Modern Day Shield Maiden Leather Goods

New large drawstring bags available in the shop! While I do love the neutrals, that silver leather was begging to be made into a pouch. Idk, if nobody buys it, it might end up in my own kit. 🤔

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this bag before! It’s one of my absolute favorites, too! So here you go, a very not-new bag, just one I never thought to post I guess.

So… it’s the tail end of January and by now everybody has posted ad nauseam about their goals for the new year. If that’s not your thing, no hard feelings if you keep scrolling.

I used to be all about New Year’s resolutions and I was pretty good at keeping them, but then Life happened. 2020 happened.

I decided to give myself a lot of grace over the last three years, not knowing what could happen and all, but I think this year I’m ready to try having resolutions again. I’ve given it a lot of thought, including whether I even thought this would be worth it, and I think it will. Or I hope so anyway.

So I’ve chosen 3 areas my goals are going to focus on: business, personal, and horse related.

Business:
▪️Expand my business presence locally.
▪️Expand my business presence online.
▪️Have my best year yet at the Lavonia renaissance festival.

Personal:
▪️Pay more attention to my spending/spend more consciously.
▪️Read 1 fiction and/or 1 non-fiction book a month.
▪️Start a garden and commit to it.
▪️Start playing D&D.

Horse related:
▪️Get on a horse again. That’s it. That’s the goal.
▪️Idk, maybe take riding lessons if finances allow.

I might talk more about these in the coming weeks, especially as I start preparing for Lavonia in May, but at least for now they’re out into the world. Speaking it into existence and all that, right?🤷‍♀️

Bit of a late announcement but I’ll be at the Lavonia fall festival from 9am to 4pm today!! I left the armor at home today so if you’re in the market for purses, wallets, or small gifts like earrings and keychains, come find me! I’m booth 79 right in front of the Wildflower Salon.

I finally finished my bag!! I've been working on this bag for about a week and planning it off and on for the past 6 months. I've been wanting a bag like this for myself, specifically in green and brown, and I am so happy it's finally complete 😍😍

The process wasn't without its setbacks but I'm really proud of how well it came out and I can't wait to have this as my everyday carry bag. I'll take better pictures that aren't on my dining room table at 9:30pm here soon too!

All materials from
Green: Oxford Xcel kelly green
Brown: idk some random odd lot oil tan I bought that I really liked

ATTENTION REN FAIRE FRIENDS! 🎉

My first official shop update is LIVE! 🥳 I'm so excited and also relieved that this is finally done haha. What do I have available?

- Belt pouches
- Potions bottles
- Armor pieces
- Tote bags
- And more!

Pictured is one of my absolute favorite things from this shop drop: my "Starry Night" set of belt pouches! These beautiful pouches are made using a type of leather called saffiano cross hatch, typically found in designer bags, but I got my hands on a few square feet and couldn't resist turning out a couple belt pouches! They are a gorgeous blue color with a bright silvery shimmer and I tried to catch that in the photos and video (go see my reels!) but I just couldn't quite do it justice. Oh well, I guess you'll just have to order them to see for yourself. 😘
