“watch” this, belles…an H.Goose find

Need a cool Valentine’s gift idea??  Check this out!

One belle recently made a new friend at the Post Office (it pays to be friendly, folks!).  This new friend happened to be a young man who is in the watch-making business and was shipping watches to customers all over the country.  Well, of course, this belle’s ears perked up!  We mean…what self-respecting belle/style blogger doesn’t dig an enterprising young fella who is following his dream and making beautiful things??

Fast forward a few hours and we found ourselves searching through the H. Goose website and drooling over the simple, classic, locally-made timepieces!  Take a gander…


And one belle’s personal fave…

The “larger” Saluda Field watch with smooth brown leather band.  A MUST-have for our fellas (and perhaps ourselves!!)

Available locally (the Greenville area) at Gage’s on Augusta and M.Judson on Main Street, and online at HGoose.com, this just might be the perfect last minute Valentine’s gift for your sweetie (male or female!).  And the price point is belle-ringin’ too!  Just $165 for the majority of the designs.  Score!!

Check it out, belles!!
