Summer Time


I love this melon, peachy leather. I only had a very small amount and really wanted to create something that shouts Summer Is Here!!!!! It's like a slice of sweet cantaloupe. I'm sad that I could only make one but it's a true one of a kind and will be up for grabs on my Etsy Shop: www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Fold Over Mudcloth

I really have a thing for mudcloth this year, I have purchased a few pieces and each one is created so uniquely. I love that it tells a story in African and give us such rich material to work with. I wanted to create a simple, clean clutch that's easy to carry and no fuss. This flat clutch bag was handmade using recycled black leather for the trimming. It's minimal and sleek, throw your goodies in and go! You can pick these up from my Etsy Shop at

Sew It Is

Just got this lovely tote in the mail the other day, created by Yokoo who has an amazing shop at www.yokoo.us When she first posted the picture of her new line of tote bags I knew I had to have one. I can't wait to carry this bag around everyday, currently I have it stuffed with recycled leather and it's already in good use! Check out her shop! Happy sewing!

Chocolate Peanut Butter

So, this lovely tote was once a couch. I love to work with recycled leather, lay out the pieces on the floor and let my imagination go to work. The leather I have is so limited and I am unable to mass produce but I think I kind of like it that way. Thankfully I had enough of this peanut butter leather laying around and was able to make the straps. I am in love with the chocolatey brown leather and the richness of it. You can find this one of a kind tote on my Etsy shop at
