The theme for the porch this year is "Ride 'Um Cowboy Christmas" |
I live in New Mexico.....about 8 miles from the Texas border. So, I wanted to do our porch with a Tex-NMex flavor! Come on up on the porch and sit a spell.... |
Santa is sitting in a vintage ladder back chair...that is a spring wreath to his left and it is hanging on a old metal shoe repair stand. |
Here is my other Santa Chair.....Cowboys always take their boots off at the door.... |
The horses are all saddled up and ready to ride... This is our filly.... |
And this is our pretty little mare... |
I made a tree from old boots for the front porch...the tree topper is a pink glittery Cowgirl hat.... |
I didn't count 'um, but there are quite a few boots! I think around 20. |
There is even a boot for the tree stand.. |
You may recognize these chairs from a post I did earlier in the summer.... they have been redone in pink for the Christmas porch! I bought them at a yard sale...$2 each... |
And the FREE boots, are now a Christmas tree! |
Our next door neighbor trimmed his tree's, so H gathered the branches up and I made this big beautiful wreath (and the swag on the front porch)... .thank you Gary! |
This wreath hung over the mirror is a vintage horse collar... |
At night, the porch comes to life! I love the lights... |
and the candles...yes, that is a car spring in the boot with a candle in it! |
The tree's have Santa heads and poinsettia's on them. |
We have chandy's to light the way to the front door,,,, |
And a pretty little filly to greet you. She is riding her trike now, but she loves to ride her pony |
Now ya'll come back! |

ReplyDeletePenny, this is just amazing! You have such a wonderful, creative imagination and it shows in everything you do! Love the theme and that boot tree? Genius! Free boots? What a find! I'm hoping to score some pink ones - not for a tree, but to wear. I love pink! Hugs, Leena
