A Most Wonderful Gift Made Just For Me

But, before I unveil it, in all it's glory, it had humble beginnings...

Keith made a model of my camera {big hint} and gave it to my {loving} brother-in-law.

And just guess what he made for me!

John's workmanship [IMG_4389]

Yes! It is just the most wonderful camera case ever made! He made it himself, staining the leather to make it look like wood {and doesn't it!} and it turned out so lovely!

{There are just going to be too many exclamation points in this point - no way to avoid it!}

My name is stamped into the leather, just underneath the flap.

The maker's mark is on the back.

I just looove the strap holders on the side. No strap worth of the case has been found yet, but if anyone knows where I can get a good one, let me know!

I love the distressing that is here on the side {and elsewhere}!

And the dove! Hand painted!

I love, love, love it! It is the bestest birthday/Christmas gift ever!

Something handmade is so much more meaningful.
