Handmade custom journal request [SOLD]. This one is gorgeous. Rather than hand sewing, we machine stitched this journal. We used an Italian leather that turned out beautiful. I wanted to keep it for myself!

Testing out leather stamping designs using custom

Testing out leather stamping designs using custom brass stamps (Faith Hope Love) from @leatherstampmaker onto genuine leather coasters that we cut using custom dies. Also, started testing out custom stamps using our Epilog Fusion Edge 24 laser engraver and Delrin plastic. In this case (deer/mountains) was laser engraved onto Delrin and then hand stamped onto a test piece of leather using the Mighty Wonder 4 ton-clicker press. Both the brass stamp and Delrin stamp used the Mighty Wonder press. Both the custom brass stamps and Delrin acetal plastic will help us create more custom designs for our leather accessories/décor.

Special Customer Request: Personalized, traditiona

Special Customer Request: Personalized, traditional harness leather journal cover, handmade and handsewn (Ritza Tiger Thread). Also, featuring our Faith Hope Love Journal in the same design. Instead of hot stamping the last name on first journal, we did a cold stamp using the Mighty Wonder (liked how it looked better). The Leuchtturm1917 A5 Medium notebooks fit this leather journal cover. New leather product line coming new to our website, including the handmade journals (different styles). All made inhouse by @portalofhope (faith-based gifts/decor/accessories, also with embroidery and laser engraving). Our other sister-owned company is @beautifullinens (fine linens from around the world/embroidery/laser engraving).

Natural, beautiful towels. The detail of the tree and wreath is impeccable and so realistic. We embroidered these designs on @arteitalicacrownlinen Provence natural flax linen designs, which is an incredibly soft towel. The Winter Wreath with Berries and Repotted Trees are stunning embroidery designs by @soniashowalterembroidery . All embroidery on finished products are done inhouse.
