Scenes from an Italian restaurant...western style


Every once in a while, you have to step out of the box in your dinner party decorating.  Last summer, I did a 'Spaghetti Western' themed wine dinner.  I wanted something relatively easy to dress for, being that summer in Texas means 197 degree temperatures.  A western theme allowed guests to wear anything they wanted, as long as it went with the theme...somewhat.


I made centerpieces out of old liquor bottles and made 'old-timey' labels for them and filled them with wheat stalks. 


I used bandanas from the craft store, and folded red napkins to resemble hankerchiefs.  Some handmade Sheriff's badges, tin can candles and mustaches-on-a-stick for everyone rounded out the decor. 


Yee-haw!
