Purses galore...

December 10, 2024 Ren Cuming

Happy to say that the lack of purses in the shop has been rectified. I especially like the ones made using Badalassi oak tanned leathers. Gosh they seem to glow, and it's a joy to work with.

Napoli with rose Antico poppy accent. Just lovely.

Tinder, Pippin purse was also a favourite, again in Badalassi.

Next up to make is a small hill of belt pouches. Acorn, Withy and Warble. Look out for some very special versions of these over the coming week.

The first batch of shoes in a very long while are having their soling attached, and once lasted and final fussing completed will be listed. A newsletter will go out for those.

Final notes: it's been very strange using instagram after my break away. But using it as a stock announcement gallery only and not monitoring any direct messages on there seems a good compromise. Customers get to see images of new items (if they show amongst all the adverts...) and I can have less admin and more making time. Win win hopefully.

Making Meg

Golly, I can't even remember how long ago I made a Meg satchel - it's been an age! After a good rummage on my leather shelves I selected a 'hoarded' (did I just admit that?!) piece of rather lovely dark lavender.
Scribe journals

Just two of these little tactile beauties - made to last for decades of doodles. Find them in the Leather Goods collection.
Maisie sandals and cabbage patch

Mr Fairysteps in true self sufficiency spirit reinstated the long neglected vegetable garden. I don't know how he works so hard! Seen tending the potatoes here, but behind is the HUGE cage he built for the cabbages, mainly to keep cabbage white butterflies out as well as pigeons.
