Craftspeople in Their Own Words
Our copy of this wonderful book, written by our peers, under the editorial guidance of David Bacharach, Valerie Hector, Ken Girardini and Susan Levi-Goerlich, arrived this weekend. A very ambitious project by all involved to document some of our stories and history of this modern Craft movement, is beautifully put together. All profits from the sale of the book will benefit CERF+, an invaluable safety net for artisans.
And if you participate in this movement as a collector, you have kept us going, and this is part of your story too! Pick up a copy.
Thank-you all!
History is being written every moment, and this week we bring our new work to ACC Baltimore, we are in Booth 1601
Here we are, visually. We did not submit a story, this time.

Baltimore Wrap Up
Kicked off 2016 with a bang, and want to thank all, new clients and old, that found us among 600+ great artist/makers to chose from at
ACC Baltimore.…..we hope you love your purchases for many years to come!
We began our set up with a proper lunch at Faidley’s, to give us strength and put us in that Baltimore mood!
Sharing some pics of the fun and serious fashion in the 400 aisle, the aisle for style!
See you next year!

All Time Fave
I post a lot of pics of our peplam style jacket
She is so cute, so sexy, so unlike your notion of what a shearling is……… so unbulky!
And she is loved and purchased by many.
But our most popular and best selling style is one that doesn’t photograph with as much pizazz, so I tend not to post as many shots of it.
We call it our Swing Coat, albeit it is a modified version of a swing.
It is so comfortable, fits over anything, comfort of a jacket, but functions like a coat, and with the fine lambskin edging and tailoring, a class act that will take you anywhere.
Here is one of the more subdued versions, bright colors and other details in stock as well.

Baltimore Wrap
ACC Baltimore is a big show.
Over the years we have many repeat customers who come thru, and it is always fun for them to dress the part, wearing some of their favorite acquisitions as they browse
for the latest item that makes their heart pound. We have been lucky to see & hear of our work passing thru, and it does not go unnoticed!
This year we had two come by wearing one of a kind pieces from our days of quilting Leather.
Both loved and well worn, no one could remember if it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago? And still enjoying them!
Do you have a “Vintage” piece of ours?
Send a pic, or wear it to the next show, and I will take one!
John wore a vest he commissioned, and Melissa had on a vest and a jacket! Thanks for stopping by!

Blue is for Baltimore
Winter is…………………………….shoveling snow
dealing with things like the polar vortex,
bundling up, scarves, boots, double hat days…….
slush slush slush
feeling frumpy most of the time
Need a refresher?

Happy New Year!
This picture I took at the Post Office on 34th St. saturday has nothing to do with anything but COLD, and that is our inspiration.
I love the cold (when I am dressed for it)
2˚ saturday, 57˚ today
Shockingly cold forecast for tonight.
If you didn’t pop for that shearling at a show this fall, we are working on new designs and colors to kick off the season at ACC Baltimore
Can’t wait till then?

Materials that Inspire
Back from the Baltimore show late sunday nite.
Requests for leather jackets.
Monday unpack.
Tuesday into the city to the Trend leather show.
Grain, quality, thickness or thinnest, finish, uniformity, color.
So much to inspect.
Great to meet the Europeans from their wonderful tanneries.
