Lauren N says: Those sure are so mighty pretty boots!
What shoe size are you, Mary Jane?
MaryJane says: I’m a 7 or 7.5. These boots are a 7.
Shery says: I guess they were just waiting for the right ‘cinderfarmgirlella’ to slip her feet into them. When the bottoms get too worn looking, you could always make a purse out of the tops ;o) shery
Daizy Bailes says: Shery , Mary Jane, they would make a neat-o purse but its always best to re-sole a great pair of boots with “history”. If you haven’t worn the tops and shanks out than they can be regifted and the history goes on and on. Those are real knock-out stomping boots. Looking good! What a super gift!
Betty may says: I’m 70,and growing up on the farm and watching Dale Evans and various other female western stars,I always wanted to be a cow girl or ride in women barrel races at the rodeo!But teaching school and raising 3 sons were just as exciting,so seeing the boots brings back happy memories of a long

MaryJane says: We’ll have to get together for a photo! That’s an old farm implement out my window that was used by the bachelor brothers that lived and died here before I laid claim. There are several of these laying around because my husband’s family farmed here a of couple generations also. They’re awesome as photo props.
Betty Stone says: I went to school in a one-room schoolhouse. I never wore white though. We went in a horse-driven wagon and sometimes in a 1941 Chevy. White would have been an absolute mess for Mom to clean.
Not one, but THREE new farmgirl necklaces (and one bracelet), all of them handmade by two farmgirl sisters, Elaine Tolson, who makes our official sisterhood necklace, and Shery Jesperson, our Ranch Farmgirl Blogger. I’m in gift heaven.
Both of Shery’s worker bee necklaces (and bracelet) are unmistakably black and yellow honey bee themed amidst a field of colorful flowers. I didn’t take these beaded glass gifts off for …
