All About Horses, Cowboys & Indians Western Decor
A little bit about my store, Horses, Cowboys and Indians Western Decor. Since I love the western decor theme and being artistically inclined, I needed an outlet for my Gourd Art and Horseshoe Art, so I opened this store. I looked around for other products to stock here since it is a bit difficult to find quality western decor. I think I have succeeded in this as I have a nice selection of reasonably priced items to offer for sale. You can't just visit my store once and say that you have seen everything because I am constantly adding new items from my suppliers, and occasionaly taking some items off because they are no longer available, but I am constantly creating new Gourd and Horseshoe Art too, and no 2 pieces are alike. Most of the horseshoe items we have you can purchase more than one of because we can make more of most of them. But the site is always changing so come back often to see what's new.
My farrier keeps me supplied with used horseshoes and I take the nails out, clean and polish them on a wire wheel to a brushed metal finish and either paint them black or seal them with polyurethane so they don't rust.
My gourd art is something that I really enjoy doing. I grow my own gourds and it is fun to watch them grow and try to decide what they might become when they are ready to craft. It takes me quite a while to create each piece, and it is a labor of love.
I have found a source for nostalgic tin signs with a rustic country theme that I think are really nice. Also I have found a line of cast iron items that are pretty cute and reasonably priced. Now, the Liberty Bronze Collection of horses, cowboys and indians are great. They are made from alabastrite or stone resin and finished with a bronze-like finish that makes them look and feel like real bronze. From a distance you can't tell if they are real bronze sculptures or not. They are very nice and make great gifts.
The latest thing we have added is a free certificate with every purchase to join a Travel Club that offers discounts on cruises and hotels, two for one airfares. We think it makes a great thank you gift.
So come by and check out the store often for new items and rest assured that your ordering is secure. www.horsescowboysandindians.com
A little about myself; Even though I live in Southern California I am a country girl at heart. I come from a farming family and am proud of my western heritage. I own horses and love to ride, I also love to create artistic pieces of art such as gourd art and horseshoe art. I needed an outlet for all my creations, so that is why I opened this store, Horses, Cowboys & Indians Home Decor
