Thanks.

Several layers of collonil waterstop & gel later, dogon duos are go!
Black one in the vicster.

And
ginormous rooster attached to vic handle--year of the rooster WILL notice my efforts!
Red bays launching out of wardrobe soon.

(omg, miss old mulberry's bags/leathers!

)
No idea about quoting issue? Blame the storms.

Brilliant plan!

My horse button & black cord jumble still works, on deadly ponies zipper.
But definitely would love a regular/daily un-ginormous-rooster charm for mr. fill n zip. Teeeeeeeeeny zipper.
