Say bye-bye to Bad Boy, he’s been adopted and is going to a nice ranch house somewhere in Texas Hill country.    His friend Percy is still available, however, and promises to behave himself at YOUR house if you’d only take him home with you.  Come visit him at Ann’s this weekend:

Bad Boy found a home with an Ann's customer.

Good news, girls: Percy is still available! Wouldn't you like to take him home? $750 and he's yours!

Small purses with lovely details give Western style a modern flair!  Each is tooled embossed leather and decorated uniquely with Swarovski crystals, turquoise and other stones, leather stitching and metalwork.  Straps are long ball chain with leather at the shoulder for comfort, or tuck the strap into the bag to carry as a small clutch.  There is enough space for your iPhone, lipstick, keys and credit card.   (So you’ll need to tuck your flask in your boot, gals.)  Handmade, $269 each.

You don’t have to dance to have Texas style (but it helps) if you swing a western bag across your shoulder.  This one is tooled leather with pockets and a longer, adjustable strap.  It fits comfortably across your body and holds all your stuff.   $99.50. 

Give them something striking with elegant western appeal:  etched crystal.  Wine glasses, carafes, even book-ends are decorative as well as functional, so they’ll be as pretty to display as use.  Texas is the land of the longhorn, and this is our crystal:

Etched wine carafe with elaborate saddle design, $229

Rosewood and etched crystal longhorn bookends, $295

Wine glass of etched crystal, $49.50

Etched crystal wine carafe with stampeding longhorns, $229

Do you need a graduation gift?  

Leather travel pieces not only look great, they wear well and get better with age.  Smaller, personal pieces work hard to keep you organized.  Embossed leather has a western feel and comes in colors like red, tan, black and chocolate.   Rolling briefs hold all your office needs while on the road, and cosmetic bags are made to fit over the handle of the smaller rolling suitcase.  Or choose a duffel for weekend travel…what grad wouldn’t love one of these as a graduation gift?
