Earning your patina.We love supporting local brands. So when @mkebootco & our old friend @bennett_young asked if wed share our story about working at camp, we were happy to oblige.This summer, they shot a little film (and a lot of hours) for the fall line that is coming out. We promised to share a few previews & outtakes. And while I wont ever get used to being in pics, i have gotten used to my new boots. Thanks, @mkebootco for showing that women over 50 need work boots, too. And the kind that are made to last.Fun fact: in the chainsaw shot, I was 5 mos preg with Charlie (wearing the only pair of boots I had). At the risk of somebody getting offended- I did this with an abundance of caution. My brother is a lineman and an arborist, teaches chainsaw safety for the state – and the saw was a wedding registry gift. We were only clearing light brush- ( being one of 5 kids raised between corn & hogs, this was normal).Our dad always told us to keep your hands dirty. (Meaning keep your head down, dont be afraid of work. It gives you perspective & makes you grateful.) We have no shortage of opportunities around here for that. Looking forward to breaking these in. Heres to the things that earn their patina.
