Go Texan Day and A Book Giveaway

I believe she might be the prettiest cowgirl in Texas. Miss Olivia does love a costume and Go Texan Day is yet another opportunity for her to dress up. She and Dad picked out the attire yesterday and she wanted to sleep in it last night.

I hope her belt buckle doesn't cause her to lose her balance!  Oh, I predict a summer full of pink cowboy boots, whatever the occasion.

In honor of Go Texan Day, let's give away a book written by a Texan shall we? Kay Whitt's Sew Serendipity to be exact.

 

Don't be concerned- she has no Western projects in the book! They are all gorgeous skirts, jackets and dresses made in her beautiful style with excellent patterns and instructions. To win a signed copy of this book, leave a comment by Wednesday, March 2, by noon Central Time. Why don't you tell me in the comments if you have ever owned a pair of cowboy boots and on what occasion you wear them. I bought my first pair when I moved to Houston and I wear them once a year to go to the Rodeo.

I was given a pair of boots as a small child and they were GREAT! Sadly that was my first and last pair until about a year ago. Yipppeee! I wear my boots pretty regularly these days! ;)

I won't argue with you about that prettiest cowgirl... they don't come any cuter than that! (But there's still that other matter. ;) )

Believe it or not, I DO have a pair of cowboy boots! Okay, so they're 40+ years old and haven't been worn for a good many years. But I used to ride a horse in them! They've also done a lot gardening and other chores in their time. :)

I did have a pair of cowboy boots. I wore them a lot.

[Anita]

I don't own any cowboy boots but I think it would be fun to have a good pair of them. thank you for the chance to win a copy of this great book!

[Suzy McQ]

Yep, same thing, once a year I wear my black ones with red designs! I Yeeeee haw!

[CL]

Funny, I was just thinking about cowgirl boots the other day. I have never owned a pair :-( , but love, love, love country music & was thinking I should buy a pair so I can try some line dancing!

[Stacia]

Yes, I have owned a pair or two of cowboy boots. My favorite pair were the red lace-ups. Funny though...I wore them when I lived in Arizona and not while living in Dallas! Now that I live in Northern California (yes, I have moved a lot), rain boots seem to be in order!

[patricia]

First pair in Houston also, hardly have an occasion to wear them, but would love an occasion...

Are Canadians accepted in this giveaway? I take a chance! As for the boots, I have never owned a pair but I am sure it fells great to wear cowboy boots! I might try that someday!!

[Jennifer]

I've never owned cowboy boots, but I wish I did!

[Wendy P]

I've always wanted cowboy boots. The good ones are so expensive! I'd wear them all winter if I had some. I think they are adorable with skirts, which I would make from the book if I won it!

[Ellyn]

Yes! My hubby bought me mine 8 years ago when we moved to Dallas. I wear mine with jeans just for fun...

[Francis C. Moore]

I have never owned a pair of cowboy boots. My 6 year old granddaughter, Olivia, would look cute in that pink hat and belt.

[Janet]

I owned a brown pair in my twenties, very casual and I used to wear them when I went on summer dates with my honey. I don't seem to remember what happened to them but you know, I might need a new pair now!

[Janet]

She is adorable!! Being from OK and loving pink, I want the hat, boots and belt. The book would be just an added bonus!!

[Jenny]

no cowboy boots here. city girl...with bunions actually who prefers very comfortable shoes. thanks for a chance!

[Sara Upshaw]

I would love a signed copy! wow! I was going to buy the book anyway. It would be much cooler to win this one.
I have never, to my knowledge, owned a pair of cowboy boots. I keep hearing they are the most comfortable things, but I guess I just don't believe it.

[Debra]

I actually have 2 pair but haven't worn them in ages. I last wore them to a country music festival that you camp out at during the summer but that was before kids and marriage. I wonder if they even fit anymore. However I can't bear to throw them--does that make me a hoarder? :) Looks like a fabulous book!

[ToilingAnt]

I had a pair of red Justins that I wore with pride to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Loved them!

So looking forward to Go Texan day-- celebrating March 2 here in Baton Rouge with supper at Ninfa's. Looking forward to a nice salty margarita! ;-)

[Ashley]

I had numerous pairs growing up - of course it was due to the fact I spent my summers riding horses. No boots recently though. She looks adorable!
