My husband and I decided that we wanted new furniture for our den. At the time, my husband was suffering from major allergies and during our remodeling of our home, we rid ourselves of almost all textiles. The only fibers left were some very sheer window coverings that could be washed once a week and our bed linen was in layers so that it could be washed the same way. No thick comforters or thi...

A good sturdy bag for my Harley road trips, that's what I needed.  Not a backpack or some Hells Angles wanabe studded and straped-on look. A place I could get to my gas keys, without getting off my bike at the pump. Something that wasn't going to shred itself into a flogger as soon as we hit crusing speed. Well I found VVgear.com and their "Dyna" custom leather tailbags.M...

I was using an older heavy duty leather dog collar for my dog and it had to be replaced. I was dreading this day as the collars generally sold today are not made well enough for a large dog, in my opinion. While a tiny to small puppy or dog, may do well enough with a fabric and Velcro or fabric and plastic collar, I feel that it is irresponsible to expect those types of collars to hold up in un...

Last year I purchased a new sofa from La-z-boy, the model I chose was the Clarkston in light tan. The sofa was a bit pricey but because it is all leather, the retail value of this furniture is slightly higher than what you may find in other stores. I love the color because it blended in with my decor. The texture of the sofa is great, and is smooth to the touch. There are two recliners on eithe...

I got this Brighton St. Moritz Ladies Pink Leather Watch for Christmas a few years ago. My mother had paid $60.00 for it at the Navy Exchange. It came in a beautiful collectible tin box that was adorned with flowers. All of the numbers and hands are black. The face is square and the color is pink. On the face itself, instead of a 12 there is a silver heart. At the bottom right hand there is a s...

I have leather settees at home. My children are very young so they touch the leather settees with dirty hands and also walk on them with shoes on. I used to clean them by leather cleaning lotion. I find it a very tiring job because first I had to dilute the solution in water and then clean it using special cloth.Once I saw a Mr sheen leather cleaning wipes at my friend's house . She told me...

I love leather. It is one of my favorite materials. Most of the bags I have used or carried have always been leather. Why should my backpack be any different?About 6 years ago, I bought the Jackson Leather Backpack. Since then, this backpack has been used for many purposes. It was about this same time that my legs were beginning to fail me. I was walking with the aide of forearm crutches, which...

I have been looking for a new pair of leather sandals for a few months now.  When I first tried these on, I knew I had a winner!  The leather straps are SO soft and flexible and the shape of the shoe fit my foot perfectly.  The 19.99 sale pricetag also made me very happy!The first time I wore these I walked with my son in the pet parade.  Who in their right mind would wear a...

We have a HUGE Swap meet here in town every Sunday during the spring and summer months. There are all kinds of vendors, and you can find some really good deals on just about anything you can think of. My husband found these Establo Boots. I am not familiar with the brand. All I know is that my father in law bought a similar pair (different brand) for $200 dollars so we were thrilled that my h...

I got this perfume as a gift from my sister and I was just amazed by it! it's really the secret potion of seducing. To start off, the bottle resembles a traditional Oud oil bottle by its' famous design and colors. You pour some of the perfume in a small tester-like sprayer and use it like that which I believe gives it some magical touch. The smell lasts for as long as you can imagine, ...

Though I don't really consider myself to be a gardener, I do work with plants both inside my house and outdoors. I don't mind if my hands get dirty, but I hate trying to get dirt out of my fingernails or breaking nails while working.  I've owned several pairs of gloves over the years, but these are, by far, the best. First of all, they feel great on my hands and the fit is perf...

When I had bought my Kindle 2, I had also bought the cover with it. The original came with a cover, but this version, it was only available separately. They have their reasons for doing that. That is okay for me as not everyone would want the cover I did choose which is supposedly the type that came with the original Kindle. The reason that I had bought it is because I felt that this was a...

Quit wearing those raggedy, trashy Chuck Taylors already and get with the program! It's a known fact that all the hip and cool kids these days wear Jack Purcells. What is Jack Purcell you may ask? Well let me inform you, viewer! Jack Purcell is basically a sub-branch of Converse, much like Epiphone is a sub-branch of Gibson guitars. Out of all my years of horrible shoe purchases and many re...

Having bought myself a large motor scooter earlier this year, I went shopping for a pair of quality riding gloves to wear now that the weather has gotten colder.  I looked at Banana Republic, Coach, and Wilson's but the only store that carried gloves large enough for my long fingers and wide hands was Brook's Brothers.  Now I am glad that none of the other stores had my size, ...
