Awhile ago Chris, from I'm Not Old, I'm Vintage bought cowboy Bill on Etsy.
She recently contacted me and asked me if I could make a Billie to go with Bill. I imagine that life on the prairie was lonely for poor Bill. Lonely nights on the range, coyotes howling in the distance. Bill longed for a little female companionship.
I told Chris that I was sure a Billie could be made for Bill. I really like doing custom orders like this...Billie is just as cute as can be.
I think she is ready to give Bill that flirty look.
Bill and Billie.... a happy cowboy couple riding off into the sunset.
Waaal, now, ole Cowboy Bill is just a-itching fer Billie to make her big appearance, so we'll be watchin' fer the Pony Express and hopin' his trusty steed don't throw a shoe or git attacked by no Injuns. C'mon ya lil mail order bride, you. Thanks so much Laurie!!!!!

Actually cowboy Bill met and fell in love with a girl named Kari! Hahaha, I swear your cowboy Bill looks like my Bill and he happens to have been raised in a teeny tiny town in Wyoming which is definitely on the range. Actually one of our first dates was out on South Pass (old mining town) we looked over while talking and what was eerily watching us? Yep a coyote. So he best not be drooling over Billie, hmmpphh!:)

Bill and Billie are adorable, of course, but what is with your "posse"? ... they must all be feelin' their oats. All the comments were entertaining tonight. Thanks for the laughs, you-all.

Honestly Ethel, you are too much! Billie is fantastic -- a little bow-legged cowgirl...right down to her 10-gallon hat. That expression of hers is priceless.

Laurie, It seems I can only find exactly the same words to express my admiration of your work each time I visit, and they seem much too inadequate. Holy Yippie Kia Get Along Little Doggies Is This Ever Cute! (much better!) Love, love, love to visit your blog! E

She looks feisty. But sweet. They don't make 'em like that any more (but you do).
