Any minute now.... !! Larkin and her Mom, Ettie stopped by the shop today ... and maybe Tester #6 will be introducing himself later today?? Larkinis anxious for labor to start -and with her slow gait today and far-off look in her eyes, the Elves are betting that tonight might be the night. Larkin and […]

As a former high-tech engineer, this shoe elf sometimes longingly remembers the days of fancy testing equipment. First on my wish list would be a heavy duty shoe "walker" that could put 100,000,000 steps on our new models overnight to give us quick feedback on durability of materials (kind oflike the bionic kid).

Available in Chocolate, Brick or Loden Green for children and youth.

Halloween is fun at the workshop as our downtown area is a popular trick-or-treating destination. This year we handed out over 100 bags of leather scraps to trick-or-treaters for craft projects - ornaments, cards, jewlery, bookmarks... How fitting that elf DeAnn (left) also decided to dress up as a "Scrap Pile". Bandmaster Tim was on […]
