I made one very similiar for your gramdma jean as well. I don't know what happen to it after she died. I would give anything to have it. I enjoyed tooling leather so much. I always fantasized about being able to tool leather on the side as a hobby/side business. One of those Walter MItty things about your dad. Val is so glad for you and it is a beautiful purse. It brings back memories for me. We both love you and we both think constantly of the "trail ride through the redwoods" Can't wait.popeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014402429892871706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203010030620793006.post-1201925542791074262014-02-08T17:43:47.735-08:002014-02-08T17:43:47.735-08:00Hey mom, I thought I remembered that but wasn'...Hey mom, I thought I remembered that but wasn't sure if I made it up.
