Got off the plane in San Diego and turn on the radio and the first thing I hear is Dolly has passed away age 80. Devastating way to start a vacation. Glad I was with my boo taken in San Diego, California by @adoremire

So excited to be back in the studio making stuff again. Wanted to do a fun little drop of items for my birthday (May 15th) and show you some of the things I have been working on all of which are hitting the floor this morning.

Times are tough and it’s been hard for me to get excited for things when the world feels so bleak, let alone be creative. I have pushed myself so hard for the last six months. From finding out we had to move, to packing up an entire store and then renovating a new space that needed a lot of work. I feel like I have pushed through things that I probably should have thrown in the towel for.

I don’t think people talk honestly enough about what it’s truly like owning a small business and all that it takes from you. How hard it is to run a business when you don’t know how to run a business. Months without paychecks. Pouring your entire self into every part; all my time, money, and energy into something that never truly turns off.

This move forced a hard reset. It helped me realize what truly matters to me as a business owner. One of those things is returning to my roots of leather work, it’s the reason I opened a business in the first place. I am maker.

During the chaos of this move, notebooks were my lifeline. I carried them everywhere. I used them to sketch out our new store shelves, track vendors, write grocery lists, and brain-dump every overwhelming thought. When you are learning as you go, notebooks keep you sane. They are the physical proof of your progress. Now, I’ve made a home for yours to live together.

Handcrafted from raw materials to keep your ideas, chaos, and progress organized in one place.
* Premium, durable leather and cowhide
* Industrial silver rivets and heavy-duty grommets
* Stud detailing
* Flexible elastic to hold multiple notebooks
* Inside pockets
Thank you for sticking with me through the moves, the struggles, and the resets. I am so proud of these pieces, and I can’t wait to share them with you for my birthday.
Expect to see more handmade stuff from me!

Working my way through my sketch book making all the things I have been dreaming about including this phone case. Has anyone else been feeling extra creative lately?! I feel like everything is happening but it’s important to be present and actually enjoy the parts of life worth living. by @adoremire

Happy New Years 🥳👻 I got the keys for market and we are all moved into our new spot! Here are some fun photos from this last week. Huge shout out to everyone who came and helped make this move happen. It was honestly a lot less stressful than I thought because of all of you. From the bottom of my heart thank y’all for showing up for me. I have a hard time asking for help and you guys came through physically and emotionally. I got tons of DM’s from people offering to help, I apologize if I didn’t respond, the sheer volume was was overwhelming. 2026 better watch out cause we are moving on up. So thankful we get to stay on Belmont 💛

Special Thanks to @rickslick83 for putting in long days and truly going above and beyond for me.

Thank you to
