Back In The Saddle...

I am sad to say, blogging has been relegated to the back burner of late as I have focused my attention on the Etsy build, shooting and editing photos of pups in coats, the holidays, family, life...

I'm feeling pretty rusty so I'll start out with something simple - like one of the coats I uploaded on the Etsy store today.  I needed a snap of a pup in the coat and it happens to be Fiona's size.  Needless to say, she was in rare form.  You'll see what I mean...

I love this coat.  I named it Buckaroo.  It's a heavy woolen Navajo style horse blanket with machine embroidered belt and tab.  The silk crepe binding is a vintage Lanvin necktie.  I picked up those buttons at an Eagles rummage sale in a little community just south of the Island I live on.  I was told they were donated to the rummage sale by a local Antiques dealer.  The coat really came together nicely.

  

The belt loops and the trim down the spine are woven Japanese braid I foraged at the Alameda Flea Market. The wee cowboy hat button was a treasure passed on to me by a dear friend.

 

That was a lot easier than I thought it would be...
