Summer 2022

August 6, 2022 Ren Cuming

Well my dears.

What weather. Home has had little to no rain for months and everything is tinder dry and much is dead or dying. Its rather grim to be honest. Our spring is all but gone too so water has been first priority for Mr F.

I never thought I would long so much to hear the sound of proper raindrops.

Heaven knows what the cows are picking at because the grass is now crunchy underfoot, its like walking on cornflakes.

In the workshop its cool and shady with the blinds closed which is a blessing. I am super busy booting for England! The plan is to clear all shoe orders first and then concentrate on the taller boots one pair at a time. Many are intricate and need individual attention. It's going to be fun sharing those with you.

For today though, its a quiet day for me.

Take care, Ren x

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.
Retired styles...

So off I went with pen and paper and had a jolly good think and made a list, then crossed lots off, till it was all whittled down to a few.
