    "old" babyb waved her hands over my leathers ( quazzi ones) and i thought they looked ok before... but now, they are so much softer(?) not sure if that is the right word, they just seam so much better!!... as for my boots ( babyb made ME do them... grrrr)
    i now have them back to the nice bright pink they used to be....
    now for my 25 year old leather jacket.... ( if i can get it off luke long enough )

    The comments i had about my leathers are worth passing on.
    The general feedback was that I'd bought a new suit for the nationals. The transformation was that huge.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
