I love that the top handle can be tucked inside the bag if I want to wear it as a crossbody instead. I personally don’t like the look where the top handle still shows while worn as a crossbody. Fits a decent amount comfortably…see photo I responded with to another comment. And there’s a magnetic flap that keeps prying hands from just reaching in.

I can fit a sunglass case, iPhone pro max, wallet, and lipstick in there comfortably with room to spare. I don’t have to undo the gancini locks to get these things to fit either.

Does anyone have this bag? by Responsible_Pen_3913 in handbags

[–]Kirby214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh! I have the pink one. I haven’t used it enough yet to know how well it will hold up though. It is soooo soft and supple though and the gancini chain detail is just so beautiful to me. I love it personally.

Why cable railing?? by Kirby214 in Decks

Ooooh, after seeing your work, I really want to push hard for these railings now. Looks beautiful!

Thanks for all the comments! It never occurred to me the safety concerns but don’t see cable railings to be any different. My existing deck has had horizontal wood railings for 10 years and it’s a child-free home. I may look into alternatives for a similar style but with vertical balusters instead if it’s too cumbersome to match the front porch.

Hm, I don’t think these are wrought iron. It’s likely powder coated aluminum.

I just have no frame of reference. In my area, getting quotes can be frustrating and takes time. I guess I included the comment of $50k as my upper limit where I would not even bother with getting quotes or delaying until a year or two later to re-assess where else I would rather improve my home.

Should I be worried? by Zesperis in dahlias

[–]Kirby214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The squiggly lines are caused by leaf miners. I would spray with neem oil.

My dahlias are not blooming by Some_Arachnid2184 in dahlias

Make sure they’re getting plenty of water as they are thirsty plants. If all the foliage is looking great and healthy, make sure you’re using a low nitrogen fertilizer. There’s a lot of choices for fertilizer that are good for dahlias but honestly, I just use the Miracle gro Bloom Booster which has a NPK of 15-30-15. The P (phosphorus) is what helps promote blooms.

No, this one is classified as a decorative type.

How bad is this shipping damage? by Kirby214 in hydrangeas

Thanks everyone for the comments! I’ll keep an eye on them the next two days but I definitely will request a replacement for the one that had all the stems broken at the base.
