Hi there,

I know it's been a very long time since anything was posted on this blog.

I am excited to say that we are working on a new leather piece for this year and hope to have it done soon. It will be a new addition to our "convertible bags"

Kathy and I have spent a lot of our time working this winter. We have found our customers here in the northwest are very loyal.

We are really making an effort to try and have the rest of the United States and abroad know who we are. This is a very daunting task. Most importantly if we are to stay in business we need to expand our customer base.

We are really hoping that if any of you get the time and are willing...that you go to www.aceleathergoods.com and do the following:

• Find the product you own on the site by doing a search in the upper left hand corner.
• After finding your product then go to where it says "more info" on the bottom of said product.
• Then right below where it says "add to cart" then "Tell a friend" it then says ..."WRITE A REVIEW" please click on that
• Please if you don't mind take the time to do just that...write a review being honest be it good or be it bad and we will place it on the site for all to see.
• It does ask you after you have clicked "write a review" on the site for a bunch of information that because of the way the site functions we can't get around but...please know that information stays with us and does not go in any way public.
• We have worked with the company that hosts our site and tried to do it differently but just know we respect your privacy but we want your input about your experiences over the years with our products to go where others can see your input.

Thank you in advance and if it is easier please just send us an email with the subject line saying "Testimonial" and be sure to include your name, address, city, state, zip, phone and email knowing none of that information will make it to the posting but the way our site is set up we do need the information to be able to post anything on the site and if that is too much extra time for you to do if you provide us with your story, even adding any pictures you might have we will see to it that your experience is documented
Please call toll free at 1-877-327-2260 with any questions and to all of you...thanks so much: Andrew & Kathy
