Greetings to all our friends and customers!

This newsletter will be my last for awhile. My webmaster has retired and this is the last time I will upgrade the site. Yes, I may be able to manage the site but it is definitely not my forte! And it takes me days!! My time is better spent in the shop creating wonderful fur and leather garments. 

Dan and I are talking about our retirement years! We are doing just a few shows and the Alaska State Fair. I will keep creating , taking custom orders and letting the website do its thing well into my 70’s, I hope. 

We still love to go to the Moose Pass Summer Solstice festival the 3rd weekend of June. It is the start of summer and camping fun. I have been a vendor there for over 20 years. Soldotna Wednesday Market will be a big maybe. It is close by, well attended and fun, just a lot of work to get set up for a day.  We have folks who come out to the home shop for shopping and the complete “where we make it”experience. Then we have the State Fair which is a 3 week runner, and we are tired when we get back home! A few holiday shows, Wasilla, the 1st full weekend of November, and my longest attended show, Arts and Craft festival the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) and Saturday at the Kenai High School.  I started the show in 1989 and have only missed a few years. It will be the last one I give up. It is the only local show we do. If we have the inventory we head off to Utqiagvik for a quick December weekend show. They are always so happy that we make the journey to their town. 

If you would like to get more information, up to date pricing, or place an order, please contact me directly, via text, email or a good ole phone call. What is on the website is just a good idea of what we have in stock. Mukluks have been custom order for years now. (I never seem to catch up) and if you would like to see what we have in the shop, I can take you on a video or FaceTime tour. We always have purses and little bags among our many other popular items. 

Our work days are a bit shorter now. We must take care of our older selves. We do enjoy other activities and plan on getting out more for hiking and fishing. The plan is to see the business into “retirement” and make it a paying hobby. 

Thank you always for being good and loyal customers.We will be able to sew what you need for the years to come. When you buy from us, you get an outstanding product hand made in the USA!
