Friday Favorite

I am going a little off the beaten path with this Friday's Favorite. It is football!!!!! At Burns Saddlery we love football, from High School to College to the NFL.  This may not seem all that important and exciting until you factor in that 75% of our working population here at the store are women.  We love our teams. From our local high school, to the Runnin Utes and BYU cougars, to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts. 

We all have our favorites and can't wait for them to play again. Then we have such a great time talking about the games and analyzing them.  Football is by far our favorite sport!!!!

Survivor

Hopefully everyone saw last night's premier of Survivor: South Pacific.  We only got to see a glimpse of Rick's personality and humor, but we got to see what a hard worker and competitor he is with the immuity challenge.  He definately shined and did his part helping his tribe win immunity. 

He also was included in the 5 person alliance with Albert, Brandon, Coach and Sophie.  According to Coach, having a strong 5 will take you far and first day alliances are the strongest and it has been proven time & time again.  Sweet, this is right where we want our rancher from Utah to be :)

What to Wear Wednesday

If you live in Utah, it would have to be a jacket of course.  Fall has made an appearance and the mornings and evenings can be a bit chilly.  But no need to worry, Cruel Girl and Cinch have it covered.  These bonded jackets will keep you warm, the wind off of you and keep you looking great in the process.



The ladies jacket is a great color blocked charcoal grey with royal blue lining and black accents.  It features zip pockets as well as an MP3 pocket, adjustable and windproof cuffs and lining. It is finished with the Cruel Girl logo and custom zipper pull. 

The men's jacket is a black with red lining and accents. It also features the zip pockets and zippered MP3 pocket. The cuffs are adjustable as well.  It is topped off with the Cinch logo uniquely running vertically along the zipper.

Check out these great jackets as well as the other great outerwear we have on our website www.burnssaddlery.com.

Sometimes You've Got It and Sometimes You Don't

If I had it, I think I've lost it.  Sometimes I can be so organized and on the ball, I have my posts all planned out, written, scheduled to post and on top of everything. Then sometimes I can forget all together I am suppose to be responsible to post on a blog.  It occurs to me late at night and by that time, I am fresh out of ideas.  So obviously the past few weeks, I don't have it. 

It could be that as a mother of 2 freshmen, 1 in high school and 1 in college I have gotten a little preoccupied in trying to be super mom. Or it could be that it is getting close to the end of our fiscal year at work and that means time to evaluate the past year and prepare for next.  It might be that I need to invest in some Ginko Biloba to improve my memory as it seems not to be working as efficiently as it once did. Excuses aside, I need to find it and quick.

I guess all of that said, I am human and I am bound to drop a few of the balls that I am juggling.  I'll try to do a better job of keeping this one in the air from now on :)

A New Look

We have been waiting for this for a very long time and it is finally here, the new and improved Burns Cowboy Shop Website.  The girls in Park City have been working very hard to get this up and running.It is definitely worth the wait, and they have done a fantastic job. The new site is more interactive along with a cleaner and sharper look.  They will continue adding inventory so check it out and check back often  www.burnscowboyshop.com

The Interview Hat

Beginning next Wednesday, the entire staff of Burns Saddlery in addition to several of their customers will be glued to the television for the premier of Survivor: South Pacific.

We are so excited to see one of our funnest customers, Rick Nelson, battle it out to become the next Survivor.  It will be easy to spot Rick as he is wearing one of 2 hats from Burns Saddlery in the show. We  call this one the "interview hat" as he has been wearing it on the interviews and meet the cast spots that have been on.

In the show he will mostly be wearing a black 20X hat that we also set him up with. He will be easy to pick out ,in addition to the fact that he is just so likeable and we are all predicting that he will be a favorite (of course we are a little biased). 

I can't wait to see how things play out and recap the show every Thursday starting next week. So set your DVR's!!!

Boot of the Month

Since I am a little in to retro this week, this month's boot is reflecting that. This great 1960's inspired boot comes from Boulet. The vamp is a great oiled aztec taurus and the quarter has a fun hippie flower print. The boot also features a medium square toe and a stockman heel. This boot is a great "blast from the past" addition to any wardrobe.
