When Madrone was born, she was given a BEAUTIFUL vest and chaps set from a friend. This year she was finally big enough to wear them. I pieced together the rest of her costume, red hat from a thrift store from Lala, red plaid shirt from an online Carhart store, red Ariat boots from an online store, belt buckle from Amazon and jeans were hand-me down Levi's. I figured to top off her costume our Miniature Horse Gambler had to included in the equation. We had our annual Fall Festival at the school I work at and I asked my principal if Gambler could attend as well. I explained that he is more like a dog than a pony and is as broke as a horse can be. She said that would be fine so I loaded him up in my minivan and he was the hit of the festival. My crafting buddy Sierra of
Legal Needle and I had a booth there where I was selling my tutus and mason jar cups and she was selling her knit and crochet goods. So when Gambler wasn't walking in the costume parade, he hung out next to our booth getting lots of love from students and families. My other daughter Scarlet is a piggy, if you couldn't tell. :o)
