Looking for Christmas gifts? Let Lantern Leather help! This is my current inventory after several successful craft events, please see the photos for further info. NO MACHINES are used to create the leather products- everything is hand cut, hand punched, hand stitched. I am willing to bundle and deal so don't hesitate to reach out. Every purchase over $75 gets a free keychain or bracelet!! I will ship within reason or meet you in the Madison/Oregon/Evansville/Janesville/Albany area. Payment can be made with cash/card/Venmo/PayPal. Thank you for looking and don't hesitate to contact me for custom requests!

Please be advised that if you do not have an active FB profile or some other way for me to verify that you are a real person, your inquiries will be disregarded. There are far too many scammers out there and I’m not going to take the risk of losing my product/time/money to someone I don’t know is legit. Prospective buyers, please be sure to like the Lantern Leather page for this reason. Thank you for your understanding.

I’ve always admired the art created by my friend and high school classmate Janet Chojnaki. We currently have one of her paintings in our living room and I love it. In June, she & I came up with the crazy idea to swap art pieces- she would paint a mandala, I would make her a custom lined purse. Today was the fateful day and we were able to make the exchange. What she created from a simple photograph of our yard is astounding! I can’t wait to hang it in our home! I was able to make her a purse- 100% by hand, no machines- in a beautifully rustic brown leather called Borealis Hazel Bay, tanned by Arif & Sons in India. It is lined in brown suede and includes one of my favorite sayings that I thought Janet would appreciate. She and I have shared some unfortunate challenges in life but they lead to a renewed friendship as adults, and I consider that her best gift to me. Check out her art and give her a follow!

Freshly completed 4-pocket money clip wallet that was commissioned through a chance encounter. The color combination they wanted is classically excellent! While this one is spoken for, I will have other handcrafted leather goods for sale at the Country Craft Fair in Wisconsin Rapids this weekend. Hope to see you there!

After another long layoff due to a second carpal tunnel surgery, I’ve finally returned to the workbench! The healing process has been slow but steady, and being careful now should pay dividends later. Made a couple guitar straps for the first time, a simple yet classic style & design. Plenty of hand stitching in them, nearly 40’ of thread! I will be looking to do other designs going forward but these are a solid start.

Based on a suggestion from my sister, I made a scaled down version of the Beam Bag. It’s still big enough to hold our modern sized cell phones, a small pocketbook and whatever else ladies carry for shorter excursions on the town. These bags also have a magnetic closure at the top due to overwhelming demand.
