Hi folks. I've been away on vacation. Brought my brunito pillow with me and the yellow sand wallet. It was pretty rainy at our destination and I tended to put the whole thing inside a fabulous coated canvas tote that followed me home from Italy last year.

No new purse acquisitions to share. The big excitement in my neighborhood was spotting a mountain lion too close for comfort and much closer in among the houses than I had ever seen. And, there's a wild turkey in the neighborhood too. Too much for one day really.

Welcome back! We have packs of wild turkeys but they generally don't bother anybody, being a turkey and all. It's neat to watch them move away from perceived danger, they just "flow" away... Although one dumb bird did take a flying leap at my Mini once, which made me think he considered it some kind of competition. LOL.

Now, cougars - that would be a thing. I'd be fascinated and terrified all at once. I take it you must live in a mountainous area of CA?

One more testament to the versatility of the pillow bag for traveling. :tup:

I live in a small coastal community south of San Francisco that backs up to open space and hills (or mountains to some of you). You are spot on with your description of how you would feel. We expect mountain lions in the hills but, down among our houses? A whole other story.

I am not sure where to ask my question-so I'll do it here.:smile:
Where can I send a Bottega for colour restoration in Europe?
Shall I send it to Bottega Veneta or is there a sort of leather clinic that does this job as good?
Thank you:flowers:

Do you think they're looking for food/water? I'm wondering because now that it's hot here, squirrels are eating my drip system trying to get water. I envy you living near the ocean where it's so much cooler than central calif.

It is just really really gawd-awful hot in Sacramento. At 6:45am it was 84 degrees. Supposedly, it'll get cooler starting tonight. But this heat wave and my 'of-age' hot flashes are a pretty sticky combination. The poor dogs, already on the lazy side of things, are downright slug-like.

RE the turkeys: We have a good sized flock in our neighborhood. The boys are really funny. They just poof out with no lady turkeys in sight. I just tell them to get their feathers back inside because it's just me. The dogs don't even care anymore. They walk right past them. The only thing about the turkeys that Les and Harry are interested in is some fresh turkey poop (ewww). The ladies hang out about a block away.

Modern Leather NYC handles the BV work on this side of the pond - check with them for a quote; they've done fantastic work for several of us who send straight to them without BV as the middleman.

We have been very fortunate during this hot spell. We have had temps barely over 70. Some days we have had patchy fog. This morning it is 60 and sunny.

Re the big cat, definitely looking for food. He may have spent the day in the cool shady area near where I saw him.

About that turkey. She is still here this morning, although a couple of houses further down the road. She has wandered away from her flock and we would love for her to be reunited with them SOMEWHERE ELSE. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Doggie and I will be taking our walks down the middle of the street for a little while.

60 and sunny sounds like a dream come true. Right now, I have an AC guy here servicing my unit. I'll be happy if it just needs the coils cleaned. I have my fingers crossed.

hey everyone,
I am new here and I am so sure where to ask my question, so I will try to aks my question here. I hope that is ok..
I bought a BV bag back in february. It is a tote bag in a metallic grey color.
Until now I have only used it for 5 or maybe 6 times. But I start to realize that the dark grey color is probably a overspray.
Because the dark grey overspray on the handles start to peel off... I can already see the light grey color underneath it..
It doesn't look pretty.. it looks a little bit disgusting actually...
Can I bring it back to the shop and ask them to fix it for me? Is it possible to fix it?
Thanks
Have a good day..

We aren't the ones to ask. You are on the right track, though. Take it back to the shop where you bought it and ask. Too many months may have gone by, though. Best of luck to you.
