Vintage Horse Themed Birthday Party

I still can't believe my first born babe is now 8! 

She's infatuated with anything that has to do with horses, so after she helped me pick out the color scheme, I got to work on the invites and everything else fell into place. 

A simple invite tied with thick rope twine. I attached
our address label to the backs to let the party girls know where the
sleepover was being held.

I wrapped the two wine pictures we had hanging above the sidebar
in the kitchen to make for a rustic backdrop and to help the color
scheme flow.

The party girls enjoyed painting their own shirts, cowgirl style...and then a simple peel and stick horse themed craft of bookmarks and a foam boot before pizza dinner, cake and ice cream.

Then popcorn, movies and sleeping bags in the living room and waking up to chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, a great party indeed!

Pink streamers and a few balloons made for an inexpensive but
impressive backdrop behind the kitchen table.

A roll of wrapping paper was the perfect table runner with stamped
horseshoes, punched out with pink hearts.

And treat bag thank you's for the party girls, some rope Twizzlers
with a message from the Birthday Girl.

"Thanks for coming to my party, I hope you had a ropin' good time"

 What's your favorite party theme?? 

I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed putting it all together!

Vintage Cowgirl Party

If you've got a little cowgirl on your hands, head on over to Kangaroo Mama's blog and have a galloping good time checking out all of her fun party decorations and ideas. I enjoyed creating coordinating party decorations for her and they will soon be listed in the shop!

Horsin' Around

And here's what my pretty little white board looks like now...

GORGEOUS aren't they??

I found these little beauties on ETSY, surprise surprise!!...At a sweet little shop called CamillaCotton. I kindly asked if she'd paint them colors to coordinate with my daughters bedding and she quickly replied with a yes. I was beyond THRILLED when they arrived in the mail, all bubble wrapped and ready to hang. 

Since we move every couple of years, I wanted the hooks easy to transport, so a board seemed the best fit. That way we only have two screws to deal with and two holes to fill instead of six! 

Another sweet addition to the horse themed room, LOVE it!
