Roses roses roses
Roses come in three sizes now. Basic colors are always red, white, black, royal blue, purple, pink, and yellow. Other colors depend on what leather I find to create with. Small and large single stem blooms as well as the bud pin. Coming soon (or returning to our stock bins) are chokers- tiny roses on a leather band. Hoping to get those made for Norman Medieval Festival in just a few weeks!
Leather backpack
Soon to be a regular item in the shop. This was a special piece made for a fundraiser for a friend! Style may vary slightly but the backpack is 12″ high and 12″ wide with a 4″ gusset. Double pockets in front, adjustable shoulder straps, and a drawstring main pocket.
Mid Winter Scottish Irish Festival
Well we completed our second year at the Festival. While sales were not great, we saw lots of old friends and made some new ones. Lots of good music and food. Next up on our schedule is the Norman Medieval Faire in Norman, OK. Same space but bigger than last year! http://www.medievalfair.org/index.html
Upcoming shows
This weekend, February 15-17, Emporer’s Needle is once again sharing space with Leatherheads at the 21st Mid-Winter Scottish-Irish Musical Festival in King of Prussia, Pa. 27 hours of non-stop music and wonderful vendors showcasing all things Celtic.
The Duo of Woo
I was asked two years ago to create one of kind leather jerkins for this great duo that truly expressed their personalities. On the left, it was the studly Chris so he got a jerkin well studded with woven leather pieces. On the right, it was the ever loud and impressive Matt who got a jerkin with flashes of blue suede and sparklies. It was a pleasure to work with them and I love seeing them wear the pieces proudly.

An assortment of goods
It’s little bit of everything to start this off. A collection of pouches, bracers, and refurbished journals.
