Fall Fashion and back to school

Good Morning! We are quickly going into the Fall season and of course back to school has already began. So today I thought I would share a few fun items for everyone from our store that would make either an awesome gift for your friend or family member or something for yourself that you might need today. One of our popular handmade boho handbags that works great for a light weight phone bag is this brown leather crossbody bag. 

Brown Leather Handbag

This brown leather purse measures 8.5 inches tall x 7.5 inches wide and has a four point braided strap and an antler tip closure. We are now adding many different colors to our handmade handbags . See the chart at the bottom of the page.

This is a great bag for a young women going back to school or anyone who would like to carry less items when out on the town.

<><><><>

Another one of our favorites that can be made in some real beautiful different colors is this 10 inch tote. This is the style of bag that I use everyday. I love it because it is so easy to get in and out of. We also add an antler toggle at the top to keep your items secure. I have carried mine for many years now. Of course I am a beader so I love the added effects of my beadwork.

Leather tote

This leather tote measures 10 inches tall x 10 inches wide by 2.75 inches deep. It has a comfortable flat strap that can be made in any length you like. This leather tote also features an antler toggle closure.  We love creating a new bag that is custom designed just for you that you will enjoy for a life time.

<><><><>

This is my bag / tote on me. I love rainbows and turtles with a little native rustic style. I also love purple and tie dyes. So for fun I thought I'd show you a pic of me in our garden with my turtle bag. My bag is at least 10 years old so it is what I like to call "antiqued."

Not everyone is interested in a tote so for those of you who love  having a lid on your bag we have some really cool boho gypsy style bags that can be plain, beaded, or fringed.

We also have man bags, organizer bags, possible bags and messenger bags.

We custom design all our work and create one of a kind bags and purses all the time.

Here is the color chart I was telling you about that we are now offering.

So all you need to do is contact us from any bag in our store or leave us a note at check out with the color you would like your new leather handbag to be and we will create it for you with just the right size and length of strap you need.

The simple life

Good day!  Life as we all know can really be complicated. We call it white water around my home , when things go in that direction. Of course it never lasts forever just like the river the white water is always changing. So when you hit white water rest assured it will go back to calm waters. But don't get to attached to that either because life is change. You can't really stop change. If you resist change well you are in for a real struggle. But if you accept change you will be able to relax into it. 

Through those rocking  times when the boat is going up and down , from side to side and crashing around, breath.

Write in your Gratitude art journal , or start one. Give thanks for the precious life you have and always remember that this to shall pass.

Take a step back , relax into the present moment. Listen to the sounds around you, the birds or whatever is there. Breath.

Let go!

Honestly , this is a reminder to me!

There is always a rainbow at the end of a storm!

Thanks you Great Spirit! 

Much love and light to my fellow human beings!

Beads and leather

It's Sunday morning and I have been up since 6:00 AM . In Arizona,  this time of year you need to get up early and do your outside fun. We just went into summertime heat. So this morning Rosie (my furbaby) and I got up and went for a walk. Then we came back and did a little weed pulling in the garden. To all our fans , friends and customers we have some tobacco leather back in our stores. It is that beautiful  deep color of rust that we all love. It looks like this.

This is one of our native flute bags. I added a beaded hummingbird on this one. It also has a shoulder strap so when you go for a hike , go to the beach or whatever it is, you can safely take your flute with you. This flute bag also has a double drawstring for a closure and long double cut fringe off the bottom of the bag.

You can find this bag here.

Flute bag 

If you need more details about this bag just click on the above link and it will take you to the bag.

This is a very beautiful, functional way to carry your beautiful flute. 

We make these bags custom to fit your flute. You can also get whatever beadwork you would like on the bag. I do many other beadwork designs.

I love beading. I have been beading for around 30 years now. When I first started beading I started making earrings. Oh what fun! All the colors of beads and I had such a passion to learn all the new stitches and put it all together. Then when I discovered how beautiful beads looks on leather well that was it. 

I always liked sewing but I have always been attracted to sewing by hand. So most all our bags are hand sewn. We do some small medicine bags with our singer sewing machine. 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

You can find more of our flute bags, pipe bags , and cedar bags here.
