Mr. Lentz Amazing Handmade Bike Light

***WARNING, DAD IF YOU ARE READING THIS, TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND WALK AWAY!***

Just kidding. my Dad doesn't really read my blog, at least not that I know of! But really, I am about to share with you something really incredible. Inside this box. What's inside the box. Come on, whats in the box? {I watch a lot of movies...}

When Evan from Mr. Lentz contacted us about doing a trade, I was overjoyed. I love all of his incredible work. It's unique and the craftsmanship is quality. But, I didn't know what to trade for. His jewelry is insane, but since it's the giving season, I thought I would pick out something to get for Doug. Of course, the first thing that really stood out was the bike light! Well, then I just felt sneaky for having Doug work on a pair of sunglasses for one of his Christmas gifts, so I told him the plan and he suggested we give this bike light to my Dad, an avid cyclist and craftsman who will totally appreciate it. So, here it is.

Jaw dropping gorgeous. I love everything about it. It is small enough to not be bulky, but big enough to not get lost in the bottom of the bike bag. It is obviously durable and I love that he uses a natural beeswax finish.

So, I am pretty positive I am the best daughter of all time and my Dad will go gaga over this. Brownie points for that washer and dryer I need help buying. Just kidding, guys. I hope that Mr. Lentz loves his sunglasses as much as we love this bike light.

I have to walk down to the shop right now and get it straightened up before tomorrow. We got flooded from the rain over the weekend and it's a big old mess in there. Then it's back to sunglasses. All night long.

PS Did I mention that we have a pair of patchwork sunglasses available to be shipped asap. No wait time! :)
