I have added a new belt buckle to my growing collection today, this time one made by my friend Greg Morgan, who is Ryaton Leatherworks. Greg makes amazing belt buckles, belts and has recently started working on making shoes - all out of leather. A few weeks ago I had asked him to make me a belt as a sort of memento of Edmonton before I leave for Winnipeg this summer. I sent him some ideas and pictures (I had in mind a compass-like design for the belt buckle) and also asked if he could inscribe the words "Edmonton 2001-2011" along a belt that I could purchase as well. In just a couple of short weeks Greg had everything that I had asked for ready and I went this morning to pick up the belt and buckle from his shop.

I won't be wearing a suit to my grade 9 "grad" this Tuesday as some of my friends are - but instead now I'll have something even cooler to wear!

Love it! What an excellent memento of your time in Edmonton. If you do wear it to grad, take some pictures for us. :-)
