Candy Wrapper Purse



This purse was made out of candy wrappers.  I've only seen one other like it that was made out of potato chips bags.  The zipper had come loose from the bag so we reattached it.

Many people don't know that we work on saddles and tack.  I'm not a saddle-maker but can repair many of the things that can go wrong.

Bella Ballerina by Skechers




This was brought in today for repair.  The loop that held the strap on was broken.  We will repair the loop so she can get back to what these shoes were made for...twirling like a ballerina. The purple cirlcle at the front of the shoe is a spinning disk.  I took the information about these shoes from the Sketchers website:



  • Bella B. shoes are full of fun and glee, just a few steps and you're a twirling machine!
  • Make sure your shoes are nice and secure, and no loose objects are found on the floor
  • Once that is done you can get on your toes, push with your other foot, and around you go!
  • Make up your own style of tricks to do, and let Bella bring out the Ballerina in you
  • Take time to get acquainted with the shoes, practice with an adult supervising you
  • Use caution when spinning like a top, and if you feel like you're getting dizzy or off balance - stop!
  • Place your other foot to stop your spin, a little practice and you're ready to begin

    LED Lights Inside Clear Heelbase On No Boundaries Thong Sandals


    This was a pair of No Boundaries clear vinyl thong sandals with a clear heelbase and platform.  We reattached the soles and replaced the toplifts.  While working on them we discovered they had LED lights in the heelbases. The video was taken in the dark to show the lights better.
