I received this Ballard's catalog in the mail last month and thought this was the cutest idea on the front cover. So my little brain got to work and wham!
So I placed them on the stack of books that sit on the floor.
Added greenery, a strand of pearls, and an ornament in the top and voila, the boots are filled with Christmas cheer.

ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation. I comptemplate doing a version of this one too!
ReplyDeleteKim, this is great!! Love these boots!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME, I loved these boots, in fact when I announced the party this was one I did as well, and now I have them outside. I love those boots Kim, and so glad you had fun with this one. Thanks again for joining in.
ReplyDeleteLike yours better!
ReplyDeleteWell good grief, Kim - I like yours much better than Ballard's, no joke! They look great, love them on the stacked books - fantastic copycat idea, but Ballard might want to take notes from you :)

ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, Kim! So pretty and festive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Kim! I love yours even more!

Great use for the riding boots. I love the back drop you have in your photo, the boots are so fitting for your home. Lovely copy-cat.
ReplyDeleteYour's look so much better than those on the cover!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a cute idea. And so appropriate with the hunt/riding theme. :-) Don't knock them over when you go to sit on the sofa. Tell Bailey to be careful!
ReplyDeleteYour boots are much prettier. I love your interpretation. I have a pr of boots to give my niece for her birthday. Maybe she wouldn't mind getting them a little late!

I am so happy you showed this! I've been wanting to do something different on my front porch. My daughter has some rain boots with a peacock feather design on them. I think I'll use those boots, add greenery, and peacock feathers! Sounds like an upcoming post!

Great copycat, Kim. Yours even looks better than the original!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the riding boots filled with greens. Very nice, Kim.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post? I just saw it on Debbie's party. Your version looks amazing! They look great in your equestrian room too. That is such a neat idea to fill the boots with greenery like that.
ReplyDeleteLove your interpretation.
ReplyDeleteI see you all the time over at Deb's. But this is my first trip over to see your wonderful boots. Perfect. One word Perfect. Great job. Hope you don't mind if I follow here. A friend of Deb's is a friend of mine.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great "copy". It is even better since your boots were already on display.
ReplyDeleteYour riding boots are sooo much more cool! Lovely job.
ReplyDeleteKim, this copy cat is so cute, and of course I love it since we are horse people!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!!!
OMG!
ReplyDeleteYOU KNOW HOW MUCH I ADORE THIS!
I had boots at our front door last year, filled with greens and feathers and pinecones, but the added red and the pearl strand... my heavens this is spectacular!
