Do you start decorating for Christmas as soon as Halloween is over? It’s November 2 as I am typing this, and our trees, yes two of them, are up and decorated. Just a reminder that the Christmas season is here, or approaching quickly, depending on how you look at it. With that reminder is a note to say that if you plan on shopping small, please keep in mind that some of us need time to make or process your orders. I personally do almost all of my work as made-to-order, and typically require at least two to three weeks depending on the number of orders I am working.
This year I decided to sign up for a market. It was supposed to be November 1, but it got canceled. Heather managed to secure a pop-up spot at a local boutique here in Suffolk, Darla’s Downtown. That will be November 22, from noon to 2:00 PM. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you swing by, if nothing just to say hi. I will have a slew of minimalist wallets, small notebook covers, key chains, flag patches, and I’m working on some key chain chap stick holders. If there is something you’d like to see from a leather worker’s market booth or pop-up, please let me know what it is. Depending on how this pop-up goes, I may try to do some more in the future.
Personally, I transferred off of my ship and am going to shore duty! I am stoked for this opportunity to have more time with Heather and the girls. I also wrapped up my first season of assistant coaching Harper’s 8U softball team. That was an absolute blast.
