Finally,
1st pic .... Metallic cherry wallet/wristlet .... but honestly, i'm going to use this as a clutch. I love dark red and I love metallic -- though wear on metallic surfaces scares me. But I just desperately wanted something in this color. I figure that I won't be using this inside any other bags, so less wear and tear on the surface that way. And I only use clutches when I'm not juggling a lot of other things, so I'll be able to be more careful overall.
------------------------------------
And for the last three pics ....
Well, I've said before that we're bird people in our family. A bit of an "impromptu" parrot rescue. We lost two birds this last summer despite heavy medical intervention, and took in two more. (And of course my beloved aunt passed within the same month as the birds ... and she was the reason my childhood home was always filled with animals in the first place. I'm still spending an inordinate amount of time dealing with the estate and loose ends of her life.) ..... But anyway, I guess it's not a shock, then, that some of my retail therapy has been with our birdies in mind.
Indeed, my first "retail therapy" last month was an orange Coach mini Ruby bag. One of our birds is a freak, completely unexpected mutation of his species, and is almost entirely neon orange. (He's mommy's cuddly little "Mr. Orange Pants".) And by coincidence, his name is Ruby. So when Coach came out with the "orange" "Ruby", how could I *not* buy it? And how could I *not* pick up the orange feather to go with it???
2nd pic .... My "orange Ruby" with orange feather .... and my OTHER "orange Ruby", also with orange feathers.
3rd pic ... my two most recent feathers (PCE, along with other items above) ... black cherry feather and orange feather.
4th pic ... A Wing of Feathers.
The black one was from last year when they accidentally started selling the Dakotah bag fob as an independent item. I restrung its pieces onto more reliable hardware, plus a lobster claw.
The white and blue I purchased on our July wedding anniversary .... just three days after our little blue and white lovebird passed. (And she died on our first-date-anniversary. Sigh, that'll knock down anniversaries for a while. We're back to having eight birds, but in terms of utter personality, she was the heart of the house.)
Blush I grabbed from ebay because I love the color too much and just didn't want to miss it.
Orange (for our orange mutation "Ruby"), and black cherry from PCE.
And believe me, I'm careful with them. I never did trust those screws that hold Coach's new "clips" onto their fobs and straps. I keep the larger keyring within the clip at all times (it will save the feathers if the screw comes out), and always use additional, homemade safety chains as well.
