Handbags

@handygal2   I haven't seen the coated canvas in person either.

I like the concept though...

Dillard's has one 5 star review on the similar bag.

"Absolutely LOVE this bag!! It can be used for work or the gym or as an overnight bag!!"

I think that the Dillard's bag would make me look like I was running away from home.  The HSN bag is on a smaller scale.  I am looking for a summery "long day" bag for trips to the farmer's market, wineries, appointments where I am lugging extra stuff. 

Still love the $$$ Postcard series on her website

I have a little excitement to share   I'm documenting a new rescue on the Bird's Nest thread in the Among Friends forum. 

The full story is there and here's a snapshot.

Oliver (cat allowed to roam outside from down the street) tried to take out a pigeon that I assumed was a baby because it looks like a juvenille.  Didn't see the fight on Friday evening but I noticed Oliver in the yard and I went in the backyard to chase him outta my yard for the umpteenth time in almost a year.

Found injured pigeon cowering under my new converta a bench. 

Named the bird Finley yesterday which means brave warrior with fair skin.  Bird is primarily white and the name fit to me.

Decoded the band on Finley's leg.  I believe Finley is what's called a homing racer pigeon.  Finley is registed with the American Racing Pigeon Union, was born and banded in 2016 and is from the Foys racing club - in Beaver Falls Pennsylvania.

Yea, you read that right and yea they can really travel that far.

Since Finley is 3 and clearly knows about interstate travel, the popular advice on multiple websites is to heal Finley and let Finley go because the bird will know how to get home.

No sooner do I reconcile that this is the best way to handle this particular bird, Finley reveals her gender to me by laying an egg on the bed in the closet.   

Now, if this was a pregnant sparrow I wouldn't even flinch.  I have life experience raising a baby immediately after hatching.  

Since Finley is 3 I am praying (not kidding) that this is not her first time at the mother rodeo.  Pigeons create milk (much like humans do) for their babies and that's how they feed them.  When humans hand raise a baby pigeon tube feeding is involved and I don't know how to do that.  I'm not sure I want to know how to do that.

If you could send a good thought or two my way, I would appreciate it.

@Bird mama  Amazing! They know you are Birdmama and will take care of them if they are injured! Oh boy about the egg right away. I will read the whole story on the other thread. In the meantime, I'll be thinking positive thoughts for good luck!
