For my farming and ranching people….we’ve all been there; one of those days we’re standing in mud up to our knees wondering, “Why am I doing this, again?” The entry way of my house smells like a feed lot, the kids have manure all over their rubber boots that they have to wear to school the next day, every evening during chores someone falls in the mud & needs an emergency rescue (reality check.. its the same kid over & over again)!

I took a very special custom project on this year from a incredible lady who has waited 40 years for it to come along! Connie and her husband eloped in 1972; John gave Connie a simple gold band for their secret wedding & she proudly wore it every day since. Read more…
I started work on this belt this summer & I had no idea what a job it was going to be! I had been wanting to build one for myself for years & just hadn’t gotten around to it. I couldn’t bring myself to buy one, it just seemed wrong when I could do it myself. So this is how it started: Read more…

They carry everything from paintings to sculpture and jewelry to books. The attention to detail is amazing. The selection and diversity will have you coming back for more.
I know its been a while & I won’t even bore you with all the drama.
I do want to tell you about a great group that I have had the privilege to be involved with for a number of years. The Women of the Wagons!! There has been an informal group of “wagon wives” for a number of years, but in recent years a lovely lady, Suzanne Linklater got us girls organized to create a charity event.
Hey all,
I’m sure most of you know my fantastic husband is a former outrider with the World Professional Chuckwagon Association. He did it for 17 years, it is how we met & was a most wonderful time in our lives. I could have a whole other blog just about how much I love my Wagon Family, but I digress.
