Blah brown boots all clean and sanitised

The finished product. Pretty blue stitching

The left is painted , the right is original ( as you look at the photo)

We are going to a country  music concert in Las Vegas and I just LOVE a theme. I will be there in my cowboy hat, boots and a Tshirt blinged out with the bands name on it ( or something sillier like ‘tequila makes her clothes fall off’ ) That’s the name of a song,not what happened to ‘my friend’ when she gets inebriated. 😜 but what happens in Vegas…

I looked online and cowboy boots are pricey , and I’ll only wear them once. Anyhow,  I didnt have the afore mentioned boots , that is until a trip to one of my favorite thrift stores today. There they were up high on a shelf, couldn’t be my size , could they? They fit beautifully, YEEHAW! $10 , even better. Sold to the Scottish cowgirl

Problem was they were blah brown  I wanted the pretty ones with turquoise stitching I saw online ($100 plus shipping)

My craftiness and frugal side kicked in and two minutes later, turquoise paint and a paintbrush were in hand and off I went!

I am very pleased with the effect and as we say in Scotland ‘ a blind man running past wouldn’t know the difference ‘

I just hope it doesn’t rain and I’m left with blah brown boots again in a turquoise paint puddle!
