Glenstone Times / A Springfield Leather Periodical
November 2009
Greetings!

What you're holding in your hands, that is, if you could hold it in your hands, (electronic mail ya know) is the first, (and what some will no doubt hope to be the last) edition of...  "The Glenstone Times!!!" (The Springfield Leather Newsletter.) You'll find it to be somewhat different than other newsletters. It's not meant to be taken too seriously. Rather, it's intended to be fun, and anymore, who doesn't need a little fun in their life? Springfield Leather is located on a street named Glenstone, (hence the name), and the stories contained in it about people and places are all completely true. Well... Kind of...Sort of.. maybe... a little bit sometimes...or maybe not at all.  The events described have pretty much taken place in the area around Springfield, MO. Also within, you'll find some offers on products that we hope will appeal to you, but the main intent again, is just to have a laugh or two. But, unfortunately, some folks can't take a joke, so you will find a disclaimer at the end of this letter. Again, we hope you see our attempts at humor for what they are, a way to lighten things up a little, in times that are not so funny.

 
Sincerely,
 
Don't pin this on me!

Big Toss Lands In Record Books
Web Only Bargain on Elk!
Just Lovely, More Stupid Dogs
Shape It With Kydex
Little Lady's Big Toss Dumps Her In The Record Books!
Letta MayBordtatears, AR
   Ida May Hooper may only stand 4'-3", ( that's in her Red Wing boots), but on Saturday at the 13th Annual Boredtatears Cow Pie Toss, she flung a chip that landed into the record books! 83'-4" was the official length, beating out 2nd place winner, Olderin Dirt, a 93 year old from Muncy county, by 79 feet. There was only one other entrant, 89 year old Etta B. Awile of Boredtatears, who was disqualified for throwing a frozen pie! Evidently Etta misunderstood the contest and ended up tossing a Sara Lee Key Lime pie 86 feet, a winner and record if it had only been a cow pie. Actually, Mrs. Awiles pie would have traveled further, if it hadn't  been stopped by the head of Clucky Cow, the event mascot. Clucky was treated for a minor horn injury, and allowed to keep the pie.
   "I owe my technique to my brother Muley" (not pictured) said Hooper. "I used to pelt him with cow plop after he would steal my filtered Camels and take off across the pasture behind the double wide." Hooper broke the previous record of 81'-8"which was set by Benden Ralax, a retired proctologist. The event was sponsored by Springfield Leather Company, who in honor of Miss Hooper's outstanding accomplishment is offering a $5.00 off coupon which can be used by any customer on their next SLC web site purchase.  See coupon below.
SLC WEB ONLY BARGAIN ON ELK SKINS
Elk Skin
This is a Bargain!!! Gold elk hides, sides, and small skins for 1.99 per ft. As you can imagine, at this price they won't be close to perfect, but they're just not too bad, and certainly worth the money. Almost all the skins will have some top grain issues, but the backs are (for the most part) pretty darned good! Some hides will have a rough side, and a side that's almost perfect. Regardless, they'll be great for moccasins, bags, chaps, leggings, and all sorts of things where a rustic look is desired. Get these while you can, because they won't last forever at this price! THIS IS A WEB ONLY SPECIAL!

Our Price: $1.99 per sq. ft.

  JUST LOVELY... MORE STUPID DOGS!!!
Kevin Hopkins  Anyone who has bought anything from Springfield Leather Company has more than likely heard about Teddy.. the stupid dog referred to by owner Kevin Hopkins (owner of SLC that is..) Kevin would never claim to own Teddy...  that honor he bestows upon his wife. Yes, anyone who has ever read one of Kevin's ads in the Leathercrafters Journal, knows that Teddy brightens up Kevin's life about as much as a turn signal bulb illuminates the middle of the North Atlantic sea at midnight!
  So, all logic would assume that this man would never allow one more stupid dog in his home, and by golly he wouldn't allow one...rather, he has allowed FOUR more stupid dogs to share his dwelling! That's right..FOUR!  But, to be fair, it began originally with only one tiny Chihuahua, so no doubt Kevin thought, how much space could this little girl invade? Well, not so much.. until it became PREGNANT and had three yappy, whining, fussy, puppies! Elk Skin
   Anyway, ol' Ted is sleeping a little better knowing that the term stupid is not solely attributed to him anymore, and as for Kevin's sleep.... lets just say there's three reasons it not so good.
  Hey, if you'd like to ask Kevin how life is with four more stupid dogs, or maybe have a leather crafting question you can contact him at the link below.
