Rustle Up a Vintage Longhorn Wall Rack

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:30:00 GMT

I live in Texas, where real-life longhorns are regularly spotted along the road -- but I've never seen one of these beauties. Perfect for hanging your coat or hat on one of its six plastic horseshoes, this vintage wall rack is just looking for a little cowpoke's room to call home. The horns are plastic, too, so you can rest comfortably knowing no steers were wrangled in the making of it.

$120 and likely going fast from Three Potato Four.

Be a Cowgirl or Cowboy, Even in the Rain

Heather's post about baby Western-wear boots inspired me to do a little searching for Western apparel. Turns out, the raingear category has some pretty kickin' rainboots--both for cowgirls and cowboys ($19.99). Kids always look so adorable when outfitted in rain gear and these are a nice rest from the usual frog theme.

These Boots Were Only Kinda Made For Walking

A girlfriend from Texas just announced she was pregnant again so I started looking for the perfect gift. What does any potential cowmomma need for her wee cowboy or cowgirl? Ta-dah! The cowbaby bootie! These are hand-crocheted out of 100 percent cotton yarn and have a thin sole.

$41, available in different colors in sizes 3-months to 18-months.

Mosey Around with Western Chief Kids’ Cowboy Umbrella

I thought spring showers brought May flowers, not summer showers bringing ... well, I’d prefer flowers, but in our neck of the woods, they bring hungry ol’ mosquitoes. I’m still figuring out an effective way to fend off the buggies, but we can handle the rain. To prep for sudden showers, we’ve stashed umbrellas in cars, in the house, at work, anywhere we can. Though no one really complains during a downpour, it’s nice to have a kid-sized ‘brella, like Western Chief Kids’ Cowboy Umbrella.

It’s got the retro-Western feel that Howdy Doody would appreciate with a bucking bronco, horseshoes, stars and a rope decorating it’s brown nylon fabric. If you’re really into it, you can spring for the matching rain boots and rain coat.

Available at Endless.com for $19.95.

Current Favorite Threadless Tee: Cowboys

Kelly Mills — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:02:00 GMT

I love them Threadless Tees, with their clever sayings and interesting art and kinda nerdy vibe that suits us just perfectly. My current favorite for kids is this Optical Illusion Kid shirt, unisex and $17, because our subscription to Highlights has turned our family into optical illusion fiends. Look, I'm well aware we're geeks. We're cool with it. But look, it's also macho cowboys, and I like the sepia tones, so there.
