new in Etsy shop

This great vintage tooled leather handbag has a story.  I found it at a flea market and it was missing the shoulder strap.  Since I work with leather making re-purposed leather cuffs, earrings and belts, I knew I could add a belt to make a great strap.  So I dug through my leather stash and found the perfect old belt that more or less would match the style of the bag.  I riveted the belt to the brass strap holders and added another color of leather for accent.  I think it turned out really well and whoever gets this purse will have something very unique and cool.

end of 2013

Great way to end the year with two sales.  This green Duraglas bottle on its way to Alaska and this beautiful silver chainmaille purse on its way to Hong Kong.  Almost couldn't part with it.


Hopefully everyone will be safe tonight and if you party make sure you have the designated driver.  

Happy New Years Eve!

some new listings to my Etsy shop

My husband found these great vintage motorcycle goggles! Love them!  I found this cute little green Duraglas bottle.  These were sometimes used as prescription bottles, but this one was missing the lid.  I use these for vases, pen holders or just as display on a window sill so the sun shines through the glass.
