Lassoingcowgirl

I was looking for a cowgirl.  Still, her loveliness took me by surprise.

The cowgirl on this card is everything that a cowgirl should be — she is spare and strong.  She is as timeless as orange and stripes.  She has her hip cocked just so, because she knows who is wearing the cowgirl hat and just where that lasso will land.

A great card.  Handmade in Pittsburgh, one of my favorite cities (really!).

Cowboys are boys of few words (though not so few as cows) but they always say “thank you”.

Mind your P’s and Q’s the western way with this fine set of three cards with brown envelopes.

We’ve been meaning to talk to you about your lucky jeans. They are looking rode hard and put up wet. Luck is hemorrhaging from the holes in the knees. The patches that once seemed to add an extra layer of good fortune are unraveling at the seams. Oh lucky jeans, what is to be done? How quickly the lucky become the day-late-dollar-short!

Hope has arrived. Ride tall in the saddle again when you hike up your drawers with this artisan made, fused glass belt buckle by Kiku. The luck is back, baby.

From Dolly Parton to the Lead Bongo Player for The Nouveau Hipster Orchestra to the CEO of Widgets Inc, this belt would be glorious for any cowgirl (or secret cowgirl). This is the genuine article, straight from the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas — a place I’d sure like to visit!

A great tee for the knotty but nice cowgirl on your shopping list. Knotty Cowboys have not been forgotten, they too get a tee. Both designs also come in longsleeves and as sweatshirts. Well ain’t that dandy!
