Busy week coming up full of website updates, kindergarten graduation and custom orders! Enjoying the last few rays of sunlight before the weekend is over... (and yes, this red beauty will be a part of said shop update) #handmade #purse #red #beadwork #vintagevibe #western #southweststyle #leatherwork #forsale #cowboylife #oneofakind
Ready for the weekend! Taking a much-needed mini vacation in the mountains before diving back into all of the custom orders waiting at home and listing some of my inventory on the website.... #southweststyle #leatherwork #forsale #vintagevibe #cowboylife #handmade #purse #tgif
I had so much fun doing an impromptu photo shoot with @turquoisecompany at the #westernheritageclassic last weekend. We wound up at the camp of a friendly chuck wagon crew competing in the cook off with a pile of purses and borrowed them and their wagon for some great pictures and plenty of laughs. #purse #handmade #western #embroidery #southweststyle #vintagevibe #clutch #forsale #leatherwork #desertlove

Debating which one we like best... What do you think?? Fringe or fur?? #westernskieshandmade #pendleton #tooledleather #southwestern #custom #leatherwork #purse #handmade #southweststyle #cowgirlstyle #mypendleton #wsh #fur #fringe
When you are both model and photographer, nobody is there to tell you that the purse was backwards for the whole shoot... 😬 Oh well, even the backside of this clutch looks great! Mixing it up with a little zebra print hide on this pretty. #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #fur #purse #clutch # zebra #cowgirlstyle #western #bold #tooledleather
Finishing up several clutches that will be for sale at the #westernheritageclassic... Hope to see you there! #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #fur #purse
Still one of my favorites... Only one of these teepee clutches will be available at the Western Heritage Classic and it won't last long - plan on shopping early to snag it! @tina_vines does such an amazing job embroidering the purse bodies her vintage chainstitch machine. She draws out each design and no two are ever the same. Come see the rest of her work in Abilene May 11-13... #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #clutch #collaboration #western #vintagestyle #embroidery #chainstitch #santafestyle #teepee
Own a wooly purse? Don't forget to brush it occasionally... With constant use, the fur can become tangled and dull. I use a fur cleaning/conditioning spray and a wide-toothed comb (both found online on various furrier websites) to carefully brush out the knots and bring back its natural shine. 1-2 times a year usually does the trick for me. While you're on a roll, you may want to rub a little oil on the leather purse top (especially if you live in the dry desert like me). Olive oil works in a pinch, but Skidmores leather cream is my favorite 😘 #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #fur #purse #clutch #care #cleaningtips #tibetanlamb
Custom leather on a Levi jacket... Perfect for these cool spring mornings! #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #custommade #levis #tooledleather #western #cowgirlstyle
