A Cowgirl Party

When my friend Cathy had a birthday coming up, we decided to throw her a surprise party fit for a cowgirl! The whole thing was Becky's idea & she planned the country menu - including her delicious peach cobbler {see the next post for her recipe!}.

Also on the menu - a crock pot chicken & veggie dish, salad, fruit, & rolls. It was all served in Cafe Rio tin bowls.

When we needed color inspiration for the party, our buddy Sara Jane came through with flying colors. She brought a tassel garland that had been recycled from another party. We loved the mint, pink, peach & gold so much that we made tissue balls to go with it. We also used jute & rope for rustic touches on the table. It kind of feels like burlap is over-used now days, but it looked great with our cowgirl theme, so we used squares on all our tables.

Much to Cathy's horror delight, we each went around the room and shared a memory or funny story about her. It was a rootin' tootin' good time!
