Trip to Desert Flats Farm

                                         

 

We went and saw Charlie Newton in Southern CO this past Friday. He has Desert Flats Farms. You have to check out his site below. Charlie does great metal work and we bought some of that along with the skull pictured above. Charlie was great to deal with and we bought a few other items we found around his farm. Great day!

Cowboy Tunes

These vintage looking "Pee Wee" cowboy boots are one of my favorites.
I love the inlay stylized white music note and "fence climber" tips.
But mostly I really like how short they are. I recall my Mom had a pair in the 70's that were likely from the 60's. Today it reminds me of the old photos of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.

Womens Size 6 1/2 Black with the white inlay. Made by "Code West".
"leather upper with man made materials"
Good overall condition. I put some black polish on them, minor scuffs on the toe and heel
