I am an absolute beginner when it comes to leatherwork and Ashlyn was so patient and helpful. I…read moreexplained what I wanted to make (following a pattern I purchased from an Etsy seller) and she helped me pick out a piece of leather and explained what made it a good fit for my project. I asked if she could give me a run down on what tools I would need to put a design on the leather and she showed me the basics and told me a bit about how to use them. We looked at lots of things, but I never felt pressured to buy everything she showed me or like I was being "upsold." I left feeling confident and prepared for my project.

Intended to accompany the sharkskin-trimmed model 55BNH holster received at the same time, this black sharkskin belt has to be among the best available from any source in America. The holster is, of course, equally excellent in fit, finish and general craftsmanship as those of us who prefer leather holsters have become accustomed to expect in Milt Sparks products.

A scavenger hunt I was on, brought me past Indie MADE, which is located in Old Boise. One look in…read morethe window and I couldn't resist stopping in. A gift shop of the highest order. Local everything. Indie everything. Shirts, hats, amazing hand crafted jewelry, belt buckles, locally made candles. Honestly, you could spend far too long in here. I mean, they had a leather growler holder for your bike! Or, a similarly made wine bottle holder! Seriously? I need both of those items. Depending on the day. I found a locally made birthday card for a friend (made by local biz Rainbow Sprinkles). Prices aren't cheap, but what you might expect for quality products (the birthday card was $3--which seemed completely reasonable). If you're shopping for someone, and aren't entirely sure what to get them--come here. So many unique, thoughtful gift ideas, you'll be inspired. Get to it!

Today I was shopping for a unique birthday gift for a friend. I finally settled on a colorful martini glass made in the Republic of Czechoslovakia, but the three red leather art-deco counter stools almost made it into my car. Service was so nice and the display designs imaginative. It was so much fun to browse and find hidden gems.

We came, we saw, we did not buy at this new locally owned resale store. There are a couple of…read morereasons why.. Firstly, the store was sparsely stocked. But mostly because the woman manning the store (yes, I did intend that to be a pun) didn't bother to ask if we were looking for anything or if she could help us. This in spite of the fact that there were only two other shoppers in the place, so not as if there was a crush. Given this is newly opened within the last several months, maybe they are still learning the customer care ropes. But they have a lot of competition in the area as resale stores go so one thinks they'd be interested in top notch help for both buyers and possible consigners. We were in for both reasons, actually. I'm shopping for accessories for particular home location. And I have a hand knotted, vegetable dyed, Pakistan originated, wool area rug that I'm hoping to consign. They did have some rolled rugs standing in the store, so it may be they would take mine. But since the person working there ignored us, only a cursory hello in response to my "hi" to her, I think I'll continue looking for both consignment and buying. Ending on a high note, the place is spotless and some of the accessory items look as if new. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: Private lot. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Once you get in the door, the store is all on one floor with mostly ample clearances between items. But the parking lot here is another of many Boise area examples of parking that does not meet Federal ADA rules or Idaho Accessibility Building Code minimums. Neither for scope nor for design. However, that failure is the the strip mall owner's and not the store's. 3) NEIGHBOR: At the other end of the strip mall you'll find Model Home Furnishings which is recently under new ownership. You'll get a great welcome and helpful assistance from the women working there.
