It's that time of the month...the time when I open The Steemit Leather Shop for one week!  Time for you to treat yourself for all your hard work blogging, curating and interacting on Steemit by using that Steem to purchase a handcrafted leather accessory designed by Armadilloman!

What is a crypto like Steem really? A store of value? A fiat representing a fiat currency? A currency itself?  An asset like your baseball card collection or your riding lawn mower?  Step into Armadilloman's Steem Leather Shop where you can exchange your SBD or Steem, whatever you think it is, for real hold-them-in-your-hands items. Handcrafted, embossed, painted and hand sewn leather goods with the Steem symbol and Steemit name that you can purchase today!

The STEEM/SBD price is marked on each item will be good for the duration of the post.  I will custom make for you and ship to you the item for the price in this post.  Just comment below that you wish to purchase to get the ball rolling.  If you wish to purchase with USD (payable through Etsy), comment below and I will get you a current quote and how to do that information.

CUSTOM MADE ITEMS MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE AS EVERY PIECE OF COWHIDE IS DIFFERENT AND ACCEPTS COLOR DIFFERENTLY. I TRY TO TAKE PICTURES THAT TRULY REPRESENT THE ITEM. THE ACTUAL ITEM MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN COLOR DUE TO LIGHTING, PHOTO PROCESSING AND THE MONITOR YOU ARE VIEWING.  

If you wish to purchase an item for USD on Etsy and live ouside of the USA, Sorry... I am not taking  international orders from my Etsy shop.  Nothing against shipping internationally, its just that I can scarcely keep up with domestic demand on Etsy, let alone global. So I limit the Etsy market to the USA.    I will certainly ship items sold from Steemit intenationally (allow 4 weeks delivery) BUT international buyers will be responsible for their own customs duties.  Sorry, no, I won't lie on the form to say it is a gift, so please don't ask me to. 

International orders must provide a contact phone number (blame stamps.com not me for that one)

Here is the deal.  These are custom, made to order items. All of the items in this post can be purchased with SBD or STEEM. If you would like to purchase using SBD, Steem or USD, let me know in a comment below and we will chat about it.  If you wish to talk via email, give me a shout via a message, on chat or discord and I will send you an email address.   If you are an Etsy user, and would rather, we can negotiate payment and exchange shipping info privately through the Etsy message system.  

This little leather shop is my power up project and all the Steem received will stay on the Steemit platform. Selling within the Steemit environment is still an experiment for me. If something does not make any sense, please let me know in the comments below. 

Not interested in purchasing today but still like what you see?  Please upvote, follow and resteem! It is an encouragement to me!  

To maximize my time, I do most of my upvoting and following through Steem Engine.  You should too!
