At trick or treat time, a different scene. Visiting three neighbors, as promised? Not enough. We traveled to five and the boys chatterboxed the whole way, proud of their rodeo cowboy identities and prouder of being able to say, "I have as much candy as I can hold". They stuffed the front pockets of their overalls until they looked like their tummies had traveled to their chests.
None of those pictures came out, though, for nobody wanted to remain still.
We're all nibbling the proceeds, a candy or two a day.
Had fun making the outfits. The pattern is from Butterick...I think. Fake cowhide for the fabric, and the vests are lined with chambray and so are reversible. We hope they'll want to wear those again, because they're cute!

They are the cutest cowboys in town!
Thank you, Jenni :} They got lots of extra hugs on account of that soft fake fur...
Not that your twin cowboys aren't adorable, but I'm partial to cats and just had to say Zip Zip was beautiful. I still miss my cat Nikki from years ago. Looking forward to exploring your site as I enjoy period dramas and literature.
Dear Jean,
Thank you! I do miss Zip Zip very much, even these years later, and think of her daily. By the way, I had found your blog just the other day while researching potential menus for an Austenesque Advent's entertainment. What fun!
Thanks kindly,
Natalie in KY
