We love a bit of alliteration.
Well it’s been a busy month in the world of leathersmithing. First, Hilary put the finishing touches to a new selection of magic carpet bucket bags featuring two very different kinds of rug. A gorgeously tactile weave – so soft you could fall asleep on it and fabulous kilims in muted hues of raspberry and caramel. That particular new year’s resolution is still going strong.
Then Hilary had a stall at the Witheridge Tennis Club coffee morning – lots of chatting and cake and only up the road which was lovely.
As for the clocks – check this out! A clock made into a bag for one of the Exeter red coat city guides (as modelled by Louisa who just happened to pop into the shop after school – thanks Louisa!)
And finally the carpentry – Nish has been busy shoring up the window at the front of the shop in preparation for major renovation work on the frame. It’s going to look fantastic!
