I served a salad in clear glass bowls, which I put in “campfire skillets”, and the salad dressing was in the little boot jiggers at each place setting.
Dried wheat in a cowboy canteen was the centerpiece. 
Vintage cowboy toys decorated a side table. Yep, that’s the cowboy wannabe when he was a little bitty cowpoke.
While the cowboy ripped into some birthday gifts, I reset the table for dessert. Of course, as soon as I had the table ready, everyone rushed over to get cake and ice cream. So…… I wasn’t able to take photos of the table. The following day (after I had removed a leaf from the table and redecorated the side table with Halloween instead of cowboy, I recreated the dessert table for a photo session.
The centerpiece for the dessert table was these cute candy kabobs that Sarah at Hyacinths for The Soul sent me. (Obviously, Sarah knew my sweetheart would be getting another cowboy table soon.) I think the grands didn’t realize they were edible, so I was able to re-wrap them and save them until the next night, when the grands came trick-or-treating. Sarah, I loved having these for a great centerpiece, and my grands loved getting them in their trick-or-treat buckets. Thank you for all of the fun these darling kabobs provided at my house!

I love this cowboy table! You are so clever the way you layered the cast iron skillet with the plates. And that tablecloth is wonderful! Cute little boy pic of your cowboy too.
You know I love the cowboy stuff being a cowgirl wannabe myself. I don't know why I was fascinated with cowgirl stuff, as I wasn't the outdoorsy type at all. I still have my toy guns, though. Enjoyed this tablescape - they are always great. Sally
Laurie, you are just too clever. Hope your favorite cowboy has many more.
What a cute table setting - you have so many great ideas!! A delayed "Happy Birthday' to your husband.

Giddy up and Yahoo! I love your cowboy theme and all your accessories! Fabulous.
Oh, Laurie! How adorable is this! You knocked yourself out on this one, girl! Love it. I need to go back and ogle it some more! Your husband must have been thrilled with all the effort you put into this as it is cute, cute, cute! And masculine, too. So for him it would be fun, fun, fun!

What I love about your tables is that they are always so creative! My favorite two parts of this one would be those cute little boot jiggers and the frying pans holding the salad plates. Now, that's just plain FUN. Those scewers are very cool, too.

Cute as ever and that tablecloth is WONDERFUL. Is it vintage or new? By the way, you are not too late for the give-away - it goes through this weekend. I'm glad you mentioned that - I just added dates to the blog so people now know! -diane
Laurie, I was hopeful that you would spotlight this table this week. You are amazing! Love the idea of using the camp skillets under the salad bowls and the jigger for the salad dressing. You certainly know how to set a clever table for your cowboy. Happy Birthday to him!

Laurie, this is perfect! What a fantastic table, I love everything about it. The skillets, the linens, I LOVE this. Those candy kabobs are adorable, Sarah is the sweetest isn't she? The vintage toys are amazing, the Hop-a-Long Cassidy guitar in particular. Looks like your favorite cowboy had a spectacular birthday! Kat
How perfectly adorable! Makes me wish my DH was a cowboy wannabe, but he's a woodworker. I'm thinking hammers, nails, saws, oh my! You did such a cute job.
Carol
I know that your cowboy just loved this table -- you always make every family member feel like royalty on their birthday! This leaves me humming, "Happy Trails to you...."
Wow Laurie! So many details on these great tables! Where did you get the canteen in the centerpiece? My CW reenactor husband would be jealous!
Laurie, That was one of the best and most fun theme table settings ever! I loved all things cowboy...so festive.
Slam dunk, Laurie!!!! The use of the cast iron skillets is great!!! That is one of the most unique ideas I've seen! REALLY terrific table! I'm sure your "cowboy wannabe" husband appreciates all the thought you put into it! :-)
What a sweet tribute to your husband! I can tell you had great fun setting this oh-so-perfect table for him. Love the cast-iron skillets -- we have several of the small ones, but I've never thought of using them in a tablescape! I always get great ideas from you, Laurie!
This is just precious! Your husband is a lucky man!

I was smiling ear to ear !!
Wow, Laurie you are amazing and so darn creative. Happy Birthday to your cowboy husband. How special he must be to have a table setting just for him!!!!
I still want to know, where do you store all these dishes you have?
* Dearest Laurie~
This is about T*H*E most DELIGHTFUL TABLE SETTING for a "special cowpoke"!!! (I ADORE that tablecloth~ could use one here in the west/desert~ care to tell me where you found it, "perrrrty pleeeease"? It's FUN!) And the dishes... and the skillets... I mean, TOOOOO PRECIOUS!!!!! It's such a SPECIAL TABLE, laden with fabulous creativity !!! SINCERE KUDOS, KIDDO!
It's been a long time~ too long~ since I stopped by and my, you HAVE been b*u*s*y! (I'll be back-reading for DAYS, not HOURS! And how NICE for ME!)...
I so appreciate your incredible support (& sweet sidenotes here, re my health), & want to SINCERELY THANK YOU for your thoughtfulness n' caring. As you know, since we spoke (that was SUCH FUN!), I am doing REALLY WELL these days, altho I still cannot really lift or carry much of anything other than my water bottle (not even any of my fave purses (!!!)... Yep, Jim sez they're so HEAVY they're not only bad for my BACK, but LETHAL WEAPONS to boot!)... All in all, I'm so grateful to "be where I am" in recovery... it's been a long haul, but thanks to thoughtful angels like you, it has been made much more bearable!
Warmest hugs & a gazillion thanks,
Linda in AZ *
