merchant leather

1125leathersmMerry Christmas to ME!One of the amazing guys I work with on all the Scotch shoots also runs a side business making hand-made leather goods. He carefully chooses the hides, designs all the pieces, and hand-stitches it all. And besides that, he works full time. And he's a dad with two kids -- one an infant. I seriously have no idea where he finds the time or energy, but color me impressed.Dan (that's his name), mostly makes purses and satchels and fantastic work bags. But I thought maybe he could make me a camera strap, so I pitched it to him a little while ago. You guys! It's soooooo beautiful! I am completely in love. The leather is so soft and light and flexible, and it's just what I needed.If you'd like to buy something fabulous for you or a loved one, you should check out his online shop here.One more thing: I'm taking Thanksgiving off from blogging. My parents are coming to visit, and I want to give them my full attention. So you'll get a nice, fat post on Monday, but until then I suggest you stay off the computer and snuggle with the ones you love (whether that be animals or people).And speaking of that, I loved this.Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
