New batch complete!

Whew!  It took me a while to finish the last batch of purses.  But here they are! This one turned out  kinda wild for the cowgirl funk at heart! I will now start a batch of custom boots, so I won't be posting more for about 3 weeks.  I am making them as fast as possible looking forward to the holiday season!  If you want a special personal purse made for a gift, please let me know as soon as possible.  I hope you enjoy!  Drop me a line....

Fall, crisp apples and lots of boots...

It's a beautiful fall day, sunny, warm and wonderful crisp apples ready to be picked.  The boots are waiting patiently on the shelves in the shopping, but they are calling to me.  They are ready to collect beautiful and amazing memories to be admired and appreciated instead of collecting dust and cobwebs.   I've got about 15 purses at various stages of development, soon to become the partner to a cowgirl with some gumtion.   Can't wait!

Zipped UP!

Don't you love to say that?? Say it out loud!  Well, now you can zipper up all your cowgirl gear safely in any double size purse.  I will make a custom fit zippered pouch that fits neatly into any double you order to keep your stuff safe and prevent spillage if your purse gets tipped over!  It is available in small and medium and brown and black. The cost is only $25! Can't beat that!

Life changes and so do the boots!


THURSDAY, FEB. 12, 2009

Life changes... and so do the boots!

Just when I thought I’d hit the high road and I finally know the direction should go.... the weather changes.  Whirlwinds and big, fat snowflakes redirect my life - my perspective, and give me eyes to see a different, more rewarding path.  I recently worked on a particularly challenging project, thanks to Tim Kelly.  He sent me some old, rough boots to make into a purse for his sweet sister, Pam.  The leather was stiff, folded in funny ways, and oh, those zippers!  Big, thick, cranky zippers.  They were determined to do whatever they wanted.   

But I felt a deep inspiration to work with these old Military boots and help them to realize they now had a new, meaningful mission to carry out.  You see, Tim's dad was a Major in the Air Force and flew the B-58 Hustler (which only had one purpose - to fly twice the speed of sound and carry a Nuclear Bomb).  I understand the planes are as unpredictable as a wild mustang.  The boots had walked on foreign soil, flew countless missions and walked a path of determination and devotion to our country. 

I worked with the boots, stubborn and unforgiving; they did not like the idea of a "purse".  Ok then, I decided I'd call them a "bag"! So much more bold and brave.  They softened up a bit, but those stinkin' zippers were not so cooperative.  I tried a dozen ways to get them to compromise.  Finally, I convinced them to lie quietly, tucked inside the lining, promising them a wonderful adventure about to unfurl.  The dog tags of this uncompromising veteran hang on the laces, as is customary for men at war. The Air Force Major pins are proudly displayed on each side of the bag.   I know the legacy of this Air Force Major, and father, will never be forgotten. As Pam touches the leather, now a little softer, a new perspective and a new mission will carry on.

This is the place to show off your cowgirl attitude!  Anything to do with cowgirls, vintage or new, recycled or reclaimed, horses and girls.... what can be better???

It was my honor to design a purse for Hailey T. of   Illinois.  Her father shared her passion of horses and bought her first pony when she was 5 years old.  Her father and pony passed away, sadly, about the same time.  Hailey sent me her father's boots and her pony's hair.  I put together a forever treasure with those boots and pony hair that will bring wonderful memories for a lifetime.  Thank you Hailey for allowing me to be a part of your father's legacy.
