Well hello there! That was some fishing trip! Actually I didn’t catch any real fish, but I have been working since the summer on an awesome new professional project that is taking up a lot of my time. Everyone is doing great, thank goodness…i have missed you guys though, very much, and I’m happy to be back…
I’m ready for fall and I’m dying for a new pair of Frye boots to keep my black “harness” pair company…hmmm so many to choose from…and i LoVe this shoemaking company, with a rich heritage rooted in a small New England town…
beautifully crafted footwear that lasts a lifetime and only gets better with age…mine are 5 years old and are yet to be broken in…i’m only getting started…
these ‘Dorado’ ones are sweet as well, crafted from gaucho leather…and the sole is to die…soles, my friends, really do matter…
so many boots, so little time…how does one choose?
it’s hard to commit since they will last forever, right?…which ones are your faves? Nice to be back…enjoy this lovely day, xocc ♥

a.b.k Custom Leather Craft…Brooklyn-based leather craftswoman Alya B. Kazakevich produces this incredible line…talent, beauty and nostalgia abound…
{all images from a.b.k and photography by Ani Berberian}
Particularly nostalgic for me since my grandfather was a hide dealer in South America and I remember distinctly visiting his factory as a child and seeing all the craftspeople making shoes and leather goods. It was noisy from all the pounding and stitching. The hides were rolled & stacked up to the ceiling…but the one thing that is indelible in my brain is that glorious smell! When I was in grade school my aunt and grandmother went to Spain and brought my sisters and I these beautiful handmade leather book bags, which I thought were cool but so not “American” at the time so I wouldn’t carry it…what a fool I was and what beautiful works of art these goods are!
Have a great Wednesday…more Hey Little Diddle product shots to do today…it’s gorgeous out and more client shopping to work on…xocc ♥
