inserted a picture that would go along with the theme.  The outside of the jar is wrapped in wire with little stars.  I did drop a votive holder inside the jar to keep the candle from damaging the picture.

 

 

I just bought the runner from PB a couple of weeks ago.  It was on clearance for $15!!!  I think it was originally $60.  It worked out perfectly for this table.

 

 

Rattan chargers were topped with white ironstone chargers.  The golden yellow and deep red plates bring out the beautiful colors of the runner.

 

 

Remember my DIY napkin rings?  To see how I made these, click here.  The napkins were also on clearance at PB for $11 for 4!  I don’t get there often but when I do go, I head straight for the sale section!

 

 

 

The blue glass is Moonstone by Fostoria and the iced tea is by Gorham.

 

 

An old rope was coiled around the runner to fill in the empty spaces.

 

 

My lil buckaroo is a young man now!  A young man that I am proud to call my son!

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
