Until recently I worked full time with a fancy title in an office/warehouse. And now I don’t. I’m walking dogs, and it’s fucking amazing. I ride my bike all over the city, get paid to play with pups, and have a lot more time and inclination to take on more creative freelance work.

Today I stopped at the army navy store hoping to find a winter vest, but I didn’t. Instead I found a French vintage leather monocle case. I don’t have a monocle, but I do a lot of little things to keep on my person during the day (sunglasses, poop bags, raincoat, notes, pens, gloves soon, etc). My Fabric Horse halfbelt (which I LOVE) was not quite enough, and I’d rather keep my arms free and not carry a bag when riding. This works perfectly.
