Meredith Lockhart of Thistles West and Merezia is proud to announce that a partnership agreement has been reached for the new Couture Cowgirl line with Missy Unruh of www.silversteerboutique.com. We will be developing more t-shirts, jewelry and bags. A new website is being developed and will be coming soon (CoutureCowgirl.com). For now the products will be available on Thistles West and www.silversteerboutique.com. We are also developing a wholesale line which will be available in Denver this week.

I am very excited about all the possibilities of what we are planning to do with Couture Cowgirl. The association with Missy brings a whole new level of creativity and experience to the table. So, all you cowgirls, and city girls too, start getting story ideas together of what you think it is to be a Couture Cowgirl as there will be contests!

Here are a couple of photos from our recent photo shoot. I want to say a huge thank you to Cactus Creek in Westen, Mo for letting us use her shop for a backdrop. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Stetson Jeans and Carhart for the jeans(the gals love them). And to Corral Boots and De La Cav boots for sending boots to use with the t-shirts. The pretty models are Carla Feese, Courtenay DeHoff and Julia Othmer. Carla and Courtenay are both cowgirls and Julia is a singer songwriter from LA.

Hoping everybody had wonderful Holidays! I was busy at home, even with the blizzard, there was plenty of Holiday things to do. I want to wish everybody a prosperous New Year!

2010 looks to be a promising year with lots of new things coming on the horizon. Thistles West has many new items in process and will be up on the site soon. Couture Cowgirl is just in it’s beginning stages, but there are some VERY exciting things going on with it in the future. So….. keep checking back to see what’s coming as I will let the “cat” out of the bag sometime soon as to what all the new things are!
