Ive gone very quiet on here and thats because I’m on holiday in sunny Rhodes to boost my depleted vitamin D tank.
It’s a lovely break for my hands but now I have a pinched nerve in my hip. Joyous!
I’m back on Monday ready to start again with Commissions Tuesday.
I only have wifi when I’m in the hotel building so I will answer all messages and enquiries when I can.
I do have a few orders to post out on my return which I just ran out of time to do -it was a bit down to the wire!
Be back soon ……,

So I have a bit of a special saddlebag available to Auction.

This was made from a saddle purchased from William Fox-Pitt.

History in your hand!

This bag wasn’t going to be for sale but I’ve decided since I’m no longer doing shows ( where I was going to display it) it may as well be cherished now.

This special bag will come with the handle shown and an across body strap.

Bidding starts at £395

Bidding will run until next Sunday at 8pm.
Postage will be Royal Mail Special delivery which will be insured

Another Commission complete!
This saddle bag is a large version of the Branston and has been hand stitched in Royal blue waxed thread.
It comes complete with a beautiful browband handle and an across body strap, both strap and handle are removable so it is very adaptable.
This bag has a magnetic closure behind the buckle so it’s easy to use but still very stylish.

I’ve not been having a good week or 10 days ish and it’s all because of this little chap, he’s been so ill I really thought yesterday we were going to have to let him go but today miraculously he’s back nearly as good as new, I’m hoping this isn’t the rally that sometimes happens before the final decline but he’s looking too good.
He’s not come out of it brand new, he’s lost a huge amount of weight and he’s wobblier than before with a bit of a head tilt- but the spark is back, he’s again become my shadow rather than wanting to be on his own.
I really don’t know what I will be without him.
But onwards and I can now focus on saddlebag commissions with my full attention.
Please if you’re awaiting a response from me please message me again to prompt me I’ve really been trying to keep up with all the enquiries but with Tank as a huge distraction it’s quite possible I’ve let a few enquiries slip through the net.
Thanks for your patience.

Out of the ashes new life is born. The skip saddle bag is complete and like a Phoenix it rises ready to start a new life!
And what a beauty it’s turned out to be!
This famous or infamous saddlebag is available to purchase at £425.
This is the larger size of the Daisy design.
And yes it’s an AI photo but the bag is as it is.

Well what a lot of attention my skip pic has had - who knew a little Ai generated pic would reach this far!
It’s certainly spread the word about what I can do with saddles.
It’s the third or fourth time I’ve gone viral now and it’s always a surprise when it happens.
Hopefully some saddles have been carried back inside from the skip and people can rethink about putting fabulous leather that would take a huge amount of time to break down in the bin.
I’m giving options to new people , people who don’t follow my page to reuse it 🤭😘

Thank you so much for all the offers of saddles, it’s really kind of you all. I’m more than happy to pay for postage.
They will then be used to become a handbag rather than being added to landfill.
No box required to send just a few bin bags will suffice as we don’t have to worry about the tree.
Recycling at its best and so appreciated x

To some this saddle is a waste of space to some it’s only fit for the skip… but to me it’s pure gold.
The mottled neglected patina to me is beauty- it’s a life lived!
Now watch this space to see what it becomes…
My job is to turn much loved saddles that carry so many special memories into handbags so those memories can be carried right by your side.
Each saddlebag is carefully made totally by hand using only traditional tools and methods with care and attention to detail.
This post was to highlight the options available to my followers- to show that saddles don’t have to be thrown away.
Please message me for details of the process.
Thank you
Yes photo is AI generated to put this point across and it’s been seen by over 175 thousand people. If it saves 3 saddles from a skip and for the owner to recycle that saddle leather it’s done a good job.
